I don't see how that is going to increase crime when all you've got left is the nutters who don't care about the law.
I don't think they are going to commit more crimes because they are the only 17-24 yr olds driving.
If anything I'd think less beacuse of the risk of just being caught driving means picking the place and the time, if the law is being properly enforced.
And this might keep some from being influenced to speed, drive drunk, comit crimes, etc. so hopefully less of them would become involved in such.


Certainly would save a lot of young lives from accidents.

Wait, That might be a plus for me. A job in the UK.
What with all the increased traffic they are bound to need more taxi drivers.
I've got the right qualifications, I'm already a foreigner, and I could be a sleazy scumbag for the right tasty young barmaid. LOL

it would increase crime because you've created a new one. Crashing isn't a crime. Driving during curfew would be.

What happens if you're stuck in traffic on the M25 due to a crash, suddenly you're a criminal.

I was so tired last night I went to bed at 9pm. This is why they don't need a curfew for 40 - 51 year olds. These days I have to be up before 6am whereas when I was 17 I'd have just been off to bed then.
