I agree with graduated driving privileges. The impetuousness, nervousness, and impression of your average teenager makes driving a responsibility that should be taken seriously and approached carefully. Judging my own life mistakes, 80% of my traffic violations occured between 16 - 18. Yes some teenagers are responsible drivers, but the majority are not, and are an insurance headache for both parents, and other drivers. They are every bit as dangerous as drivers over the age of 60. Let them "apprentice" under adult supervision for a little while. Besides, those two years go by, fairly quickly anyway.

Because YOU were reckless as a teenager should NOT mean the driving privileges should be raised. People in their 20's can be just as reckless so should we only give drivers licenses to 30 year olds?

Yes, it does!!! Most of these kids, esp. in georgia, are not ready to be behind the wheel. Most of the people who are **** in accidents are teens. What does that tell you!??! If they don't raise the age, then it should be required for them to have some type of training.
