OYL should oppose proposed youth driving law

As someone who only has a G1, I do admit I would not actually be affected much by this new idea, but I still believe that this is the type of legislation that the OYL should be against, even if it is proposed by a Liberal government. Chris Selley wrote this in the Macleans blog:

"19-through-21-year-olds are not “older children.” They are “adults,” and the government should restrict their freedoms, if at all, with the same caution as any other adults’ freedoms."

It will be interesting seeing how youth position themselves around this issue as it develops.
