Possible curfew for 17-24 year old drivers
 

And allowing learner drivers to take lessons on motorways...

Just a tad controversial but then what's new!

If I'd spent a bloody fortune on lessons etc. to be told I couldn't stay out late to give my sozzled folks a lift back, well I can't see many parents being right chuffed about that for a start!

I hope everyone goes absolutely mental to stop any legislation bringing anything like that into force.

Simple reason being that people called David who might occasionally want to use the family hatchback to collect their mum and dad from the airport will be punished by it... whereas people called Achmed and "Baz" who have stickers on their front wings will completely ignore it and carry on rallying around with 5 of their mates at 3am... because the 3 traffic coppers left in the country have better things to do.

Pointless, unenforceable and immoral.

This better not be true. I drive late all the time. Infact I'm going Cornwall on 7th April, and will be leaving at 2am!

This has been going around for about 6 years!
Its following the Scandinavian model who have done this for over 20 years

If they want to cut the accident rate put car drivers through the same test regime as bikes

They can suck my left one as I need to be able to drive late! I understand younger people are higher risk than older people but you still cant tar everyone with the same brush!

Could put a few people out of a job - 24/7 Fast food places/Supermarkets/Petrol stations/Pubs etc

I like the idea, not just while they are driving, curfew all under 25's, it would solve drunken behaviour, majority of crime, late night violence etc etc.

You wouldn't get drunken youths walking past your house at 4am singing really bad Justin barber songs.


Insurance should offer incentives for young snots not to drive between 11pm and 5am, then they wouldn't need to implement a law then.

Yep that'she big problem with this idea.

A better idea would be to fit the big brother black box to monitor their driving and that would influence how much they pay for their insurance

Yeah it would be a tragedy if big johns and the like had to close and deprive young fatties of nutritional food :rolleyes:
