Rejected petition Make the legal age to start learning to drive a car 16

I want the government to change the legal age to start to learn how to drive a car from 17 to 16.

More details

I want them to do this as once people reach year 11 and as they get older and start looking at further education like college and apprenticeships they begin to get more mature and it will help people get to colleges further which could offer better education and experience
