Just seen this story on MSN, it had me literally screaming at my laptop!!
A 12 year old girl has been banned from driving along with 7 others according to a latest report.
Quote from the report - "It is of great concern that youngsters not even eligible to hold a provisional licence are being banned at such young ages," said IAM chief executive Simon Best."
What are the parents doing about this? My youngest is 13 now, he is allowed to play outside naturally but i always know where he is. No doubt he will get in to a scrape or 2 along his teenage years as did i but nothing as serious as stealing a car and driving it at the age of 12 !!!!
Think its great that a 12 year old can be banned from driving before eligible to actually obtain said licence. What kind of deterrent is that?
IMHO - Fine the parents, make them responsible for their childs actions, how else is that child going to learn that at 12 you are not allowed to drive a car.
Beggars belief what kids are getting up to when the parents believe they are safe playing out !!
