i'm gonna have to partially side with frosty on this. All because some teenagers do dumb **** doesn't we all do. We get prejudiced and singled out by cops anyway when they see a teenager driver. Its like having a target on your back. Isn't this letting stereotyping go abit far? I mean yeah i've seen some dumb ass mofos on the road but 50% of the time its also somebody old, (not tryin to be racist, just speaking from experience) an indian or asian person, or these god damn idiots in minivans that think side view mirrors are an automotive vestigial structure. How come they're not gonna come out with tags for senior citizens; their reaction time, eyesight, hearing, motor skills all get worse the older they get yet i don't see them being stereotyped?

I agree teens do dumb ****, but a tag isnt gonna stop someone from being an ignorant driver, its just going to give a cop another reason to harass someone. you wanna stop teen accidents, maybe they should get a better driving test and stricter requirements, instead of the one we have now that a 5 year old can pass with enough effort. there are alot of accidents because people that should never be behind the wheel of a car get their licenses without much effort. people fail the test 4-5 times, finally pass it, and in a year are driving on their own. wtf? makes you feel safe eh?

rant over.

and before neone jumps in with the whole cops are saints argument. I'm not sayin i have anything but respect for law enforcement officers. Most of the times i've been pulled over i've shown, and been shown nothing but respect. there are ones out there though that see a teenager as a target and i've had those once or twice.
