Should Underage Teenagers Be Allowed To Drive?

Nowadays underage teenagers are commonly seen driving cars and bikes recklessly. Although it is not allowed by law teenagers openly perform this action and get away with it. According to me underage teenagers shouldn’t be allowed at all to drive any sort of vehicle. Driving is a task that needs expertise and skillfulness, which teenager’s lack. An inexperienced driver is a danger to himself as well as the people around him.
Teenagers particularly underage i.e. below 18 years of age are immature and careless. So allowing them to drive is a huge risk, at this young age they seldom think of consequences before performing any task. Driving in general seems like a harmless and safe thing but it is such a critical process that a small mistake often results in huge and irreparable damage. Even the most experienced drivers sometimes face accidents so it is extremely risky to let the youth who are not even permitted by law to drive, operate a vehicle.
Some people may say that in the increasingly developing and fast paced world we live in today, driving is necessary in order to keep up with the race. Others may say that it is not necessary that everyone is same why should all the youth suffer because of a few rebellious ones. But seeing it from a logical point of view it is not justifiable that one cannot keep up without a car, infect not everyone can even afford a car. One can easily survive and progress without owning or driving a car this concept that that driving is necessary in order to keep up is totally baseless. 
Letting young teens drive is a huge risk and is not worth taking. It can easily be explained by the phrase “It is better to be safe than sorry”. It is better to wait a few years and drive after being legally allowed to then to rush things and end up doing permanent damage.
