It keeps getting stopped, although a thug who drives drugged and three other thugs who egged him on would not have been bothered by the law. My sympathies are with the families and I'm glad no one innocent was involved.
Unlike Graduated Driving Licenses in some jurisdictions, this doesn't suggest a ban on driving late at night though. The RAC Foundation thought that would make the proposal too controversial - can't prevent young people in rural areas driving to work.
