All 17 to 24 year olds to be banned from driving at night

[Camy]

I think this is a horrible idea. As per usual everyone gets painted with the same 'all young people are terrible' brush.

[Bun]

so just because some 45 year old female passes her test she's allowed to drive at night but i wouldn't be? it's got potential but needs reforming.

[karter]

I am sure they will cooperate in case of emergencies?

[ihatehash]

lies lies lies, In New Zealand we do not have similar laws, the only law we have thats even a little similar is that you cannot carry unlicensed passengers on your restricted licence (it goes learners, restricted then full)

Pathetic to be honest, like everyone else has basically said.

I doubt they will put this into action, its a shame the only focus on young drivers, yes while there is a lot of accidents caused by young drivers that's not really down to them being young but more down to them being new drivers. You do not get as many older new drives and therefore cannot compare the statics that much.

I also feel that doing this would affect the majority due to the minority, not every young driver is a bad driver.

It didn't, just my crafty (while possibly a little misleading) way of getting people to look at the thread.

Suppose you could extend the title and say "All 17 to 24 year olds to be banned from driving at night if the Government approves".

Actually it should be: Research shows that inexperienced drivers in the 17-24 year old age group being banned from driving at night saves lives.

There is nothing in that article about it going to government, nor will ALL 17-24 year olds be banned, nor is it being discussed by government.
