why it's too easy- the 25 hours your supposed to get with your parents is like the old 'book it' for pizza hut scam they ran in gradeschool. My parents signed it off, but took me out driving twice. 1 month after getting the license= 2 totaled cars. They made my younger sister actually complete all 25 hours with them... Don't really know how to fix the problem. I'd also like to see a restriction on the other end of the age limit too. My grandma is like 90 or something, I've ridden with some crazy people before, but no one scares me more than my grandma.... does she see that stopped truck in front of us???

Maybe not a restriction on the age limit on the "too old" side of it, but at least make it where after you turn age 70 or something you have to test every year.

I think the worst part about some older people driving is they are driving way too slow, like they are scared to be behind the wheel or something, IMHO if you are too old to keep your speed up to the rest of the traffic, then you are too old to drive....... just my .02
