As far as everything that I have read this is still just a rumor for now but it they might try it after the elections because doing it now would result in a lot of loss votes.

To me, it sounds like a damn good idea.

I personally think that teens are turned loose on the roads with too little training and minimal practice time. These leads to higher accident rates and a higher fatality rate.

It seems that every day I read about some kid who died in a car accident in the newspaper. That's pretty sad.

I was almost one of these statistics when I was 16.

Teens just don't understand the consequences of their actions...and that those actions can hurt or kill another person. Driving is a right...NOT a privilege.

I hope the driving age is raised to 18. At least then, if something happens, the teen would be responsible as an adult for their actions.

Women aren't allowed to drive, no matter what age. Oh wait, you must be from a country where they allow it. Well, we can rule out the US, because driving laws there are set by the State, and you wouldn't be stupid enough to ask a question like that without specifying the state you live in.
