Proposal of Curfew for young drivers

[The Red]

Did anyone else see this on the news tonight on BBC1?

A proposal has been put forward that no drivers under the age of 21 will be allowed on the roads from 7pm to 6am. Exceptions for those who are working.

 

[buff]

whats the point in that???

surely then they would have to reduce the road tax and insurance premiums if they do that as yournot getting your full value. cant see them doing that though :lol:

 

[Neil_M]

I can see what they are trying to do, but 7pm to 6am is just silly. Young drivers have as much right to be on the roads as anyone else. Hardly that fair IMO.

Sensible curfew times would be a better idea.

When are the kids going to go out racing and impress 15YO girlies by doing handbrake turns in carparks if there is a curfew? :?

I don't think yer man from Sinn Fein has thought this through or does he just want the roads even quieter at night so that his goons can go about the peaceful business of punishment beatings in more privacy? :roll:

The bloke in the Astra doesn't look as if a curfew would affect him anyways!

 

[Boydie]

didnt see it but read it on you know where :roll:

 

[addicted2base]

what will they be at next. ffs 7pm is abit early!!! plus what are you going to be able to do/go. Couldnt drive to the cinema to see a film at nite or anything.

How they gonna police it? More psni time wasted doing silly things!!!!

[addicted2base]

it dont effect me either. but just thinkin of wee bros. (think of all that runnign around youd have to do for lifts etc...)

@ pac-man thats all ni needs more 15yr old babyboom!

 

[DannyLSi]

Its a fvckin joke!! :x

Young drivers get it tite enuf wif r-plates and redicilous insurance premiums without having 2 park their cars up when a couple a w4nkers frm da roadservice want them 2!!

Wats da point of payin insurance, an busting ur b4lls de try and get ur motor lookin rite if ur not even allowed de drive it at night!!

Its naw as if all road traffic accidents happen between dese times!!!



Fvck dem!!!! :x :x :x

sure ulsters under direct rule so he can hardly decide to just do this .
if its true its a ridiculus loads of balls, :x

 

[blkcorsakid]

But if it was to happen we will prob be all over 21 by the time it gets approved!!

 

[Bryan]

Ok, so I live away from my parents with my girlfriend and we rely on the car 24/7. So if I need to go to the shop to get something after 7pm I'd get penalised for it... come on frig sake. That's just crazy.

 

[BJ]

Was it not 9PM anyway? :?

 

[Jonny F]

Its a silly idea it couldn't work fairly at all. If they say there are exceptions for those at work how do u prove whether its work or not??! What if there's an emergency or something urgent comes up and u can't get there cuz u don't have a note from ur boss?? Or what about me, I'm self-employed I could just let on i'm workin anytime!!!
Its a bit drastic IMO! :lol:

 

[Pac-Man]

I vote yes for the curfew :lol:

 

[I R HillBilly]

I back pac for Leader of curfew inforcement.....

Show yr support

Think it through a bit more pac-man! :roll:

While us oldies are either in bed or off our rockers on drink/drugs the kids will be wrecking cars therefore leaving the roads safer during our sobriety!

 

[Dermot]

Will never happen ...
Firstly it COULDNT be Inforced , and whats the point?

 

[moretto]

once again a great idea 4 safety on the roads

wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[VEN©M]

I vote yes for the curfew :lol:

me too

 

[BurntCarcus]

I vote yes for the curfew :lol:

me too!

 

[R.J.H]

Doesnt affect me, but what a load of sh1t??? As said above yet another well thought through safety campaign that will waste even more police time???? POINTLESS

 

[Spoony]

Laod of balls,this wud b nearly impossible to police!!

If it does go ahead,imagine how many more points and fines r gonna be handed out!!!

Bulls**t IMO

 

[Cooper]

Well I suppose in theory if it goes ahead insurance companies wouldn't insure anyone within that age range in those banned times of night. Good way to have yet more uninsured drivers on the roads of NI. What is it - one in ten at the moment. Rediculous.

Anyway, its now online - under watch/bbc newsline about 13 minutes into the video:
