Novice and learner drivers have many different restrictions imposed on them that unrestricted drivers do not. The purpose of the GLP was to reduce crashes/injuries/deaths for untrained drivers by imposing restrictions that helped do just that. As someone who says that they are not in favour of impaired drivers, why not remove alcohol, one of the major demonstrated contibuting factors, from the inexperienced and untrained drivers? I'm sure that BC research has shown that even limited consumption of alcohol by such a driver is not a positive thing. The other countries that have similar GLPs found that and they also decided to do the same thing. I'm trying to figure why it seems that you are trying to get the law changed so that novice drivers with BAC up to .05mg% should be permitted to drive, when you say..."Please keep in mind, I do NOT endorse drinking and driving by anyone"...
