i am 18 years old and i completely disagree i think its absolutely stupid and i dont think anybody in the government even thought before they suggested this...
its one of those things that might solve one probelm but is really causing 10 more problems....or more problems than the way the law was before...
im so pissed about this whole thing becuase of a stupid little group of irresponsible teens ruin it for all

i'll agree with the no alcohol in the blood level but everything else i disagree with. only one passenger is stupid because then all these kids out there are just gonna drive their own car and traffic is just gonna get worst and more pollution this is just my two cents

Here we have upper crust Bourgeoisie shakers 'n movers with considerably more political clout (due to elevated social status) demanding action when only their own are harmed / killed. Proponents using the argument of high incidence to justify imposing these new laws are essentially demonstrating the biased partiality that their reasons stem from. 
Just another example of how money rules this world

like i completly agree on the zero blood alcohol level...ive had many people i know be affected by drinking and driving. so im 100% on that but the new speeding rule? and limits on how many people in the car? i think thats way out of line...like i dont have too too much to worry about because im 20 but still it affects everyone in a way..

I'm 30 years old and I absolutely disagree with this law.
1 out of 4 idiots getting a car from their parents was hard enough at that age, especially to go on an overnight road trip.
Forget the safety and environment issues. The government is not here to tell force you to act responsibly.
You are not in jail, and you have parents.
i ****ing hate this ****. the government forcing everyone into submission more and more and time goes by.
if you can vote for your government, get a mortgage, or die for your country, you should have all the rights as the rest of us idiots.
If I could smash anyone in the face with a brick today and not be charged with assault, it would be McGuinty.

i dont understand this government
**** happens in life...there will always be murders, there will always be drinking and driving there will always be sexual molestations despite any law made to deter it from happening...its a part of life
i bet if they made a new law... caught drinking and driving u get the death penalty...i bet there will STILL be drinking and driving...
but instead of people pulling over nd taking the fines and license suspensions people are gonna start running from the police, while drunk causing more damage... does anyone see my point? i think they should juss keep enforcing the laws as they are...if that one guy gets away wit it, get him later

why make a different set of rules for a defined group of people in a population? I don't know about everyone else here, but isn't that discrimination?
I don't see why you should put limitations on a certain age group that have passed the same test to receive the same priviledges as someone who's 30; nor do i understand the need to categorize speeding by age....is speeding 30km/h over the limit when you're 19 any different than speeding 30km/h over the limit when you're 43? I don't see how their proposed legislation can be justified logically

because at age 19 you're an idiot compared to when you are 25..
this is assuming you're able to live life and learn from stupidity.
i'd rather be a cat that's let out of the house and live shorter than be locked up in an apartment building my whole long boring life

and i'm sure you are one of them.
that doesn't change the fact that almost all humans will see themselves as immature and a taker of risks when they were 19 at age 25.
it doesn't matter though. people learn through experience, you can't learn life through a book.
that's when you end up with a bunch of idiot following around an irrelevant book of the past and looking to it for all their answers.
life is about experience. not about safety and shelter.

ok let me get this straight...the only problem i have about this law is the part about the limit of teenagers in the car... drinking and driving is stupid and hopefully eventually itll slow down
