Rejected petition Make the legal driving age 16

Make the Legal age to drive a car 16 and make a age you can apply to get a provisional license around 14 and 9 months as most people already have an idea of how to drive by the age of 14 and if they can practice in a real vehicle at 14 they could be ready for a license by 16 years old

One of the many reasons is that it will save parents time in the morning and mid-day as they can get extra sleep and won’t have to disturb their midday plans.

Some parents will say something along the lines of “my child walks home from school”. That is a very unsafe statement as there are many kidnappings occurring and would you rather your child walk home in weathers such as rain, extreme heat, hail etc or be in a safe space and can lock their doors if someone tries to attack them?
