The "age thing" isn't stupid; what's stupid is these 16 year olds getting 426 hp V8s and thinking they're the best drivers in the world. What's stupid are 16 year olds that cause accidents and then realize they're shitty drivers. Kids suck at driving, get over it.
The other problem is that most 16 year olds (I said MOST there) have never known anyone their age who was killed or died from a disease or anything like that and they have not yet developed any sense of mortality. It's just a plain fact that they think that they can do stupid things and won't get hurt.

I was once 16 and I remember what it was like.
