G'day
As of today here in New South Wales before a learner driver can go for
their driver's licence they have to have 120 hours of driver training
(up from 50). Then once they get their licence there is a complete ban
on using a mobile phone in any way (it's illegal to talk on a mobile
handset here while driving but okay if it's handsfree) and if under 25
only one passenger between 11pm and 5am.
There is also a new law banning smoking in pubs and clubs.
Having lost friends and family to driving stupidity and lung cancer I
welcome the new laws but think they don't go far enough.
