# 14.

Good evening everybody,
As you know, you must be older than 18 to get a driving license. In my opinion, 18 is caused by the full age in Russia. When you achieve 14 in Russia, you get an incomplete criminal responsibility, if you commited a crime, you would get a partial punishment. At 16 you can drive a motorbike (after an exam). At 18 you get a full criminal responsibility and a right to drive a car. I'm interested, why you can drive a motorbike before the car: it's much more dangerous to drive a bike than to ride a car: motorcycles are faster and the driver is less protected by the vehicle - it's easier to be injured or die. However, the statistics (http://www.gibdd.ru/stat/), bikers get in an accidents less than car drivers and the damage is less on average. Maybe, that's one of the most important fact you need to be older and more responsible for your deed for driving a car.

  1. I think that another reason of the fact that age for driving a car is more than age of driving a bike is that driving a bike you can't harm a lot to other people if you are a bad driver, and a bad car driver can be very harmful and more dangerous than bike driver.
