I agree with Blur, raising the age for a drivers License is not going to help, it will only change the statistics.
The first thing they need to do is bring drivers edjucation classes back to the school system. For some reason kids nowadays are not getting the same training they did when I was in school. There is no easy cure for teenage stupidity while driving, but moving the driving age will only make things worse. Atleast now they have more control over who trains them on how to drive.
This should be a federal law, it should be illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to operate a cell phone while driving a moving vehicle. And illegal for anyone to use a cell phone while driving without a hands free type device. And they need to enforce it, this law went into effect back in July for CA, but I still see people holding their cell phones while driving all the time.
This one is not going to be like by many, but I don't think anyone with less than 2 years of driving experince should be driving a car with power to weight ratio of 14/1 or less. Unless they have been through a professional performance driving course. How many times have you heard of a kid killing themselves or others driving a car that is faster than they can handle.
I am sure others have more they can add.
