lower the number of points before you loose, sure.
raise the driving age? uhuh. there would still be iresponsible, inexperienced drivers on the road, theyd just all be 18...
by the way, i was 18 when i got my license, and ive managed to wreck my car twice and get a ticket. so the age you can finally drive at is irrelevant.... |
Looks like you'll be walking under the PH system.

If traffic is such a problem in large cities, why doesn't the government do something about all the marginal drivers? While they're at it, why not raise the driving age too, maybe 18 or 20? |
Because many Americanskis consider it their constitutional right to drive.  |
I checked. It's in the fine print.

I thought "the large print giveth and the fine print taketh away..."

That isn't true Froggie..... Countless studies have shown the most dangerous drivers out there today are the super young and the super old. Why do you thing sub 25 year old drives pay that much more in auto insurance?
