i agree stats don't lie... but they may mislead... i still say that kids will be just as bad at driving if they can't until there 18, it's all experience... i would suggest changing the law to you have to have a permit for 2 years and pass serious non standardized tests... ie, if you live in an area pron to snowfall you should have to pass a test in snowy conditions and have to have so many logged hours driving in these conditions, same goes for hilly terrain, and driving in traffic... it should all be adjusted according to where you live, i think this would make much safer drivers... BTW i also think you should have to pass both written and driving exams atleast every 10 years, this way everybody will stay up to date and we won't have any elderly people who should not be allowed behind the wheel making the roads unsafe. i also think they should make cars transmit a signal that disables the use of cell phones in a car when it is in any other gear than park... it's just not safe. yesterday i was driving home from work at 7am on the highway when i encounter what appears to be a drunk driver driving slow and wandering all over the road. when i finally pass then i look over to see a younger looking woman appearing to type a text message while driving on the highway, these people are gonna kill sombody or themselves...
