I agree that driver education is where it's at. It's FAR too easy to get a driver's license in the USA. A GOOD hands-on driver education course should be MANDATORY in schools, or you get no license. It should be required without exception, as insurance coverage is.

A slightly higher driving age probably wouldn't hurt--18 would make sense, so that you are legally an adult, and thus are fully responsible for the legal consequences of unsafe speeds, recklessness, drunken driving, etc.
