Young drivers to be banned from driving at night?

Ban alcohol, ban sport drinks, ban knives, ban acid, ban self-defence, ban porn and now this? Britain will soon be known as the snowflake country that pretty much bans everything

I am indeed unaware, a quick Google search and I can't find any country which prohibits young drivers (Under the age of 25) from driving at night. All developed countries don't have silly bans like these, either ban anyone under 25 from driving entirely or let them drive as they please. This law in my opinion is just age discrimination.
And apart from some states in America, those bans I listed don't exist there and for those some states the only ban that comes into effect is the knife ban.

I certainly do not think to ban alcohol or pornography are by any stretch of imagination sensible,

Call me a snowflake for saying it, but I am not very partial to being attacked with a knife or acid by an over-stimulated thug. Do you deny that these are problems that require attention, or are you keen that the thugs' victims are only seen as minor collateral damage in the pursuit of laudable individualism?

Have they been banned? Are bans proposed?

Or, perhaps, are politicians merely struggling to keep them out of the reach of children?

Oh no. You've discovered that some leading countries are behind us? Better drop our standards then, we wouldn't want to be better.

Like to see how this will be enforced

simply unfair on the people that need acid and knives for genuine reasons like household tasks.

I own many knives (and some alkali and acid) for use in household tasks. That will not change and I will be able to replenish my stocks when necessary.

It really depends how the ban is put into practise, if you have to be over a certain age to buy those things then fair enough, but banning them entirely is what I cannot accept

I know this won't be popular, but I don't think young guys should be allowed to drive until they are over 21 and probably 25 or something like that. They are the absolutely worst drivers on the roads without doubt, the most prone to crashing and the most likely to cause death or serious injury to others and themselves. Anyone driving for a while will see incredible miscalculation, outrageous speeding and overconfidence and contempt for other drivers are all a standard feature for many young males in charge of vehicles.

It is enforced in my state [Virginia]. If you are on a 'learner's permit', you cannot drive at night, and must have a licensed driver with you in the front seat when you are driving. That driver must be 21 or over. You can get a learner's permit if you are 15 yrs + 6 months old. You must have written permission from one parent if you are under 18 yrs of age. If you are under 18, you must have satisfactorily completed a state-approved driver education program [this is often taught in public school]. If you are under 18, you can carry only one passenger under 21, unless accompanied by a fully licensed adult in the passenger seat.

This is outright stupid, it's like the Government just want to shift the blame all the time. Instead of punishing young drivers, how about actually enforce the traffic laws? Just yesterday my dad was driving on the M1 and 3 lanes closed, but that didn't stop around 20 cars and lorries still using those closed lanes, yet not a single one of those drivers was under 25 (at least from what I could tell).

And they forget people have jobs to go to, they think everybody works a 9-5 shift but stores magically stay open 24/7. It's beyond ridiculous. And I usually drive home from Uni from 9-10pm, so by introducing this stupid law they'll be directly impacting the younger generations' education.

Young kids driving around is a fairly common sight in my part of town. One can call the cops, at which point you get a weary sigh and "oh. we'll send someone" in a tone suggesting nothing much will happen.
