Editorial: Teen drivers and the age question
The piece argues that delaying driving privileges for teens may harm responsibility and respect. It reviews AAA proposals to raise the driving age and require supervised hours, notes Senate committee compromise to keep age 16 but add supervised time, and discusses the potential effects on teen behavior and safety. It cites Kansas fatality statistics for ages 14 to 17 and weighs experience versus age in safe driving.
