Yeah, sure. I guess it doesn't matter that they can't see over the steering wheel!
I'd have to disagree with you about the permit age.
I will agree with you that it's not too early to start talking to youngsters about the rules of the road. So when it's time to learn, it's not all brand new information for them. |

We have a comedian in the house! That is probably the funniest driving age suggestion I have ever heard. Thanks for the points anyway. |

I think that a flat driving age is inappropriate. Some children are responsible enough to drive at a younger age, and should be able to prove their ability through grades and independent certification, the same should be true of alcohol consumption. However, 10 years olds are probably too short to drive. |

This is a joke, right? Kids can't handle the responsibilty of a car! People need to stop doing stupid things on the road and stick to the law and less crashes would happen |

Funeral directors will have to gear up for a sudden increase in business, oiy would help find jobs for un employed undertakers. It will solve crowding issue in a lot of schools. It will also mean less 14-15 year olds kids looking for summer jobs.
Yes, a lot could be said about driving at 10 years old. |

At ten years old, they should be watching and learning from the adults as they drive. This is all the education they need at that age. The problem is that they are not getting it. Then later they take a class and cram for the test - just like in high school. As soon as they pass the test, they forget almost everything on it - just like in high school.
Ten year olds don't have enough sense of responsibility. A lot of 18 year olds don't either.
My thought: learn earlier, learn well, drive later. |

You have 18 to 60 year olds who can't drive and you want to teach 10 year olds? |

What a stupid question.
You wasted time thinking of this one.
It doesn't even deserve any other answer |

I havent read any posts, or your post for that matter, but 17 years is a compromise as it is, some drivers at that age still cant drive! |

I think people in the Us have it good. think of other countries where kids can't drive til their 18..
Belgium is like that... Kids can Drink ( alcohol ) at age 16 But can't drive til 18...
Go figure !!
I like the age now at 15/16 for kids. Still you have kids who aren't knowledgeable about the road even at that age.
Kids can not handle the ins and outs of driving a car, knowing how it works, and being quick about situations. Their minds are not that mature. |

You have to be kidding! Do you really believe what you are saying? thank the powers that be that you never get your own way. How would you like your kids on a school bus driven by a 17 year old? |

Your average 10 year old (or even 16 year old) does not have the responsibility concept well enough inplace to be let loose with over a tonne of metal. Even those who learn to drive go-carts or other vehicles on a private road or course should not be allowed to drive on the road in the general traffic at that age. The perception of closing speeds etc. is still developing (many studies have been done & it is a fact that children have a more difficult time judging speed than adults even for crossing the road & thus many are hit 'cos they thought the gap was enough when it was not).
Then there is the problem of responsibility. To drive a car you need to be old enough to realise you are responsible for your actions & the consequences are there for the rest of your life. This also beings a legal problem since all drivers are tried as adults (in the event of an accident).
Whatever age people start driving there is a 'fresh out of the box' age. It is better to be on the safer side than to be sorry after the event. just talk to the insurance companies. they know that the younger the driver the higher the risk, hence the premiums.
I say all this even though I started driving long before I was 10 - on private property. |

ummm... i don't think the number of crashes would go down... i think the number of sixteen-year-old-piloted crashes would go down... but then they would be killed in car crashes all the time at a young age (and besides we had to wait until 16/18 why shouldn't they have to?) |

I think that a driver should be allowed to drive as soon as they can work hard enough to appreciate the privilege of being able to afford their own vehicle, gas and insurance. (not from a trust fund or parents money either.) On the other side of the asker's coin there are way too many people driving without having to earn the privilege besides taking a few classes in high school and being spoiled by their folks. |

As funny as this is and sounds ...I agree whole-heartedly. : )
Hey, I mean if you could master a different language, learn the piano, and learn to ride bike with more ease when you're younger then why not! Everything gets harder to learn when you're older.
Interesting question by the way lol. : ) |
