Regardless of the persons age, safe driving is more a matter of maturity and driving experience combined. A mature and personally responsible 16 y/o will typically be less risk on the highway than any irresponsible 18 y/o. I feel that state governments

CALIFORNIA:
In January '08 I heard that is the time a new law will be passed or something about changing the legal driving age to 18. If this is true that is wrong because if the legal working age is 16 it will be difficult to get to work for some

Yes it's true. In fact, most countries will not issue a driver's license if the person is still 16 or below 18. Legal working age in most countries is 18 and not 16 also. As 16yrs are considered to be still in school and not to work legally. I've found

Disabling drunken drivers

21.05.12

In the United States, some 10,000 people die in such accidents each year. It's the equivalent of a 9/11 attack every four months.

In recent decades, efforts to curb drunken driving have grown — raising the legal drinking age from 18 to 21, stepping up police enforcement, lowering permissible blood-alcohol levels and stiffening penalties.

Social norms have also evolved. Groups like Mothers Against Drunk Driving, founded by a woman whose daughter was killed by a chronic offender, have fostered greater awareness and intolerance of a practice that used to be joked about.

But changes like these can prevent only so many episodes of driving under the influence. Some people just refuse to reform, and as long as they have free access to four wheels, they remain a menace.

So 15 states use another remedy. They force everyone convicted of DUI to install an ignition interlock before they can regain driving privileges. More than 20 other states mandate these devices only for the most serious offenders.
