    The law is like that because most people on their learners are 15/16 and still go to school. People (particularly people in school) are more tired between 10pm-6am.

    In addition to which, when the law re night-time restriction was brought in, TPTB erroneously assumed that most learners would be either schoolkids, or working, either way had already put in a full day and would be tired, therefore increasing their risk of crashing. People doing night shifts at that time were reasonably rare, and I believe could get an exemption due to their circumstances.
    Like a lot of the learner restrictions, this one does not suit all, and is probably past it's use-by date.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    If your male and under 30 your gonna get picked on by cops and ticketed for everything they can get away with, if not you'll most likely get let off with a warning.
