Quote:Personally, I think it is unfair to target only teens. And, it should be covered by "Reckless Driving" which would include eating, putting on makeup, digging in the backseat, messing around with the radio, and any other assorted activity that distracts the driver from paying attention to the road.
We should just outlaw stupidity and be done with this silliness.
No link kandrathe??
Anyway, I always give my opinion without reading your links, so no difference for me here. :D
We also get tougher laws for teens (well actually people untill the age of 25) regarding drunk driving. So 0 promille instead of 0.4 (or something like that) allowed.
I ahev no problems with this....everybody has been, is, or will be a teen...so it is not discrimination. I mean, your reasoning also means that it is unfair that 6 year olds are not allowed to drive.
By the way insurance companies also use this kind of distinctions. Younger people start by paying more car insurance, even people driving certain cars (VW golfs for example) will pay more insurance because these cars are more likely to be in an accident (a car loved by young people who like racing).
