How are laws made?

On Friday Year 6 had some very tough decisions to make.

Having found out how a bill becomes an Act of Parliament and a law of the land, Year 6 set about discussing, drafting and creating new potential laws.
We looked at whether the following were 'good' or 'bad' laws:
1) That Cyclists should not be allowed on the road during peak times.
2) That the use of SAT NAVS should be banned whils the car is in motion
3) That electric lights should be switched off between the hours of 10am and 2pm.

Can you think of the pros and cons to these laws? Do you think that any could become Acts of Parliament?
