This is exactly the point. A bad driver will be a bad driver whether they are 16 or 25. They need to enforce a more strict test along with more education. The 3 months of driver's ed isn't enough. Bad driving is caused more by ignorance than anything...the only way to get rid of ignorance is through education. Pushing back the age and enforcing new fines only establishes a little extra income and pissed off young drivers if anything. There should be more of a requirement for drivers education, at the drivers cost not the states, in order to obtain a license. You want to drive you need to do the work.
