Should we raise the driving age in New Zealand?

Question

Driving age is currently 15 years of age in NZ. Ill choose a best answer.

Answer 1

I personally think they should rise it to 20 because your frontal lobe in your brain doesn't fully develop til then. Your frontal lobe helps your decision making. If you can not make decisions how can you drive a car!

Answer 2

I got my drivers license in NZ at 15.

Once you are 15 - you never believe it's too young, as you wait all your teenage years for it, it's never soon enough LOL.

.....Although being a parent now and my son also was in NZ at the time and got his license at 15 - I was SO nervous and worried about him being so young driving.. how could the government still have this 15 age limit still, after all transport has got alot worst, things in this world isn't as slow as it used to be !  ?

It's strange really.. for example I mean you can't look at p**n till you are 18; but can have s*x at 16 .....but yet you can have such adult responsibility and drive at 15.....

Answer 3

yes they should raise it.

BUT WHY IS THIS IN THE AUSTRALIA SECTION??

Answer 4

15 is a stupid age and is just asking for trouble.
