The issue of raising the driving age has come up before. The main argument against it is that many kids 15-18 work on farms and, therefore, have to be able to drive to do the work. Similarly, alot of other kids 15-18 need a car to get to work; remember public transportation is pretty much a big city thing. So, while I agree something should be done (perhaps more education ?) I think they will never raise the driving age to 18 for these reasons.
