With parenting there's a continuum where you give them zero freedom at zero years to quite a bit of freedom at age 18. I suppose DL's should be no different.
I think we have a similar law here that was enacted after a string of accidents that killed several teenagers.

One of them was near my old house where a group of four girls launched a boyfriends Jag XJS 12cyl off a steep hill @ +120 mph and smacked a tree killing all four girls. That was followed by a Ford Taurus and three girls that did not yield for an oak tree @ 100 mph killing two of the girls (sisters) and the driver walked away. Another happend a month latter that killed a would be brain surgeon when he crashed his Lotus graduation present into a tree. It shook my little community up big time.

When my daughter gets to HS age there is no way in hell I will let her ride with other children, its a shame that all of the love and devotion is trashed by a stupid kid showing off if laws like that save one teenagers life its worth it.
