P plate changes will prevent teenagers carpooling and will impose a massive new liability on responsible P platers who would otherwise choose to be a designated driver or take the keys from a drunk mate, likely leading to an increase in drink-driving. The midnight curfew also risks leaving vulnerable teenagers stranded if they get lost or held up, especially since Adelaide has minimal public transport after 12. This will also have a disproportionate impact on lower SES families and communities who share vehicles, and students who houseshare and carpool.
