Starting July 1, 16 and a half year old teens in Israel will be able to start driving lessons, and take a driving test at 16-and-9-months. However, there is a price to pay here: parents will have to accompany their children for six months instead of three.
According to the Road Safety Authority, this will help reduce accidents. However, I seriously doubt this assumption. New drivers are vulnerable due to lack of experience, and that can happen in any age. That's why insurance premiums go down with the years, not up.
I hope this law won't hurt more than it tries to help, like this kind of laws usually do.
