Closed Reduce the legal driving age to 16

Closed on

We want the government to allow 16 year old to drive cars themselves. They are mature enough to drive cars and it will help them to become independent

This is because this issue hasn’t really been reviewed before but we want the 16 years olds to become independent and allow them to travel freely. They’re allowed to go abroad on their own once 16 what’s wrong with them being able to drive of course after passing their driving.
