Report Abuse. Children under 16 shouldn't be able to drive because theyhaven't quite learned responsibility. I'm not saying 15 or 14 year olds are irresponsible, but what that means is that asa 16 year old, you've matured more, and can generally handle that kind of responsibility.eport Abuse. 16 year olds have enough problems with driving. 14 year olds would only be worse. Besides, I can only assume that that would make insurance rates even higher for 14 year olds. In addition, 14 year olds aren't mature enough yet.
