I think you can be a good driver when you turn 16 but think about it, when you turn 16 you are very exited to get to drive and then you drive like shit. Not sayind bad just like shit. 16yo drivers love to haul ass everywhere they go and do stupid all the time. I know I was there 3 years ago and now I have watched some kids younger than me and they drive like shit. I never got in a wreck and neither did these kids, but i have watched them get many tickets, not very good for insurance and not a way to keep your parents happy. So think about it if you drive a pos for a while you wont have the urge to drive like shit. You wont even want to drive very much. Wait to get crazy!!!!!
