Yes, it is fair. A driver's license is a privilege, not a right. |

Wow, wait your right, your a special case, lets change the way its been done for oh ever. You should be allowed to drive right now, or perhaps when you were 13 cause your that special. |

I personally think they need to make kids wait till there 18yr when your 16yr you have NO business driving..
1: You want to show your friends look at me, your to busy talking and laughing to fully watch the road and bahm your in a accident.
2: Kids take the privelage and ruin it
3: A car should be treated like a weapon it can kill at any second and kids think that doesnt happen to them watch me attitude. |

Considering that over 40,000 people die every year in the US in traffic accidents, I think it is fair. As a matter of fact, I think it should be much tougher to get a license. |

6 months seems perfectly fine. But I'm pretty sure that it varies state to state. 3 months to me seems kinda short. |

You must be under 18 or else you would not be concerned about this. It is fair because those under 18 are involved in car accidents at a much higher rate than the rest of the population as a whole. A lot of states are moving the driving age up to 17, which I think is a VERY GOOD idea...so if you're 16 or 15, consider yourself privilaged and DON'T do anything that will get you killed. |

If you still think life should be or could be fair you should have to wait another year at least to mature. |

Why should it be 3 months or less? Driving is a privilege, not a right. When you get that permit, you're just starting to drive, you're a beginner! It's not smart to let a beginner have all sorts of driver privileges. |

Yes, it is totally fair. You need to be an experienced driver before you get a license. Think of all the people who could be hurt or killed by an inexperienced driver. |

I suppose it depends on your age. If your 21, it may be shorter, but in our state, if you get the permit at 15, you have to wait until you finish the behind the wheel, and be 16 years of age. |

It's totally fair... that time is meant for you to practise.
I think people should be re-tested every ten years or so... it's very easy to develop bad/unsafe driving habits.
Don't worry... you'll be driving by summer!! |

i think it is somewhat fair...i believe people should be 18 to start driving...the brain at 16 is way under developed. the adult brain is more experienced and cautious at 18. |

Absolutely. It's a safety regulation, to insure that you had plenty of time to learn the concepts of driving a car and the rules of the road, before you get your license.
Unfortunately, even after 6 months, some people should've never been issued a license. |

no its fair and i think it should be longer because a lot of teenagers who get their license early (16 years old) mostly care about getting away from parents and doing dumb things and getting themselves killed. |

I'm going to presume that you are referring to the new standards that say a teen-aged person applying for a driver's license the first time, must hold their instructional permit for at least 6 months prior to obtaining a full license without restrictions. In answer to your questions, yes it is fair and no it shouldn't be 3 months or less.
3 years ago, I chose to become an over-the-road truck driver which required me to get a commercial driver's license. I was required to take the written test to get the instructional permit. I was required to hold my instructional permit for up to 3 months prior to taking the driving test. After taking the driving test, I was required to be on 6 months probation with our insurance carrier to prove I was capable of handling a large, commercial vehicle. Keep in mind that I had over 25 years driving experience prior to testing for my commercial driver's license.
I can tell you without a doubt that there are still situations -- even after almost 30 years of driving -- where I could get into a great deal of trouble very quickly. You are, more than likely, a gung-ho teen-ager who thinks you are ready for the open road without restrictions. Slow down and use the opportunity that you have been given to gain experience while driving because you will need every second of that experience when you are turned loose on your own. |

you need time driving with your parents to make sure you know what you're doing, here you have to have 40 hours, but I guess if they keep the required 40 hrs and allowed you to get your license in 3 months, it would be the same, unless you & your parents lie about how much you've driven, that's what a lot of my friends have done |

NOOO! You should all be 21 years old, if it was possible. Remember one thing, driving is a privilege, not a right! You should have gone thru driver's ED? I know you think it is going to be forever, but i promise you it isn't. Hope you have some parents with GOOD INS. |

Be thankful it's not a year. It is in some states. Or wait until you're 18 and you won't have to wait. |

It should be 18 years old. There would be alot less accidents if there weren't 16 year old drivers on the road. |
