Young drivers to be banned from driving at night?

many countries have limits to new drivers under a certain age to drive at night without a more experienced driver's supervision.
Banning night driving will not help young drivers getting used to drive in a dark light conditions. It was harder for me to start driving at night when I had no practice before, even when I was already an experienced driver. I was banned from night driving because of my vision, when my vision improved I applied for a change in my licence and had to do a during test again.... with no practice…had to do the lessons on my own expense and no real limited on minimum lessons... so it was not enough practice really... I can imaging how bad it'd be for a 20+ year old with 3 years of experience driving in daylight to drive at night for the first time ...

I think you misunderstand the purpose of a night driving ban. It is not to ban driving during the hours of darkness but to ban driving during the hours where most irresponsible and dangerous driving by young people takes place.

If you look at my earlier postings, you will see that I am not relating the hours of a curfew to physical night. I think it is wholly improbable that young drivers would be banned from driving 4-7 PM during a winter evening. As I say above, I would suggest a curfew from 9PM to 5AM.

I think a key consideration for any government will be permitting hospital/care home and similar shift working whilst making any form of "night out" driving unattractive. It will affect restaurant/bar and some retail workers but most such shifts for young people will finish at a time when shared taxis are likely to be available and in some cases parents will give lifts. I think the greater concern for Government will be early morning shifts where other transport options will be more limited.

Therefore the point you make about lack of driving experience during physical night is not relevant.

Taxi drivers are by far some of the worst drivers on the road.I doubt having more taxis would make the situation better.

For the mileage driven in principally urban environments, taxi drivers are very safe drivers. They may upset other drivers by their driving behaviours at times but they are involved in very few accidents per mile.

You don't have to be involved in the accident to be the cause of an accident.Only last night I saw a taxi driver perform a 3 point turn in the middle of heavy traffic because he was going the wrong way.

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.

We have police to enforce the law on the road.

Increasingly, we don't. Traffic police have been drastically cut back across the UK.
