Being 18 doesn't necessarily help, either. I got hit by an 18 y/o back in December, totaled my car. Funny thing was, his insurance company was much easier to deal with than mine. I do think it's got a lot to do with maturity and drivers being distracted by their phones, I-Pods, talking to friends in the car, etc. Nobody's perfect, but the bad drivers are easier to spot than the good ones.

I'm not saying that maturity doesn't have anything to do with it, because it does (a lot to do with it as a matter of fact). I'm just saying that 16 year olds are still developing, and it would cut down on the number of accidents on the road. Btw, you have to be at least 18 years old to drive in Europe.

It's not just kids... Here in Illinois we had a middle aged woman kill another woman (just convicted) because she was painting her fingernails while driving. Missed a traffic signal and ended a life.
While I agree that the age to be licensed should go up, I don't think it's just kids who are ignorant. I can't count on two hands the ammount of adults who I see reading the paper, applying make-up, texting (all ages) and so on and so forth.

that sucks but you can't blame all teenagers for this mistake.
It would be like me making a thread: "all 32 year olds shouldn't drive" because some dickhead crashed his car and almost killed someone |

I got into an accident when I was 16. Minor with no injuries but still, I wasn't ready to drive. Too much going on that I was intereste din seeing... got lost in the freedom and paid for it. I completely agree that the driving age should go up. At least to 18. Legal adult. Sucks to have to take the school bus when you're a senior but I went to school with a guy who, in sophmore year in 1994, got into an accident, was thrown from his car and ended up in a wheelchair paralyzed from the waist down with limited use of his hands and arms. Could've happend to anybody, sure. But he admitted to being reckless. Too young to drive and his irresponsibility changed his life forever. Anybody is capable of making a bad decision that has a terrible outcome. This story makes it worse due to the lack of sensitivity and sense of entitlement of the father and daughter. It's not justt hat teens are irresponsible but that these two are so insensitive to the whole situation. At least she got a new iPod and phone. Lord knows I'll sleep better tonight.
