Yup. It's the younger female drivers that get into more accidents than the rest. But, the younger males get more tickets and tend to speed more. I had a few speeding tickets...no big deal. But, I never got into an accident because of it. Come to think of it, I've been driving for 14 years and have been in three accidents. None were my fault. I was rear ended while at a stop light by a female in a Jaguar. I rear ended a female driving a van after she crossed a physical barrier slamming on her brakes in front of me. And...the last one where the 16 year old girl snuck out of the house while she was grounded taking moms car w/out asking (of course) at 11:30. She pulled out in front of me failing to yield on a left turn. What's up w/ the females??? hehe.
I think the age limit is just fine for drivers licenses. Sure, there's some bad drivers. But, the decision on whether they get their license or not should be up to the instructor who teaches them. There are millions of 16 year olds across this country who know it's a privilage to operate a motor vehicle on a public roadway and these people play it safe. Just because some of them like to speed, doesn't mean all the rest should be penalized. I'd like to hook up that GPS w/a recorder so I could watch how my kids drive. Of course, that'll be years down the road.
