fwiw, IMO it's a terrifically BAD idea to increase the driving age to 18. Yeah, let's give LEGAL "adults" a 2 ton murder weapon and no parental oversight.:thumbsdown:
Just 2 ton? You are legally allowed to operate a vehicle with a curb weight of anything less than 10,000lbs up here with a basic class 5. Increasing driving age to drinking age seems to me like a really stupid idea. Giving people alcohol and a drivers license at the same time is a recipe for disaster. Oh thats right too, thats the age where you can buy tobacco, so now you get to smoke when you're filling your vehicle up with gas :thumbsdown: .
BTW, I'm from a rural area so public transportation is less than non existent, and riding a bike on our highway would be suicide.
