| 580110 | 2007-08-13 01:15:00 | No. 25. And how about the families of these idiots? See the sister of the latest dead teen wants to sue the police. As if its their fault. He should have just pulled over instead of taking off at 180k. Judging by the look of his family on TV last nite it's a good thing he has been taken out of the gene pool.. |

| 580111 | 2007-08-13 01:46:00 | No raise it to 110 - then there would be no car accidents.Yes there would - there would just be a lot MORE unlicenced drivers on the roads...:( | johcar (6283) | ||
| 580112 | 2007-08-13 02:17:00 | No. 25. You seem to possibly being serious here, so I must ask why you think this is a good idea? How are rural 20 somethings supposed to get to work? |

| 580113 | 2007-08-13 02:23:00 | I've seen some pretty scary driving committed by elderly people. For that matter, as far a judgement of speed and distance goes, old people lose every time... | Deane F (8204) | ||

Take a look at the insurance statistics. Its the under 25s that are the biggest problem. Work? Tough, mummy will have to drive them. |

| 580115 | 2007-08-13 02:40:00 | I got my licence as soon as I was 15... I am not a menace on the road... My parents actually pushed me to get it. I find there is nothing wrong with the age... it is the individual and thier maturity level as to how they act (resposibly or not)... Also, older people I have seen cause many accidents even thought they pass the 80+ test... :2cents: | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||

| 580117 | 2007-08-13 02:54:00 | Im the same as you David, got my full on my 17th birthday. And I don't think I am/was a dodgy driver...never got any tickets or had any incidents (unless you count wrapping the occasional paddock car around a tree an incident). :lol: But it comes down to the maturity of the individual. If someone is going to go out drinking and that type of thing their parents shouldn't allow them to get their licence until they are slightly more mature...IMO older (70s -80s drivers) are still a lot more dangerous than young hoons. Had a friend get clobbered by a 80 something gran going the wrong way around a roundabout. Wrote his car off, and broke one of his legs - she slammed right into the drivers door of his car, and wasn't going slow either. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 580118 | 2007-08-13 03:22:00 | The mum in me wants to say raise it to 18 as my son is almost 14 and not too far off getting his but ..... if i look back I thought I was responsible enough to drive at 15 so why not him. I think it has nothing to do with age as I have seen some shockers on the roads of all ages. Been driving for almost 15 years and have yet to have an accident. I do however think defensive driving lessons should be given to all drivers. I had driving lessons and they helped heaps. | never-u-mind (6500) | ||
| 580119 | 2007-08-13 03:25:00 | Forgot to mention the defencive driving course actually never-u-mind. I did it, and thought it was really good. It should be mandatory. |
