New drivers banned from driving in the dark

[superflid]

Apparently our caring government now wants to make new drivers less likeley to hurt themselves by stopping them from driving after dark! My son is just wondering how to get to work at 5am if it goes through.
Also on the list is restricting new drivers to less powerful cars(as if insurance prices didn't do that anyway), I wouldn't bet against this one, as bikers have had similar rules for yonks.
