it's not the age, it's the experience. if it's raised to 18, those figures
will just increase by two years.  and yes it _IS_ a need in alot of cases.
the majority of people i know have a NEED for a car. yes some of them can
get by with riding with other people, but alot can't.  I for example (i
can only really use myself as an example, because I honestly don't know
all the details of everybody else) need to drive to get to OSU 20 minutes
away and back every morning, and then go to my high school. this summer is
will be driving across town to DeVry and back everyday.
