Are You F***ING Kidding Me?

I am so p.o'ed about the new restrictions on young drivers that state "...under the new rules, teens with newly minted G2 licences will have to deal with restrictions on how many young people can travel in the car with them" (http://www6.autonet.ca). Like that has to be the most ageist thing I have ever heard. First of all, my friends aren't a bunch of immature idiots (all the time) and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be distracting in the car. Second of all, the law says you have to follow this rule untill you are 21, yet it keeps mentioning "teens". Since when are 20 and 21 teenage years? They say we will only be allowed 1 passenger at a time. That's such b.s, I don't even want my G2 anymore... I might as well keep driving with my mom. Nobody I know has one friend. Plus, what if you're at a party and your friends are drunk and you're not and you need to drive them home so that they won't drive themselves... now you can't? Do they honestly think anyones going to actually listen to this... and even if it is serious, kids are just going to pile their friends in and tell them to duck or go in the trunk, like some already do.
