PASSENGER RESTRICTIONS ARE NO LONGER ON THE LEGISLATION, WE GOT THEM REMOVED.
CHEERS.
Announced on November 16th, 2008, new laws will be introduced into the legislature regarding driving laws and teenagers under the age of 21.
Anyone with any driving experience is familiar with the current graduated licensing system, and the restrictions they entail.
G1 drivers need fully licensed driver with them, a zero blood alchol level, etc.
G2 drivers must have a blood alcohol level of zero, and in the first 6 months of their G2, they can only have one passenger after midnight. Speeding tickets apply as they would to any licensed driver (demerit points, fines, and whatnot).
Annoying, but fair I suppose.
Apparently though, these laws are not enough.
What does this new legislation consist of?
See the article below for the full story, but here's a general summary:
PASSENGER RESTRICTIONS ARE NO LONGER ON THE LEGISLATION, WE GOT THEM REMOVED.
CHEERS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. A new "zero-tolerance" policy will be instituted regarding speeding. This means that any driver under the age of 21 with a G1 or G2 will risk losing their license if they are caught speeding. No questions asked.
Strict suspension policies also apply to G drivers.
For speeding that causes demerit points, the following rules apply.
- First instance - 30-day licence suspension;
- Second instance - 90-day licence suspension;
- Third instance - the driver must return to the start of the
graduated licensing program (G1).
Whether it be 10 km/h over the speed limit or 50 km/h, we can kiss our license goodbye.
2. Same idea as above with the "zero-tolerance", but this one is in regards to drinking. NO ONE under the age of 21 will be allowed to drive with ANY amount of alcohol in their system. If they are found to have the slightest bit of alcohol in their blood, their license is pulled. Just like that. Gone. The G license no longer allows you to have a blood alcohol level of 0.05. Blood alcohol must be ZERO at all times, or you run the risk of losing your license.
3. This one might be the worst. It involves G2 drivers. At NO point is ANY G2 driver allowed to have more than ONE passenger under the age of 19 in their car, in their first year of G2. At any time. One friend, max. This doesn't apply to family. Thinkin of packing a car full of friends like usual? Forget it. They'll take your license.
