If people deemed 16 year olds, old enough for jobs that go late into the night, why not deem us responsible enough to drive? If we do get our licenses when we are 16, then we can learn the rules, pay costs when we have our parents as back up, and learn to take responsibility.
The misunderstanding is that lawmakers think that 16 year olds, new drivers, are dangerous. When really any new driver is dangerous. I see it as a better situation when the parents can teach them how to drive, control when they drive,
