Under the original proposals, newly qualified drivers under 24 years of age faced a night-time driving curfew, a cut in the number of young passengers they could carry and lower alcohol limits. Nearly one in eight road casualties involves a driver aged 17-19, while a new RAC Foundation poll shows two-thirds of adult drivers supported the changes.
But despite strong support from MPs and road safety groups, the Government has backed down from publishing the ‘green paper’, originally promised for last spring, which kicks off the process for the changes to become law.
Presumably the changes aren't needed as young people can't afford to drive

Anyway, I am bored now, I only posted some because I know 'certain' people will ignore the link,
And turning a majority against a low-status minority?, again how typical of the modern politics.
It's hard to see how such a restriction on adults would have been legal anyway. Or as they say, "compatible", with certain other pesky rights.
