Death On The Roads

Sir, - In view of all the recent accidents and the record generally of young drivers, is it not time that the age limit for driving licences was increased?

After all, is it really necessary for all these young people to be so independent? How did the older generation manage when there were no money available to buy cars at such a young age? As well as reducing the number of accidents, it would reduce the volume of traffic on the roads. - Yours, etc.,
