Why do you think that?

Because I think the road is dangerous place to be. I think we all accept that drivers should understand the road rules, have a license to drive, and should be more than 16-17 to do it.

I think its weird that we would let children of any age, with no knowledge of road rules ride a bike around in traffic.

In my small city, it's legal for kids to ride bikes on the footpaths, but in most of Australia its is not. I think its backwards.

I don't think the risk to yourself is the reason why operating a motor vehicle is a licensed activity.
