The people who suffer the most are the ones who get hurt or who even lose their lives due to an inexperienced or over-zealous driver on the road.

The law enforcement officials find it difficult to enforce the discipline on the road especially when it comes to the young drivers.

The number people who prefer that the teenagers should be forced to have much more training before they really jump to driving a vehicle is really increasing. This does not mean that the teenagers cannot drive well. Unfortunately not all teenagers can drive safely. The fact is that the brain goes under a kind of rewiring during the teenage which on one hand makes the teenagers able to multitask but on the other hand it also makes them vulnerable to indecisiveness. Secondly, the new rush of adrenalin during the teenage days, instills a false sense of confidence and a zeal to out perform the peers. These factors combine to make the unskilled drivers highly dangerous on the road.

The consensus amongst all the people we talked to, was that the teenagers should be allowed to drive but they should be required to practice much more than what the law currently requires. The young people would drive the world forward tomorrow. They can definitely drive a car.
