The legal age for driving in India is 18 and above. But what I think is that driving license shouldn't be given to people on the basis of age but on the basis of how they drive by checking their driving skills. Some people can drive good at the age of 14 but can't get a license whereas some people who are 18 plus drive rash on the road. Moreover, in countries like Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Australia and America have 15 plus as the legal driving age. Also, bad drivers on road tell us how corrupted our system is, because bribing is the only way bad drivers can pass the strict driving tests. In India, 1 out of every 10 people who drive vehicles are underage and are anyways going to drive no matter if they have a license or not. Why cant the procedure be just like it is in every other country? Conduct strict tests, both practical and theory. Give permits to those who the instructor/Test conductor thinks is mature and can drive on the streets of India. If not a permanent license, the underage drivers should atleast be provided with a learners license at the age of 16 and above. As per the current law, People over the age of 16 years get a learners license and that also for a not-more-than-50cc gearless vehicle. What is the point of this learners license? Hardly any vehicle comes under 50cc range. So,speaking on the behalf of every Indian teenager, people who are 16 and above should be given the chance of appearing for the driving license test, and if they pass it, they should be provided with a learner's license. Please look forward to it.

I think 90% of the teenagers will agree to this petition. It's just that all of us need to stand and speak for our right. After all, all of us know that India is a democratic country and we as citizens have the right of freedom of expression and speech. Hats off to you guys for raising this topic and building up confidence in us. I appreciate this a lot . Good work. let's just cross our fingers and hope for the best . ☺
YES I AGREE, THE AUTHORITY OF THIS COUNTRY SHOULD GIVE ATLEAST LEARNERS LICENSE TO THE CITIZENS AGED 16 AND ABOVE.
Please allow children like us to drive. We know how to drive and could drive well than all that bad people with low driving skills who pass the license test by giving bribes. If not a proper licence, then a learner licence should be provided, which permits us to drive cars.
I think that the teenagers starting at 14 are being responsible and know rules and regulations which has to be maintained so i herby request for change in the age of driving licence...
Totally, there are many who can drive safe and according to the rules but are underage whereas people who have the licence can be seen driving rashly...something needs to be done about it period.
Why isn't this viral yet? These petition needs more recognition and it's worth it. Whoever thought of this is a genius,and had balls big enough to take this step. Make it happen guys, it'll be in favour of everyone.
Hats off to you people! I've thinking of this from so long but never managed to take such a step. I completely agree with it. This should be done and india does need a change now. America, canada, europe all are developing but indian is behind. Same case with marijuana. America legalised it in 21 states because they know the medical reasons behind it. Why can't india do the same? We have the right to speech, to expression, to speak what we feel like and get changes in the govt. again, hats off to you people who made this petition.

Well said lads! I am 44 and a father of 2 teenage children. Both are 17 and 15 respectively and are so fond of driving that my elder son took the car out for a spin without asking anyone! later, i got to know about it but i never scolded him, rather, i started giving him some lessons on driving and now he drives everyday with me. These people who have published this petition have done a great job. Others just keep talking but these lads are making it work! Hats off buddies :) I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH ALL OF THIS CONTENT, ATLEAST PEOPLE ABOVE 16 *who are mature enough* SHOULD BE GIVEN THE LEARNER'S LICENSE after conducting some serious tests, both practical and theory. Lets Make it work people, lets do it.
