The state of Texas recently raised the driving age from 16 to 18, not that it matters. Just tossing this in.

I suspect more states are rethinking the driving age. As was pointed out by a previous poster, age is irrelevant. People can be irresponsible at any age.

Now Texas will have virgin drivers entering their freshman year of college. I'm not sure this is going to solve anything. We'll have college age people with 2 less years driving experince.

I belive it all starts at birth WITH constant involvement by the parents. Now-a-days, we have the singular - parent. Just doesn't work.

My 2 cents.
