California Law requires that the first six months that you have your license, you can't drive anyone under 20 years old unless you are also with your parents. Curfew for the first year is no driving from 12 am. to 5 am.

I got my license July 1st 2005, meaning six months would be Jan. 1st 2006 (today). So instead of being able to drive people around legally today, a new law goes into effect that extends that restriction 6 months or until I'm 18 (May, this year) and changes the curfew to 11pm to 5am. I'm not so much upset about the driving people around restriction, more about the curfew. I get off work at 11-12 at night, the poker games I go to end past 11, and other general things I do at night usually go past 11.

Stupid CA... I'm sick of all the rules.

 

welcome to the nanny state.

 

cameron the curfew is only in effect for cruising. If u are leaving work, school, etc u just say ur on ur way home and u were here and they shouldnt do anything. I dont think the new rules should affect u since they dont me.

 

hmm you should say you grandfathered into the new law.. and that way they dont mess with you..

 

That's what I was gonna say. Dont U get in under a "Grandfather" clause, or sunthin?

Is the law written as "6-months," or, "180-days"? If it's the latter, 180 calendar days from 1 Jul is, LITERALLY 27Dec (go ahead, count 'em, I'll wait...) If it's 6 months thenm your "sentence" was UP effective 31Dec, making you a free man effective 00:00:01 1 Jan, unless, of course, the extension started 31Dec, in which case YOU'RE HOSED!!! Got any relatives in AZ, WA, NM? Move there for a month and get a new license. Move back and you've got something like 6 months before you're legally required to obtain a CA license, unless they changed THAT law, too, since I lived there two+ decades ago...

 

Just get there before 11, and don't go home until 5

 

You should try the UK... More CCTV cameras than the US, (when considering we have only 60 million peeps, and a **** load less land. Apparently one guy took a journey from manchester, to London, and was only off camera sfor approximately 6 minutes, over a journey of around 250 miles... Talk about Big brother!), digital numberplate reading cameras that read, and log where every car has been, and gone. gatso speed cameras, speed bumps, stupiod fuel prices, as car drivers are evil, the list goes on. You can't drive here until 17 as well. Plus cars are damned expensive, insurance companies bend you over, and rape you, all with the permission of the government. It sucks...

 

Illinois has that stupid POS law too. that and other stuff i really dont pay much attention too.

 

Cameron, i don't think the new law applies to you, since you got your license 6 months ago.
Suggest you check with the DMV.

 

just suck it up, theres nutin u can do and its not that bad
