Allow 16 year olds to take Driving tests and Drive at the age of 16
The legal age to start driving and take driving lessons are at 17-18. My petition will be about allowing 16 year olds to take driving lessons and drive when they are 16 years old. Adding onto that, I believe that 15 year olds should be allowed to sit and monitor how a driving test/ lesson works
Theory test should be allowed to sit at the age of 15 years old. Adding onto this, I think that the Age limit to Supervise a learner driver should be 20-65.
This is because Older People would have less knowledge of newer rules and regulations that have been put in place. Cars are also now technologically more advanced.
This is also a better alternative to the “Allow 15 year olds to Drive” I belive that my petition is better as people would not be as mature as others while they are on the road….
