16 and 17 year old kids need to learn how to drive without the temptation of speeding,racing and other dangerous acts

That's NEVER going to happen.The temptation will always be there. Your statement assumes that the root cause for speeding, racing, etc. is based on OTHERS in the car?

Why don't we just wish it away?

You shouldn't post out of context,you should include the part about the skills needed.Yes,when a bunch of kids get together in a vehicle,things happen.Someone should post the article about the 16 and 17 year olds racing their BMW's and killing someone.Young people need to learn with adults in the seat next to them.Maybe 18 should be the starting age to drive.

No, it's not. But peer pressure plays a major role.

The only time I was ever pulled over, I was alone in the car, and trying to set a personal record in my dad's Crown Vic. :)
