Anyone has any suggestions about this?
I still remember back when L only needs 6 months to get N and N can drive anyone you want to.  And now I heard L needs a year and half to get N and N can only drive their family members or something like that....sigh why is the restrictions being worse and worse.

Also I heard nowadays it's totally absolutely NO ALCOHOL at all in your body because before at least if you are class 5 a bottle of beer is fine but not over and now just half a bottle you'd be suspended for few days with car towed away.  Sigh.....

0.05 means 1 can of beer is already too much.. needless to say any wine will make you go over.

Ya but doesn't that suxx when people just want to celebrate and just maybe drink a can of beer and they can't even do that....

know why they've been making these so non-sense restrictions? (at least pretty non-sense to me) each year the L&N's restrictions change it's like taking 3.5years to be from L to a class 5 and that's a LONG time >.<"

cuz too many drunken drivers and immature drivers causing accidents?

for me, I had my knowledge test to get my L. Waited for a year to have a road test to get my N last year in Jan and waiting for 2 years (so next Jan) to have my class 5 road test. You can have non family member in your car for N drivers but there can only be one unless you have a qualified supervisor who is over age of 25 sitting next to the driver's seat

oh man...true...those drunken drivers who can't measure how much they can drink since they still need to drive home and immature drivers who only knows how to step on the gas and not knowing how to change lane or turn sigh.......I don't think the restrictions being this can change anything at all though >.<" it's so unfair to people who knows their limit with drinking and can drive cautious even if they have few beers.  Can't even have a home party nowadays to celebrate whatever since even half a can of beer is not acceptable.  People who know how to drive is taking the consequences from those immature drivers and we can't do anything about it because the governor makes the laws
Don't you agree that suxx?
