i think that these laws are fair enuf becoz the reality of it is that when a bunch of teenagers get into a car, they encourage the driver 2 do stupid things ie speed, run the red, etc. and most of these things happen late at nite...becoz teenagers think that no cops r around so they wont get busted for doin 160km/h on a back road or goin sideways around a roundabout!
truth is, its probably one of the smartest things that the govt has ever thought of. its just that they havent thought of the practicality of it all. i mean, yes they've covered ppl working at nite...BUT what about ppl who live in newcastle or the central coast who wanna go clubbing in the city? they've cancelled the late nite trains...and if u can only have one other person in the car...it means u would have so many "designated drivers" or drunk drivers on the road it would be ridiculous...but these ppl could only come home after 6am unless they got their MUM to pick them up!!!
the law is fair enuf but they need to be more practical....
thats my 2cents worth
