They should do the same as they do for motobikes.
I had to ride a restricted motorbike for 2 years.
People should be restricted to 1000cc cars for a year or two.

and the age for kids to ride scooters and mopeds. They are just too immature at 16. I live next to a high school and each year we see the amount of scooters go up through the year. I have lost count of the amount of times they have just missed me as they are scooting around the corner, they let all there mates have goes, try to do wheelies and think it is funny to pretend to run over their mates. I really think that it should also be 18.

I just read recently, on the internet, that a persons brain still isn't totally developed at 16, which is why there are so many accidents in that age range. I would say at least 18.

I know I am a teen,and if the age does change then it would affect me but I think it should change for the better,some teens today like boy racers are too dangerous to have on teh roads,maybe they can mature by the age of 18,but we'll never know if not given the chance.

Without a doubt YESSSSSSSS.
And i'm way above 18 and do not drive, but there is too much crime with these silly teens and they just do not get punished hard enough in the courts. Also stealing them for fun and racing on street of Brighton etc. yes do it.

Why not make it 25 worldwide? And maybe 30 for the drinking age. And if anyone is caught drinking and driving, they lose their license until 35 yrs old! Very few would risk breaking the law then!

i dont think so, i dont think that 18 should be the lagal age for driving anywhere. the reason behinf this veiw is that 18 is when people start to go off to college. some of them have late birthdays so they will be taking the driving test while in college. unless you are born in january, february, and march really you are going to have to be speedy gonzalez through learning to drive. 16 is hard enough with thinking about colleges.

No. I think this because people will start driving illegaly. I think that it should stay when you pass your test. However I think you need to have courses after you've passed to make sure. And I think that if your've been caught speeding there licence should be taken away. And this is coming from a 16 year old.

NO because theres alot more older drivers who are worse drivers then young people are as we have more more people living longer.
I also think that people should retake their driving test 15 - 20 years after being on the road, because they are not likely to have bad habits such as tail gating, which is one of the main reason why we have so many accidents.

No one should be allowed to drive in the UK! It's f'ing ridiculous! It's like demolition derby, you feel the need to drive 50 mph EVERYWHERE and go in random ******* circles to make a goddamn turn!
