OOH, want tougher laws, OTOH, complain about regulation

OOH: On One Hand
OTOH: On The Other Hand

Bottom Line - CNBC: Tougher laws needed to save teen drivers: ""The longer parents wait for their teens to get their permit, the longer licensure is delayed, the lower the crash rates," says Ann McCartt with the Insurance Institute.
The problem is that not all states are pushing tighter licensing restrictions.
For example, in South Dakota the minimum age to get a driver’s license is 14 years, 3 months. There are probably some 14 year olds who can handle driving a car, but a lot more who lack the maturity needed behind the wheel.
When I look back at some of the stupid stuff I pulled while driving as a 16 year old, I shudder the memories. My guess is that most people (including lawmakers) feel the same way.
It's time they step up and realize they have the chance to dramatically cut teen driving accidents by passing tougher laws. "
