I love driving if I was under 30 years of age no way I would go for this.

"Applications for young drivers to give up their licence for €25,000 opened on Tuesday morning, with Transport Malta running the scheme on a first-come, first-served basis.

Young people aged up to 30 are eligible. Applicants will surrender their driving licence for five years, in exchange for a €5,000 grant every year for those five years.

Details on the Transport Malta website note that the scheme has a total budget of €5 million, meaning a maximum of 200 young drivers will be giving up their driving licences. "

That is a lot of money for someone under 30. I would not go for it but I can see some people be willing to give up their driving license for the money.
