Why Children Should and Should Not Be Allowed To Drive.

In this essay I am going to explain why children can and cannot be allowed to drive.

They can get better at driving. If they get older they would be an expert at driving when they are older. For example, if your child has netball practise or any kind of sport practise, their parents do not need to worry about dropping them off to the place. This is a perfect idea because the the child will be more useful and they won’t need to bother their parents anymore.

They can go to school earlier. Mum and dad have already left for work and there is no one to drop me off to school I can drive myself and I will not be late. If I need to see the teacher to catch up on some of my maths, writing etc, they can go early. So when they are older and in college they can drive themselves to school.  

Mum or dad do not need to worry about dropping their children to places. If we are going somewhere with our friends really early, we do not need to bother our parents if they are still sleeping. If our mum and dad are still sleeping and we need to wake them up, we can just drive yourself.  So we can get used to driving ourselves everywhere when we are older.

Those are the three reasons why children should be allowed to drive. Now I am going to explain why it is a bad idea for children to drive.

They could crash. If the child cannot see and him/her accidentally turn into a lane without checking if there is any cars in their blind spot, they could crash. If no one checked the mirrors on the side and the car is speeding behind you  and then you switch lanes and then the  car behind you will hit you from the back and you could have a serious accident. It is not a good idea for children to drive because they would crash and when they start driving when they are older they will be scarred with that memory.

They are too short to see over the steering wheel or to reach the pedals or see the mirrors on the side. If the kid cannot reach the steering wheel they cannot   be able to steer the car and then they will crash. The child hops into the car and tries to stir the car and then they will try but they just can not reach and end up crashing. So they will know to sleep more to grow taller.  It is against the law to be under 16 years of age and driving. Underage driving is illegal unless you are 16 or over. It will be a high chance of you going to jail or even ending up in court. So we can learn from our mistakes when we are older.

To conclude this essay, I believe that children should be allowed to drive because when they crash or make a mistake on the road, they can learn from their mistakes.
