I don't disagree a staged license for first time drivers might not be a bad idea but the restrictions are too severe and i don't think age should play any factor, it's everyone or no one.

And if they're going to introduce restrictions of young drivers then at the same time there should be an introduction of mandatory retests at 50-60 years of age to prove road worthiness and update road knowledge.

Absolutely, these restrictions are insane. I'm pretty "anti-car" but throwing random restrictions on under 25 year olds doesn't seem like a good solution to the problem.

The red traffic light proposal is absolutely insane.

Also thanks for posting the articles.
