Ontario Restricts Teen Drivers

The Guardian reported a new law about to go in effect in Ontario, Canada. The law restricts the number of teenage passengers that teenage drivers can take with them to one. That means no more carpooling with three or more friends, and worse, not being able to take siblings.

This legislation has already acquired a big teenage opposition. They claim that this new law is hurting their freedom, that it's an age discrimination, and that they passed their test like everyone else and should not be different from other drivers.

Both sides of this argument have a valid point, and only the application of this law will show how necessary it is. However, I support the teenagers in their fight. Teenage driving is restricted enough, and taking the right to drive with friends is a big hit on drivers.

Good luck, Ontario teens,
