Oh I agree I think learners permits for driving at 16 are fine...as long as a licensed adult of 21 is in the car with the person. By prohibiting minors from driving alone or with loads of other minors in the car (such as highschool students) we wouldcut our auto accident rate by at least 30% and it would cut accidental teenage deaths by nearly 50%. I just dont think kids need to be out driving around on their own at that age..too many of them are too irresponsible and arrogant for the priveledge. (yes I know some of you teens are not irresponsible and arrogant)
