Over 40% of all lethal accidents on the road are caused by teenage drivers. If the government takes road safety seriously, the solution is completely obvious: Put an end to learner's permits.
If you don't have a driver's license by 2016, that's it. You've missed the boat.
>b-but how will teenagers learn how to drive VR. Put them in electronic driving simulators until they learn how to control their cars and follow the rules. Yes, this would reduce the number of new drivers, but self-driving cars will take over in a few years anyway.
Tell me if I'm wrong. Why should millennials be allowed to endanger responsible drivers?
>A 2008 study conducted by former Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) chief scientist Allan Williams found that raising the age at which drivers are licensed would save lives.
How am I invalidated? It's clear that young drivers are a problem.

Well of course, letting 16 year olds drive cars is utterly moronic.

This isn't a public policy board or a transportation board. It's a car board.

The human brain doesn't stop developing until age 25. We should wait until at least 21.

Yes blame teenagers, they don't get enough flak from the shitty media on a daily basis already.
Old people are 100x worse than even your strawman of teens. -haven't taken a test since the 60s -blind in one eye and don't want to admit it -been repeating the anti-learning meme since the 80s and will always be hostile to learning
By the way, old people keep moving the goalposts on the current four letter word of the millennial generation. Since generations are ageism and all made up by shitty old people, it depends on which shitty old person you ask to find the definition of it.
It's equally common to hear "born after 2000" as the date as well as "adult before 2000". What is adult?
some people say 18, others say 25. So you can be born in 1975, 41 years old, and still be a "millennial". this is why some ageism charts chop out gen X and gen Y altogether. In 5 more years, before the alpha generation (yes that is what they are calling it) becomes teenagers and are still perfect innocent little children, you will see this number increase and it will perfectly begin where boomers end which is 1970. In 30 more years millennial will probably eat up baby boomers too and just be redefined for the entire century because it's close enough.
