Legal age to drive 18yrs

I heard on the radio today that the ministers are talking about raising the legal age for driving to 18yrs old.

And some other stuff too.

If i remember them correctly

1. Age of Driving 18yrs
2. 1 year of lessons (didnt hear that properly)
3. No under 21's to give lifts to teenagers after dark?
4. errr somthing else.

Anyone else hear it ?

No under 21's to give lifts to teenagers after dark
heard that one and 18 to drive.
Looks like it`s going ahead too.
I dont think its fair about the after dark thing, takes the piss to be honest, messing with peoples freedom.
F**kin as*holes

I cant see the after dark thing working?
How could you police it?

If you say you just drove from London and it got dark?

They been talking about this for 5 years or more... and will still be talking about in 2009 at the next General Election.

after dark, thats 4:30pm in the middle of winter.

So we cant go to midnight Asda/Tesco no more wiv a friend/family in the same car?

Yes you can Pomp, dont worry, they are just proposals, not law, and probably wont be law for a long time, if ever.

I cant see how it would be policed and enforced, and it seems very impractical, so the proposals will most probably just be scrapped.

The 18 law might come into force at sometime in the future though.

we should all use our cars as missiles and crash them in to parliment
