I agree, the sooner the better.
Sex ed is what makes children mature enough to have sex once they reach the age of doing it.
But what's the point of raising the age of consent?
My point is there isn't any if sex ed is done well, it only makes sex more taboo.
Conversely, if you want to raise it, maybe it's because sex ed wasn't done properly, making teens not able to be mature enough for an activity they are gonna do anyway.
For driving, I would agree in general we aren't good at driving, but changing our means of transport isn't easy, despite being the best solution. That wasn't really the topic though...
The post topic is "hot takes", so my "always curtail driving" position is technically on-topic for the larger thread. ;]
