10 is plenty old enough to drive under supervision. We used to send people to war at 16. The idea of stopping people from driving until 18 is infantilisation.

- strken 1y agoThere's a big difference between driving a car around the farm at 20kmph to collect wood and flipping your dad's Volvo into a ditch. We were driving from a relatively young age, maybe 13 or 14, but only in a paddock and with some degree of adult supervision.
- muteh 1y agoRead your comment. Read the parent. Yeah, we used to kill kids. Personally I think we shouldn’t have.

- adrianN 1y agoWe also used to send children to work in the mines. That does not make it a good idea.
- capernaum 1y agoFor children working in the mines the choice was not between working or chilling in the mall. It was work or imminent death from starvation. So, yes, it was a good idea to work. It still is in less prosperous parts of the world.
