Opinion of Provisional Driver's Licenses

[DownWithTheLeft]

For obvious reasons I disapprove, especially the plan New Jersey puts forth.

The biggest qualm I have is not over hours, but the asisnine restriction they have limited 17 year old drivers to one person outside of the family.  Although I will be the first to admit I hardly ever let this stop me, they actually give tickets for this (I know someone a ticket away from losing their license).  The restriction not only is bad for the environment, its bad for the checkbook as more people have to drive, which increases congestion on the road.

So what do you think?  Should all driver's licenses be equal or no?

oh I dunno....I guess some of the rules for drivers that are under 18 are stupid...but the general idea behind it, that youngsters learn to drive gradually....is certainly good.

I still fail to the logic in this particular restriction in New Jersey though, your putting more cars on the road which causes more congestion, more young drivers, and more chance of an accident

The entire New Jersey system is stupid, but there are a lot of changes to be made if things were to run the way I want them to be.

Anything in particular?

Apparently they are pretty leinant on taking away provisional licenses.  My friend has two tickets and three accidents and hasn't lost it yet.  I'd be interested to know if anyone knows of this being enforced.  The only people I've known to get tickets for this are kids who don't even look 17

Woo-hoo halfway through my Provisional
