Do you think that the age limit should be raised up to 18 or is 15 good enough to get a permit?

As a 14 year old.... there's no way in hell I should be allowed to drive 5 months from now.

A lot of people on the roads over those age can't seem to drive properly >.>

If they understand the goddamn rules of the road, why not?

Plenty of people learn to drive at that age and they do just fine, so I don't see why not. I suppose it depends on the parent though, like mine didn't let me start driving until I was about seventeen.

You can get a permit at 15?

In my state you can get it at 14

Honestly idk. In my situation I was always at least a year younger then most of my class (of 2015). So driving at the age of 15 would be weird, but then again a good amount of kids in my class probably had their license at 16.

Part of me says "yes" because of the multiple times I've been almost hit by an idiot, but at the same time I want to say "no" because learning things at the age may make you a better driver than most old people.

tbf in australia the safest drivers on our roads are l-platers

Doesn't matter, people who suck at driving are a variety of ages. Gotta start sometime.

Lmao that's so true. P-platers are the worse drivers here.

In Finland you need to be 18 and still they do bring more danger then anyone else. There might be people who can drive well and safe at age of 15 or 16, but many can not.

I think... some other rule should be applied rather than just your age. I don't think a 30 year old with a problem of some sort should be as qualified as a responsible 15 year old that knows everything there is to know about driving.

I don't see an issue

Meh
Cars are overrated anyway
(Jk)

no change needed.

things would be much more annoying for people with after school activities if nobody below the age of 18 could drive

If at that age you're mature enough to be riding a car, why not?

But still it's not allowed at that age.

My sister started driving at 15. Probably because I live in a small town, so no one really cares.

no don't change it

NO!!!!!!!

In America, car wrecks are the #1 cause of death for teenagers.

In America, although it varies between states, the legal driving age is normally 16.


Absolutely. ****ing. Not.

I don't drive at nor do I plan to, and I'm 17, so I'll leave my opinion out. I personally, even at this age, would not trust myself to.

Just as a side note, I used to live somewhere and the law was getting permit at 18 and license at 21, and most drivers sucked.

Please no please no I'm afraid I rather not have it an year early the age of 18 I'm afraid of harming myself and someone else.

There's 14 year olds learning to drive around here
I'm not joking
This place is so small that stuff like this happens
And its completely normal.
I even have a snow mobile of my own for around winter when its too much snow to drive in car/truck. While in the summer I have myself a fourwheeler.

No matter what we say, if the government decide to change it they will.

cars are cool

no **** the youth
