What is the reason for this rule! Just asking as someone I know can't get a job they want because of this law.
Are the roads more dangerous at 11pm and 4am than 9pm and 6am! The only reason I can think of is the increased risk of driver fatigue, however if someone works night shifts they are more likely to be tired during the day.

There are exemptions available for legitimate reasons, such as employment hours.

Tiredness Teen's being the most common learner/restricted drivers, like to get on the booze between those hours Night driving is very different to day driving & most of our driving is in the day time. etc etc

Possibly because the restricted is for teens to learn to drive on not to go out having a cruise. Learn to drive during the day, take the bus out at night, get a full licence.

OP, the rule is to prevent kids killing themselves, by posing to their mates by driving round dangerously in the wee small hours.
There are exemptions, one must apply for them.

The no passengers rule should take care of that.

yeah restricted is predominately in the hands of teens. the rule is there to ensure they are keeping safe, considering the majority of teens who have their ticket are going to parties etc. its not really in place for the adult learner but the rule does apply to all and as said above, there ar exemptions.
