Abdul reckons 12 is a good age to start driving


The more experience you get, the better you work. This can be true for any part of life. Asking about which age drivers should be when they get a driving license I would, I would say 12 years old!

The reason I believe this is because I learned how to drive when I was at that age. I was driving in my hometown for several reasons the most important one was to transport my family. I was taking my brothers and sisters to and from schools, my mother to relatives' places or markets. Also, I was transporting myself to the places I used to be in. After I reached 18 I applied for a driving license and got it easily.

On the other hand, my closest friend didn't try to drive until he was 18. He applied for a driving license more than once because he couldn't pass. Also, he still has difficulties and had some accidents.

Over all, I think that learning anything, not just driving, from a younger age helps to get good results. Teaching youths to drive with acceptable reasons is a good idea in my opinion. I didn't get any tickets from police when I was driving under the legal age because I was doing that for my family, and in Saudi Arabia "It's Fine"!, police officers say.

  1. It seems that Saudi police in your city have quite a relaxed attitude towards young drivers, is that true for all of the country?

  3. Wow! I'm interested on Saudi police officers.
    I can't remember what i did on 12 years old. You were so young to learn driving a car. i think another reason that you family allowed you to learn to drive because they're trust you.
    I agree with you that learning things from young age can get good result.

  4. I like your idea. Just looking your headline, I felt a bit surprised, but it might be true. I suggest before young people get their licenses the police should ask them some question about the purpose of getting the license like yours.
