I think it would be a real shame for them to raise it because I've been looking forward to taking my learner's exam the whole year. Waiting an extra year won't do anything , it'll just delay what's gonna eventually happen. It's not like people are gonna be training the whole year , and they can't drive legally withought their learner's license to start with.

Teenagers mature at different rates which for some happens at an early age, aking them a liable driver. Based on averages, the only thing that needs to be changed is the length of time a licence should be in possession of a learners and restricted licences.

I would like to recieve my liscence in both countries and I do not belive that it is fair to raise the driving age when most of the accidents do not involve persons of this age category and are often alcohol related. The best thing to do is to make the enforce more laws about the sales of alcoholic beverages and to make them less available (i.e only sell in liscebced liquer stores). As I said the accidents have little to do with teenagers.

The other laws to go with this law will make a difference, apart from the learners licence to 1 year instead of 6 months rule. When you are learning to drive it doesn't matter what age you are. You could be fifteen or twenty five, you will learn the road rules the same and have exactly the same driving experience when on the road. Increasing the age one year won't make a difference because it's not the age that matters.

It would be stupid to raise the licence because people at the age of 17-18 are graduating school and will be going to college so they atleast need there restricted licence so they can drive themselves around because they will not be with their parents so they can not rely on them to come in the car with them so they can drive somewhere. Therefore i think changing the law is the wrong decision.

Leaving it an extra year would be great for myself and others of my age who I know have spent lots of time preparing and would hate to see the age change now.

I personally consider myself more mature than a lot of 20 year olds why should i suffer?
