Well the biggest problem is people need to learn how to drive at some point. I don't see how raising the driving age, to the point where people are working and going to college is going to help that. It might just make things worse. What we need is a system like Germany......one of the hardest tests in the world.
I failed mine first time because of the f***ing parallel parking, even though I was doing maneuvers that were much higher in difficulty in my own driveway. Threading through two or three cars and parking in front of the garage on a hill and turning is not easy. We never see parallel parking anymore other than in the cities so where is the value of that skill? I would put the test scores on actual driving and signals and etc more than the damn parallel parking part. I didn't hit anything when I did it and he claimed I crossed the double yellow line when I did it. There was no way I was going to not cross it. WTF. The guy was an a-hole anyway. End rant.
