should age be reduced for driving licence

Yes, because there are teenagers out there that are more mature behind the wheel then some adults I know. Age does not matter, maturity does. • For today's students study related commuting needs, 16 to 18 year teens are authorised to drive non-geared, less than 100 cc two wheelres only, with the consent of parents/guardians. They will be authorised/upgraded to drive vehicles with gear on attaining 18 years, on subsequent appearing and clearing concerned tests by RTO. • Most of the roads inside the cities in India are already crowded with lot of vehicles. To add more woes, if all teenagers were given license, it would prompt more vehicles to go around the cities. This would add to more fuel consumption at the overall nation level and would also contribute to carbon emission and add to more pollution. Handling the vehicles is too risky at a younger age, as most of the teens would be fearless and would be speeding up, eventually causing more accidents. Its the age which would prompt them to be more adventours and will involve trying out more dangerous acts using vehicles, as they would be inspired by that which is shown in movies. Everything has certain age and after 18 any how one would be free to drive throughout their life time. Till then the teens can afford to use public transport or vehicles in schools or accompany their parents or elders, while they want to go out, which will be much safer and also contribute to a cleaner environment (less vehicles plying on road). • minors should not be granted driving license due to the following reasons: 1) high rates of accidents

2) no sense of responsibility amongst youngsters
3) no respect for traffic rules
4) rash
