What are your drivers age limits and what do you want to see done about it?
Also, the US wants to up the drivers limits from 16 to 18, and I plan to go to collage in Boston mass ( a distance away).
So i am not happy about the age upping in drivers licenses.
Any thoughts or comments, please reply.

Here in Finland the age limit is 18 years, teens from 15 years up can drive a vehicle that is incapable of a velocity higher than 50 km/h. Such vehicles that look like a car but have a very small engine and electronically limited top speed, are becoming popular among teenagers now.
I fully agree with the Finnish legislation, and would not like to see these age limits lowered, because of the high statistical chance of young drivers killing themselves and their friends in traffic accidents.

16, Which I think is about right.. But I also believe that the age of majority should be sixteen.. which is the standard in most other countries.

i believe 16 is too young for it so i agree to moving the age limit to 18. 18 is more mature and are capable of what he is doing than 16 years old..

I agree. It's a little bit strange when you see 15-year-old driving a car. |

The driving age should be increased to 21, but the drinking age should be reduced to 18.

I think that 16 years of age is about right when it comes to licensing drivers (as is the case in most of the USA). And given how we don't have as much public transit as places in the rest of the world, I don't think that increasing the driving age over here in the US does a lot of good.

For those who are younger than 18:
Supervised driving only. The supervising driver must be your parent, legal guardian, spouse, a professional driving instructor or another licensed driver who is at least 25 years old and has a valid California drivers license.
No cell phones. You are not allowed to use communication devices of any sort, neither hand held nor hands-free.
If your phone rings, you have to stop, observing all traffic rules, park the car, switch off the engine and then you can answer the call. No texting is allowed either.
As an exception, you can make an emergency call to contact law enforcement, a health care provider or the fire department should such need arise.
The provisional license restrictions are applicable for the first 12 months after it was issued.
Curfew. Although you are allowed to drive unsupervised most of the time, you cannot drive alone between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.
Passenger restrictions. You are not allowed to have any passengers under the age of 20 unless you are supervised by a parent or legal guardian.
