minimum age for driving

i just figured out that in america people get to drive cars on the main road at 16.

also i figured out that you can drive a reliant robin or a 3 wheeled vehicle on the road here at 16 with a bike licence but to drive a proper car on the road in the uk you have to be 17 i think that you should be able to drive on the road with a small car like a mini or a road legal go-kart or a car with an engine around 1050cc which would make sence.

Well, in one state over in America you can drive at 14! I would not trust any 14 y/o to drive, I think thats too much responsability

i voted to raise the age, there are too many young irresponsible drivers who race around the streets causing crashes

I voted keep the same but I think that there should be a limit on the engine size.

I've voted to raise the age limit, but I also agree with Mary that the engine size should be restricted too.

I'm sick and tired of seeing 'boy racers' in cars that are way to powerful for them, driving at speeds that are more than double the speed limit

Either raise the age, or like Mary said, a limit on engine size would be a good idea!

I`m only having a small car. I love the Transits but I wont have one of those until I`m at least 20 but they have problems with them losing money, where as the land rovers keep thier money value!

Here we are not allowed to drive before the age of 18.

Most accidents happens, I think, by young (men) age 18-25.

I dont think lowing the age here would be a good choice.
