Break from Tech

Posted on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 12:21 PM by tim Announced on November 16th, 2008, new laws will be introduced into the legislature regarding driving laws and teenagers under the age of 21. Anyone with any driving experience is familiar with the current graduated licensing system, and the restrictions they entail. G1 drivers need fully licensed driver with them, a zero blood alchol level, etc. G2 drivers must have a blood alcohol level of zero, and in the first 6 months of their G2, they can only have one passenger after midnight. Speeding tickets apply as they would to any licensed driver (demerit points, fines, and whatnot). Annoying, but fair I suppose. Apparently though, these laws are not enough. What does this new legislation consist of? See the article below for the full story, but here's a general summary: --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. A new "zero-tolerance" policy will be instituted regarding speeding. This means that any driver under the age of 21 (whether they have a G1, G2, or a full G license) will lose their license if they are caught speeding. No questions asked. ANY speeding results in complete loss of license on the spot. Whether it be 10 km/h over the speed limit or 50 km/h, we can kiss our license goodbye. 2. Same idea as above with the "zero-tolerance", but this one is in regards to drinking. NO ONE under the age of 21 will be allowed to drive with ANY amount of alcohol in their system. If they are found to have the slightest bit of alcohol in their blood, their license is pulled. Just like that. Gone. The G license no longer allows you to have a blood alcohol level of 0.05. Blood alcohol must be ZERO at all times, or you run the risk of losing your license. 3. This one might be the worst. It involves G2 drivers. At NO point is ANY G2 driver allowed to have more than ONE passenger under the age of 19 in their car. At any time. One friend, max. Thinkin of packing a car full of friends like usual? Forget it. They'll take your license. This is taken from the facebook group in protest to the new laws. Join the Facebook Group In the next provincial election, its clear, don't vote Liberal.

October Statistics

Posted on Saturday, November 1, 2008 09:19 PM by tim Nervesocket.com seems to be on a tend. Every other month we see a spike in activity only to be followed by a month of no activity. October was a month that had an average of 20-30 posts a day with the most on October 6th at 47 posts. The downside is we only had one new member for the month of October compared to September that had three. If our trends continue this year we can expect November to be a very slow month. I would rather break this trend considering its not really a good thing. Lets start with getting this website a real logo and hopefully release the new version soon. Tell your friends if you have any. View Topic | [3] Replies | Reply To This Topic |
