Well, Ontario has announced a change to legislation which will crack down even harder on young drivers. A CBC article helps explain it but the gist is zero tolerance for alcohol for drivers age 21 and under. The article is called, "Young drivers in Ont. to face stiffer rules".
The good news for young drivers appears in this CBC story, "Ontario withdraws passenger restriction on teenage drivers". The new restriction would have meant only one teen passenger for a driver 19 and under, however an online protest took place. Quote: "but it's the passenger restrictions that prompted 150,000 people to join an online protest". The government withdrew that part of the bill. Go there to read the rest.
As always, other provinces look to each other as to what works and what doesn't. So, we may see something similar in some other provinces down the road.
It's summer and motorcycle accidents are taking their toll. Slow down a bit. Your families will miss you otherwise.
Safe driving...
Cheers - Mike
