I think this is definitely a good choice. I am 22 years old with a lot of driving experience. I got my driving license since 18 years of age.

This will prevent inexperienced drivers from suddenly wanting to transport passengers even though they just recently obtained a driving license. There is a lot of work opportunities in the transport industry and I would highly appreciate this change so I can get qualified for transporting passengers.
