Last week in the Arizona State Senate Transportation committee passed SB 1347 out of committee on vote of 4-1. The single "no" vote was from Senator Gorman. SB 1347 is the "Teenage Driver Safety Act". This bill if passed will prohibit teenage drivers from driving late at night and with a car load of other teenagers. Arizona is one of 5 states that have not already put such restrictions on teenage driver. Studies have already showed the effectiveness of these programs in other states.
When given a chance to explain her vote, Sen Gorman argued that this bill would basically make group dating for teenagers illegal and she believes in group dating.
This is a very weak argument. If the teenagers want to go on group dates then let's get the parents involved and have them drive. There is also public transportation and what about separate cars.
I'm sorry public and teen safety is more important than dating.
