They're terrible ideas. Either people have the freedom to drive or they don't. The zero alcohol one is a good idea, perhaps, but driving machines around over crowded roads at up 70mph is going to cause accidents. Old people are terrible, and often rely on the reactions of younger drivers to avoid causing more accidents.

I don't agree that older drivers are more of a risk than young drivers. People rarely die because someone is going too slow, they die because someone wants to go faster and they take a risk. On the odd occasion that an old person is responsible for a serious accident it's all over the news. When a young driver is responsible it's put down to the irresponsibility of youth. It's a fact that young drivers are involved in, and responsible for, more accidents because unfortunately, you can't buy experience. A probationary period when engine sizes are limited is called for I think.

If they regulate the drivers at the beginning, the need to regulate the ones at the end to, but bad drivers will be bad drivers, regardless of age. |

Angus "No-Nonsense" Nairn was patrolling on a stretch of motorway with roadworks and a 40 mph restriction when he was overtaken by a BMW doing 85. When Angus gave chase, the BMW went up to 105 mph, still in the 40 limit. Eventually, the driver pulled over and, guess what, he was young (and foreign). Angus gave him a stern lecture, advising him that he was not capable of driving a BMW and should consider a Fiat or, maybe, a Fiesta ..... Subsequently, the case went to court because the offence was too serious for a ticket ..... |

Lessons on the motorway? Yeah let's just increase the chances of accidents BEFORE they pass.

I think admiral insurances 'little box' is a great idea, a couple of my daughters friends use them to keep their premiums down.
This may be incorporated into any new rules regarding new drivers , of any age?
