Ah yes, but would you need a car if there was a better bus service?
If you did have access to a car, you wouldn't NEED to have one as you would have taken a job that works around the fact you don't have a car.
Certainly, if you look at it from say, kicking the law off tomorrow, it would make loads of peoples' lives misery.
But, if the law had always been in place, you wouldn't think anything of it.
And the real beauty is that this CAN be brought in overnight with minimal effect. All you do is give an exemption to anyone under 25 who already has a full license and anyone who has had a provisional license for the last six months.
Everyone else, well, you gotta wait until your 25.
Sure, it won't immediately solve the problems it sets out to fix but it gives everyone time to adjust with public transport upscaling to cope with the forseen increase in demand.
And those who already rely on the car for work etc, well you're unaffected.
Sorted.
You know, I should run for PM...
