Raising the driving age
A campaign has been started to effectively raise the legal driving age from 17 to 18.
This is good news for all concerned but certain to be met with protests by all 16 and 17 year olds currently confined to taking the bus.
The pros of the policy change include lower insurance premiums for all and fewer deaths and accidents.
The only party to lose out are those above mentioned teenagers but luckily for the MP's who support this change, these kids are not of voting age. Therefore a win-win situation arises and it will not be long for this policy change to come into effect.

I think you might find some parents a bit upset about this as well. One of the great things about having a youngster that is of legal driving age is that they can often help transport other children in the family.

Very true. Especially parents who are unable to drive due to disabilities.
