Rejected petition Make the legal driving age to 16 like other countries.

16 year olds should be trusted to drive a car and motor cycles upto 125cc

More details

Other countries do it and they seem to have no issues that cause problems around the country. Its unfair people should wait so long to drive, 16 year olds deserve to be able to drive a car as they start to have more responsibilities and know the real world more. Year 11 leavers need to find work and they need cars/motorcycles to get there
