Driving

Well most teenagers like to show off and aren't mature enough to start driving at that age but there are some that are mature so it is fine.

I believe there's a new law in California that states you have to be 18 to obtain your license. In my opinion...16 is definitely too young. I have to say that there's ALWAYS the acception to the rule so I'm sure there are the very responsible teens out there who are knowledgable and realize that there are serious consequences for driving carelessly/wrecklessly. It's not worth the risk though...better safe than sorry. I rather know that kids have to wait to be 18 and feel a bit of relief and know that there are some disappointed teens out there instead of knowing the teens are happy but the roads aren't as safe. HOWEVER...Don't get me wrong...I do realize that HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS of adults drive wrecklessly and carelessly on a daily basis...it's not something that's age related ONLY...but age can definitely play a part in the maturity of a driver and their outlook on the way they drive and how their driving will effect themselves and others.

Hi there ahrdwrkr! I don't think mentally they are ready for driving around when they are 16, i think it should be brought in that they are at least 18. They get on the road and think they are invinsible!

Yes... It depends from person to person...Aneewayz... Thank you so much for your question... Its really nice to be here at mylot.... Are you guys here for money or just for fun.... I am really curious to know...

Some people shouldn't drive at any age!! I'm dreading the day my children turn 16.

In Canada They Get There G1 Which Means They Need Someone To Drive With Them Who has Been Driving Aleast 4 Years Not Till There 17 Can They Drive Alone

I don't really think so. Not that there are some 16yr olds that can't be responsible because they can. But at that age, you're so happy to feel that freedom that you get when you drive, you tend to forget or just ignore being responsible.

ya as i am a teenager and my age is 15 and i can druive bikes so i need license of it so i vote for 16 age shud be promoted for license

yes in todays it is all ready

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! My daughter is 16 and wants to drive but I know she is not ready. My son is 17 (almost 18) and he DOESN'T WANT to drive becasue he admits he is not ready and feels he should wait.

Just my two cents on this issue. I am 17 and have been driving since I was 16 and I definitely think I was ready. However it always depends on the person, not always the age. Discriminating against all teenage drivers is not the way to go just because a handful are immature and drive recklessly. Perhaps the MVA should have a harder test for all new drivers?

When I was 16 I thought so, but now that I have teenagers of my own I would say it depends on the maturity and responsibility level if they are ready to drive or not. I know in my state they are really pushing to make the legal driving age 18.
