Subject: RE: former teen, wudchuck and Mr obvious...wake up
Mr Obvious, I got my license at 16 and promptly was in an accident. I didn't drive again, except to go to school, until I was about 18. You should do the same with your daughter.
My concer with increasing the driving age is that you now have 18 year olds, with even less supervision, teaching themselves how to drive. Keep the drving age at 16. Change the laws to make the parents of the drivers MUCH more responsible, financially and criminally, for their teen drivers. Force the responsibility.
