Default Kid dies in a car crash 3 days after getting his license

Sad, but why let so many kids out there on the road when they are totally inexperienced and when the license test in the US is a ridiculous joke compare to Europe's?

Too many kids fancy about a car to show off to their mates at school, too many of them are immature and don't realize how dangerous the road can be. Please, give them their license at 18.

Age is arbitrary. Revise the testing procedures first, IMO.

Also the graduated licenses recently adopted in California[ for new drivers born after 1982] have had very little impact on driver deaths under the age of 25.

About the license...do you know how many time I've seen these 16 year olds when I was in HS doing peelouts and pulling the handbrake around corners in front of kids crossing the street and all this. Pisses me off soo much. They get their license then go speeding and doing gay ass shit with their rice burners. They should give a road test. At speed limit, little over the speed limit, through traffic, etc...
