Driving age should be 16/17 because college is a bugger to get to without a car for most people and if you decide not to go to college you have a job to get to and most jobs require transport...

once you're out of full time education no matter your birthdate you should be allowed to learn in my opinion.

There is a lot of contemplation to night kerphews (sp?) aswell now and the amount of theory you have to do before you can drive.

I know that the driving age in Florida is 16 and let's face it, the roads in Florida are massive, the cars are much more powerfull (the Taxi's are all V8's lol) and if they can all do it why can't we? Our roads are easier to drive on an we have poxy little 1 litre cars which most people start out in anyway! So 16 should be the age limit.

I think ths is a Hard one as if the driving age was 16 the insurance would be Way over the top due to boy racers and stuff

However, the insurance is huge at 17 which is why u see most 17 year olds driving crappy old cars but i think 17 - 18 is a good age for driving.

I think the age should be 18, 16 years old is practically kids driving to school. That would cause problems as some 'immature' children could easily do something silly and dangerous in school hours.

17 most people are busy, some will still be in school after the new age rule and its adding more danger to the roads.

18 is practiacally adult. People know more about dangers and have maybe grown up a little.

17 isn't exactly 'kids driving to school' as it's sixth form or college if any education..

I can start learning soon, and get my first car at 16 !

I drive to school everyday. I wrecked my mom's car at 16 and it really smartened me up a lot about driving. Driving isn't all about how fast you can go, and doing ticks. I go as fast as I feel nesessary and I drive my car like it should be driven.
