Closed Lower the legal age to start driving from 17 to 15

Closed on

Currently the legal age people in the uk can begin driving is 17 I would like this to be lowered to 15

Teenagers crave independence and driving is an important milestone that allows teenagers to transition from childhood into adulthood independently. Having access to a drivers license means that your child can get from point A to point B alone,and this is of major importance to most teenagers.
