At some point we all will have to look at what is absolutely necessary and what is not. If an individual has a legitimate reason for having a driver's license at an early age then it could be granted in that specific case. If a 16 year old lives far from the school they attend, has a loved one that is seriously ill, etc. it makes sense for them to drive. By limiting the number of drivers on the road through the method of raising the minimum age, car pooling, and more, we can improve our environment, cut down on maintenance of roadways, reduce dependance on foreign oil, improve commute times, safety, productivity, the overall economy and the overall standard of living for everyone in the U.S. and maybe beyond our borders. You may find out later that there is plenty of time left in life to sit in traffic anyway.

True. Maybe they should up it to 17, because it has been proven that teenage drivers aren't all that responisble. Just giving a 16 year old a car isn't the best thing to do. Yes, some will be good drivers, but sadly it's the bad ones and the ones that are irresponsible that mess it up for everyon else.

They raised it in kentucky here recently. I am under the cut off date, so I could've gotten my license well over a year ago. I just don't have a car yet. Or a job. And I don't really care. Driving isn't that great. Especially with gas prices the way they are. Who knows how much money you are saving right now.
