(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); My dad was telling me about the government talking about bringing the driving age limit down to 16.

It would be great if this happened, but there would be a lot more crashes, ect.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you think it will happen?

Don't see a point, it's 17 already. You can already walk, cycle, ride a moped (if you're 16), why not wait a year?

No 16 year olds do not need to drive for god sake, bad enough some people get to drive at 18 to be honest...

Actually, 16 years old.

We have states that permit 13 year olds to get a learners permit and then when they are 16, get their license.

U.S, North Dakota. It's not as bad as it seems, though. Not as many accidents, but that's probably because not a lot of people live over in this state :p.

Insurance would be off the scale, it's already hard for a 17/18 year old to get 'cheap' insurance.

Few tips

Get a old car.
Have a female as the main driver (Mum, her sister ect..)
Don't base your quotes on comparison websites, if you phone up insurance companies they'll be cheaper than online prices.
Pass plus will lower your insurance
