why not this?

There is something called learners license which is given only at the age of 16 and a driving license which is given after u cross 18. This learning and driving license are catogorised on the basis of cubic capacity of the vehicle.
when a child wearing a school uniform is seen on a bike, say exceeding 100 cc, is it not explicit that the child is violating the laws? Children wearing uniforms are seen roaming on 100 cc bikes and scooteretes and sometimes even more than that. I dont understand why does traffic police not catch them , even after observing them riding bikes which they are legally not supposed to drive ..When they are not in uniform, that can be considered a different issue for now..
Even the school authority, on one side teaching them to abide by the rules and be a good citizen and blaa blaa... in subjects like social studies and moral science, they dont care when it comes to practicality. When they can see that the student is below sixteen and still he is using the school parking area to park his zoom.. dhoom.. bike next to a teacher's poor bajaj scooter, then why do they over see that and do not take any action or say even a word regarding the same. Can we assume that their mouths are stuffed with enough donation that words are choked there in and do not come out. Or all the ethics and morals they preach in class are just for preaching and not following?
Have we ever thought that the solutions to BIG BIG problems are always small and simple...we see and read that poverty and unemployment are cramping india by its feet..and there is some problem called global warming according to our geologists and environmentalists we are facing and will face big time in near future..the rising prices of fuel and there by inflation that our dearest finanace minister is worried of...only by making these children use bicycles and public buses as a mode to commute for their tutions, schools and leisure roaming, how much fuel we can save and how much pollution can be avoided?
i know quite a small effort but isnt it worth doing? These small efforts right from the consumer ie: we citizens, can help and alleviate the troubles we have.
