The Stupidest Thing I've Ever Heard

Pig-headed Girl is learning to drive.  Things are a lot different now than when Himself and I got our license some 30 years ago.  First of all, it's called a G1 and not a Beginners or 365, pronounced Three Sixty-Five, so called because it was valid for, can you guess, 1 year. 

Back when "Hungry Like the Wolf" was liable to be cranked from the the car radio (Top 40 AM please), you could drive anywhere at any time as long as you were with a driver who had a license.  That meant you could go on the 401 at 3 in the morning with your girlfriend who only got her license the day before yesterday. If you were a farm kid and had been driving a tractor since you were 14, you could get your license the day after you passed your written test.  Farm kids were the envy us all.

Now it's all changed.

She can't drive on the 401 without a licensed driving instructor which means we can't practise with her because we're not, you know, licensed driving instructors.  She can't drive between midnight and 6 anywhere and the driver with her has to have had their license for at least 5 years.

Under the new laws, the licensed driver must have 0.00 thingys of alchol in their blood. 0.00.  So that means that if we've had a glass of wine while out at dinner, Pig-headed Girl who has not had a drop because she's only 16 cannot drive us home.  One of us, the ones who've had a drink or two must drive. 

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
