I would like the government to change the legal driving age to 15 because I believe that 15 and 16 year olds can be trusted to drive and should be able to get a license. I think the current situation is unfair.

Reason

It can empower younger people and give them valuable life skills at an earlier age. The ability to drive can promote independence, autonomy and responsibility.
It's also worth looking at how Denmark compares to other countries with different age requirements. Some advocates can point to countries where a lower driving age has not resulted in significantly higher accident rates, suggesting that it can be done safely.
Lowering the driving age can have positive economic consequences because it makes it easier for younger people to participate in the workforce. Access to transportation can lead to increased job opportunities and financial independence.
Having a driver's license can be more crucial to accessing education, work and other opportunities. Proponents of lowering the driving license age argue that it can help young people in such areas become more independent and improve their quality of life.

Thank you for your support, Frederik Halskov from Lemming
