are they going to make it where you have to get a license when you are 18?

Answer 1

actually, i think it would be much better in the long run to....start training at 14.5 yrs, but they cannot road test until at least 17. in that way, they will have almost 3 solid years to properly train in all weather and traffic conditions with mom and dad....the right way. no driving to school, no bunny hoppin around town being reckless and wind up dead at 12am, just about 3 yrs of nothing but hands-on training with parents. think this would go a long way in reducing insurance rates on teen drivers. with dad in the other seat, it would cut waaaay down on the idiocy i see at times from teens on the road.

Answer 2

I don't mind if they do. In Europe things are opposite from the U.S. kids can drink at 14, but they can't drive until they're 18. And you don't have drunk kids driving around, which is my biggest concern. Besides, driving really requires a certain level of maturity.

The driving age should be 18 everywhere in the U.S., unless the area is very remote.

Edit: wait...are you asking if a driving license will be REQUIRED at 18? There is no initiative for that to happen. Maybe you mean, national i.d. cards?

Answer 3

At the current moment this controversoial topic is being debated by local, state, and national governments nation wide. Chances are very good that this will be a definite yes because of all of the teenage accidents that happen mostly due to drinking and careless or reckless behavior.

Answer 4

I doubt it. why would they do that? There are a lot of people in NYC that don't have their license. They don't need it.

The only thing is that it is good identification if you are cashing a check or need an ID for some reason. There are people that get their license just for that purpose, whether they drive or not.

good luck

Answer 5

Some states are already doing that in the mid west.
