You young guys take stock 13 second cars for granted, but cars have never been as fast as they are today. They didn't handle as well either, which also slowed you down. Hitting a tree at 40 is better than hitting a tree at 75. Add that to these reasons.

With all due respect, bulls**t. They are not "innocent children". They are young adults driving 4000+pound death machines that in 98 out of every 100 cases they are incapable of driving. And stats always prove that young people & accidents go hand in hand, partly (probably a big part) due to inexperience, partly due to a stupid feeling of invincibility. Hell, just look at the wannabe street racer idiots. You can tell them until the earth explodes it is dangerous and stupid, but its always "hey, **** off, we're race car drivers". Right, and I'm the King of Siam.

I agree with the provisional license concept. The problem is how to enforce it. I'm not sure a sticker/marker is helpful, but there needs to be some way to keep kids honest while not simultaneously giving cops the legal to pull over any car with a kid driving just because he's a kid.

I agree. 100%
