REVEALED: Drivers can take to the road aged 16 - if they are on benefits

Drivers who claim disability benefits can hit the road a year earlier than the general population, starting at just 16, a surprising policy revealed by The Mail on Sunday. This change has sparked debate on the fairness and implications of such a rule, especially considering the potential risks associated with younger drivers. The policy raises questions about how eligibility for benefits intersects with access to driving privileges, potentially affecting public safety and social equity.
