Sharifa discusses the driving age in Oman


There's no doubt that a driving license is everyone's dream. The legal driving age differs from one country to another. Some countries allow their citizens to take the driving license at age 20 and others less than 20. If I want to talk about this affair, I have to conclude both proponents and opposers opinions.
Let's start with proponents. Frankly, more proponents are teenagers and people who are in their early 20s. Proponents consider that the legal driving age should be less than 18. They think it's important to get it at an early age because teenagers are depending on themselves and they want to feel their own privacy. On the other hand, opposers believe that the legal driving age should be at least 20. By and large, they say that teenagers are less responsible and most accidents occur by them. What's more, they say teenagers are reckless and don't think about the results.
The legal driving age is 18 in Oman. Actually,! it isn't easy to get a driving license in my country. You have to observe all driving rules and avoid any mistake even if it's very small. My brother sought to take the license more than three times but he couldn't. So, if you're thinking about taking a driving license in Oman, you have to work hard in the driving license. I'm with my country and I think age 18 is relevant to drive.

  6. It's very difficult to get licence in Germany as well, so I think I know what you mean. I also think 18 is a good age to start driving.
