Reply #18: I lived in a small town [View All]

[xmas74]

and practically had to get my license-the day after my 16th birthday (first day the license bureau was open). I drove to work, drove myself and my brother to school, etc.
OTOH-I dispatch for a living. I get calls every day about vehicle accidents that happened and some of them are deadly. Many of them are teens who want to show off and "be cool" in front of their friends.
I dont' know. I can understand both sides of the issue. Maybe all states need to go to a provisional license, where the teen can only have one other passenger in the vehicle with them (since, in my experience, most of the teen accidents happened when there were a group of teens in the car).
