Lower the age to ride a 125cc bike on the road from 17 to 16
Change the age needed to ride a 125cc bike to 16 to allow for 16 year olds who have just finished their exams to have more freedom and doesn’t have to be reliant on other people to get to work and school.
So that 16 year olds can get to work/school with confidence. A 50cc bike has little to no power which gives the rider an almost scared feeling that The bike can’t even keep up with traffic and is too slow to get from place to place effectively. Making it so a 16 year old can ride a 125cc won’t only make them feel better and more comfortable, it’ll make them feel safer and make roads safer for the bike riders due to the venerability of bikers.
