Driving license, minimum age 21 years
The Department for Transport has given its opinion on whether driving can be achieved at the earliest at age 21 and is possible before it becomes too dangerous.
One of the biggest goals of children who have just become Adult is that of get a driver's license. This pink document gives a certain independence for young people and for this reason they can't wait to achieve it 18 years in order to be able to take the driving license exams. However, it seems the 18-year-old's only thought now will be to get her degree.
Actually it is Government considered Increase the minimum limit for obtaining a driver's licenselet him pass from 18 to 21 years old. This drastic change would really be a revolution for us who are used to getting a driver's license at 18 years old. However, it seems that this decision is being dictated Road safety.
Many accidents are caused by very young people, novice drivers who have no experience driving their car. Shifting the minimum age to 21 would guarantee this Decrease in more or less serious traffic accidents. L'ETSC (European Road Safety Council) agrees that raising the age for obtaining a driving license would improve road safety.
Despite the fact that the government is seriously considering it and the idea has been approved by the ETSC, many have caused a reaction controversy around. The driver's license has always been acquired at the age of 18, so it will be difficult to change this rule. However, it is good to make one thing clear: this reform concerns only a certain type of license.

The most common goal we all strive for is this Driving license Bwhich allows us to lead the automobile. Instead, the driver's license is taken into account in the 21-year debate C. The latter is practical when driving TRUCKThat means Transport vehicles.
There Transport Committee of the European Parliament commented on the age limit after which one must be allowed to drive a truck. The latter explains this It is true that this is possible from the age of 18. A limit that has called into question the road safety of every user and that has also prompted the ETSC to express its opinion.

18 is too early
In EuropeAlone five countries They allow an 18 year old to drive a truck and they are: Finland, Spain, Germany, Ireland And Poland. Despite the data recorded in Germany, Poland And Finland demonstrate that this can be achieved more accidents Since trucks are children's, we want to continue to stick to the 18-year limit for the C driver's license.
The ETSC strongly disagrees with this age limit and acknowledges that the age limit should be set for greater safety on our roads 21 years.
