should sixteen year olds be able to drive?

Yes, with restrictions on alcohol (NONE) and passengers (one or two).  The graduated licensing program works well.

16 is ok as long as you are dating your school pal. Else wait until 21

16 is too young.\nRaise the age to 18, when they are all legally responsible for ALL their own actions.\nHow about that for starters?

In California, you must be 18 years of age to drive alone without an adult. 16 years of age to drive with an adult.

To get your full drivers license at age 16-1/2, you have to have taken an approved drivers ed class, among other requirements.\n\nIf you wait til you're 17, you do not have to take a drivers ed class.

Yes, 18 is a perfect age. I didn't get my driver's license until I was 18 and didn't get a car until I was 18. By then I had already graduated from high school. I don't like how in high school there were people flossing their rides while the others walked and what not.

It does depends on your age. Cuz my wife just got her's last week and I can ride with her. check out both the links. The first one talks about the newer teen restrictions and the second is the actual DMV link.

It's still permit at 15 and license at 16, I haven't heard anything about changing it... and if anything they should limit the driving age where when you get to a certain age you need to pass some test or something...

I think it needs to be on a case by case basis.  There are some 40yr olds that don't need to be driving and there are 90yr olds that drive just fine.  I do agree that the little old ladies who can't see over the dash don't need to be driving along with the people who drive incredibly slow on the highways.

I think there should be more restrictions on drivers the age of 16-18. If caught violating restrictions, license privledge taken away until 18.

if you are 20+years old and asking I think your out of luck..\n\nmost of the drivers drive on tracks BEFORE they can get a lisence to drive on the street. that kind of experiance is tough to overcome.\n\nstart on local dirt tract and hope your good!!

Depends on what state you live in, and the requirements differ from state to state.  You have to take a driver's course in Louisiana if you are only 16.\n\nDo a Yahoo search and find your state department of motor vehicles to find out licensing requirements.

I THINK IT'S 16 NO MATTER WHERE YOUR AT. YOU CAN GET A SPECIAL WORK PERMIT IF YOUR YOUNGER

I'm totally for teen driving restrictions..it gives you time to learn in a more restrictive way without so many distractions before you "go it alone", I am however not at all supportive of raising the driving age...I want my son home the first few years he's driving (when people are likelier to have accidents) so that by the time he's 'going it alone' he's got a few supervised years experience under his belt...plus, as your parents- we love you & want you safe :)

I hate to tell u this, but he's right. It may not seem a lot to you, it's only 2 years, right? what's the big deal? it is a lot when he is old enough to drive and you are still in every sense of the word a minor. The things he may want to do, it will be illegal for you to do. The best thing to do is wait. Maybe when you're 18 and he's 20...

I am pretty sure that you have to be 16 years old.  Best wishes
