There is a reason for legal age limit
09.09.08 (4:20 pm) [edit]I was in the library looking through past Straitstimes and I came across this news regarding a 16yr old boy who died in an accident while driving. On one hand I felt sad for his family's loss, yet on another I felt that why did the child had to drive when he knew well enough he does not have the licence to do so. There is a line between 'what you can do' and 'what you may do'. The law legally benchmark the age of 18 to be able to apply for a licence and the age of 21 to be considered an adult, there are sure to be reasons why this is so, I don't question much and I believe it's fair enough. Being an adult means there are consequences you have to bear if things go wrong. Though sad but luckly no other victims were involved in the crash. I could imagine if I have a friend who died in an accident resulted because he/she was at fault, but if that driver had no licence, regardless who was at fault, I would definately blame the driver.
