When my kids turned 16, they acquired their driving licenses back in my home country. That is the legal driving age. They are both careful, cautious drivers and I trust them with my vehicle.

But in my country, driving laws are enforced properly - consistently - fairly. And penalties include having your license revoked.

Until Qatar implements similar road policing, then the answer is a resounding "NO WAY!!".

And it's not just the teenagers. I have seen adults exhibiting dangerous driving on the roads around Doha, with their laughing teenager sitting beside them. So who do you think teenagers in Qatar are going learn from?
