Rejected petition Change the UK’s legal driving age to 16.

At 16 a typical young adult is filled with responsibility, there is no reason as to why we shouldn’t be allowed to drive at 16. Age is only a number and has nothing to do with driving, this is why tests are in place. If a person is 16 and passes their test, why shouldn’t they be allowed to drive?
