Good points, Hilary. My nephew told me that in Ontario, Canada licences are graduated. A new driver/rider is restricted to slower roads, not allowed to drive on highways and can drive in daylight only. In stages a driver is allowed to drive on the faster roads and at night. There are also strong driver education classes in schools. Traffic accidents - often single car vehicle accidents are on of the leading causes of teen deaths. A little education could save a lot of lives. Then you have the sensitive issue of of older drivers whose eyesight and reflexes make them a hazard to themselves and others. The issue of speed is a separate one. There are drivers who are unsafe at any speed - even in parking lots LOL! I saw one of those on Saturday - He hit another car at about 10 mph!
