they're talking about changing that. at least
in Wisconsin they are.. they just changed
it last year that you couldn't drive without
an experienced driver for a year after you
get your license. and they want to do even more.
too many accidents is one of the reasons.

Yeah. It's weird to me though. A few of years before I got my license, the legal age for a full license where I live was 15.

I never knew that..we get nasty tornados. There
is a corridor to the west of where I live
that constantly gets nailed.

"Tornado Ally" I've seen many programs about it.

There was a tornado in the UK last year that I think hit Birmingham that was comprable to a small US one (big news for us).

The legal age for a provisional is 17.

[srg]

it just makes sense if you think about it.
teens, young adults and the elderly have
the worst driving records of anyone
who can drive.

agreed

It worked around here. The whole state is pretty much a rural area. A lot of kids start learning to drive by age 10 or 11. By 15, most kids already had a few years of experience.

temps for here were 16. I think they are 17 now.

We have similar laws in Massachusetts. You can't drive with anyone under 18 as a passenger until you turn 18 yourself. I think you also can't drive by yourself between midnight and five AM. I can't recall as the laws obviously don't apply to me. You can get your license by 16 1/2. Technically though it's not a "full" license until you're 18.

If I have kids, they'll end up 20 before they can even operate a vehicle the way things are going. I was looking forward to having chaffeurs...

Mississippi. Kids generally stick to backroads. Some kids drive better than the adults around here...
