I couldn’t agree more.

It’s high time we stop discriminating against elementary school aged kids. There’s no good reason why they shouldn’t be allowed to drive themselves to school, or to their after school job.

Stop ageism and enable independent transportation and employment for all ages!

I mean any 90 year old almost blind grandma/-pa is also allowed to drive so that is only fair.
