I got my license at 16 and was lucky.
My son got his at 16 and totaled two cars and his back.
my daughter got her license at 18,had two wrecks due only to her inexperience.At age 22 minus two days a truck ran her down and
killed her.
The huge increase in traffic in my small town makes it so risky for
a new driver to survive.I have only one grandson and I plan to lobby
for a huge delay in his application for a driving license.

ABSOLUTELY!
We homeschool. 2 great kids, very responsible, also able to discern truth from lies and right from wrong.

As for the only unavoidable accidents being deer and falling limbs, oh how I wish that were true!

I've been rear-ended 5 times, sure wish I could figure a way of avoiding them, but the only solution is to stay home. Hard to get the boss to sign the paycheck.
Of the 5 hits, the worst one was from a man in his 40's.
Still, I agree with most of what's been said about young drivers, and rode with mine a lot longer than most folks around here.
