On May 23, 2006, the controversial bill raising the driving age in Massachusetts from 16-1/2 to 17-1/2, H4826, was heard in the House session. The bill also provides for more extensive driver education and a limit on cellphone use by teens while driving. This measure would make Massachusetts one of the most restrictive states in the country for teen driving.
On, Thursday, June 01, 2006 the house began the debate on the proposed lawwhich would increase the minimum age to receive a driver's license from 16-1/2 to 17-1/2. The bill has already been approved by the House Ways and Means Committee. Proposed amendments are available on the legislature's site (all 101 pages of them!).

Too many kids were killing their friends due to inattention because they listened to loud music on the highway.
As a response, the government decided that kids were too immature to drive and enacted laws forcing them to be 18 before becoming eligible to drive.

This past year I believe... Now, those who were born after 1991 will have to wait until they are 18.
