Bill to raise driving age to 18 faces House panel
In Topeka, lobbyists and lawmakers urged the House Transportation Committee to back bills raising the minimum driving age to 18. The proposal also lifts the instruction permit age to 16 and applies to motorcycles, with a provision tying teen driving to adult supervision. Supporters cite a fatal McPherson incident and peer pressures, while opponents argue parental control varies by family.
