I'm going to take my driver theory test tomorrow, and to be honest, I'm a lil nervous. So on Tuesday, I was at home, infront of the computer, cramming for the test. Mum had the news on, and I heard one of the most ridiculous things. The government wants to add MORE restrictions on learner drivers and those who have just passed the full test.
Already a learner driver must have a fully licenced driver in the car all the time, and then a learner can only be on a provisional licence for 2 years maximum.
Now the government want to add in a rule on the amount of passengers a learner driver can carry, they want to add a curfew, make it that you cannot have certain cars that have big engines, and also a zero tolerence to alcohol.
I don't mind the zero tolerence to alcohol, that I think is a brilliant idea. And the 2 years max is good too, as is having a licenced driver. But the rest of it seems rather pointless. The curfew isn't gonna make learning how to drive any easier, neither is restricting the engine size, limiting the amount of passengers is pointless.
If anything all this does is make the idea of driving more daunting for learners, and soon people will probably just not want to take the test.
All I know is that if I don't pass the test tomorrow... I'm taking the bus...
