    Nah, I reckon they should keep the legal driving age at sixteen (I am in Australia, I am not sure where you are) as it is better and we have the system of L drivers and P drivers, going through about 3-5 years. Also, they shouldn't make the driving age and drinking age too close together as if someone can get their liscense and is allowed to drink... they would probably want to do both!

    She is incorrect. There are no longer any plans for this. If after consultation the government desperate to flow forward there might purely approximately surely could be new rules. observe of a bill might then in keeping with risk acquire interior the Queens speech on the state commencing up of parliament. The bill might the could bypass by using the two properties of parliament (assuming the Lords are nonetheless there). additionally Passage of a bill requiring amateur drivers to have held a provisional licence for one 12 months earlier taking a attempt could be no longer susceptible to acquire an person-friendly passage.

    That's not right! The Government needs to stop making changes to laws & keep them the same! I will admit some need to be changed. But laws like public smoking boxes is not right. I hated when I lived in Ogden Utah because if you have anything on your front lawn you get a ticket. I got one for letting my lawnmower sit for about 10 minutes so I can eat lunch. I wasn't even done with my lawn either. That's just stupid & not right! So I moved away from there to Idaho. -Mr.Richey

    16 is fine, making it 21 is stupid because your a legal adult at age 18. This is suppose to be the land of the free not the land of restrictions.

    MY thoughts are as follows:

    Regardless of age, there will always be dumbasses who don't know how to drive. Find a way to weed out the morons, rather than giving people their license right when they're more likely than ever to be drinking, and perhaps we'll see a decrease in automotive accidents.
