Listening  Comprehension  8 Form II Term

                            What is the right age to start driving a car?

In the New Zealand children as young as 15 are allowed to get behind the wheel.

The reason for this is that many years ago young workers needed to be able to get farms where they worked.

Today, not many 15-year-olds work on farms but  the law has never changed.

In the USA the minimum driving age in most states is 16. Many people feel this is too young and should be raised a year at least.

In the UK you have to wait until you are 17 years old before  you are allowed to drive but some people still think this is too young.

Young drivers are considered to be inexperienced and dangerous. However, some parents say their children are safer driving than using public transport. So, is there a right age to start driving?

What's the minimum driving age in your country?

Should it be changed?

Something  has to be done to reduce the number  of young people who are killed and injured on our roads. I believe that the driving age should be 18 so that new drivers are more mature. It will also mean that all drivers are adults in the eyes of the law.  Robert Hood, Philadelphia, USA.

 I agree that we need to do something to make our roads safer .

However, I believe that we need to improve the way we teach all new drivers, not just the young ones. The minimum age could be lowered to 16 but drivers would have to complete at least a year of lessons before taking their test and being allowed to drive alone.
