McGuinty Government Proposes New Rules For Novice Drivers And Tougher Laws For Drinking And Suspended Drivers. Overall this means that it will take 36 months for a new driver to obtain a license. G1 drivers will have to wait 12 to 18 months before they can attempt to get their G2's. G2 drivers are only allowed 1 person in the car. No one will be allowed to drink in the car unless they are 21 years and older. This new law would restrict teenagers from carpooling; carpooling is a way to help lower the air pollution from cars. With this new law, it will add more teenage drivers to the roads. Also the first time you are caught speeding, you get you license suspended for 30 days, the second time 90 and the third you get it suspended and it is demoted to G1 license. This is not just unfair but also prejudice. Teenage drivers are not the only people that speed. So sign the petition if you think this new law is unfair. What use is it to have designated drivers if they can only drive one person, with the TTC or cabs as the only alternative

We just hit one thousand signatures and McGuinty needs to stop ignoring the blatant targeting of young people. This momentum proves that we refuse to be pushed around by bureaucrats who have no idea how we actually live.

This is ridiculous. 3 years just to get a full license is insane when people have jobs and school to get to. Get a grip.

if i cant drive my friends home safely then what is the point of being a designated driver? this just forces more people to take risks.

30 days for speeding is way too harsh for a first offence. people make mistakes when they are learning. this is just a cash grab.

How am i supposed to get to work if i cant drive my friends? gas is already too expensive to drive alone every single day.

TOTAL B.S. targeting teens like we are the only ones on the road who speed. maybe focus on the people actually causing accidents and texting while driving.
