My car is as safe as the person driving it. My cousin owns a tow company, atleast 70% of car accidents he tows from are caused by fully licenced drivers in fully licenced cars, "SAFE" cars. Trouble is its to easy to get your licence, and its not an age thing, no matter how old you are if you cant drive you shouldnt be on the road. Police are not hard enough on old folk but i guess how could ya?? and young people dont get enough experience before they drive alone on thier restricted, obviously not talking about kids who grow up on farms, thats the experinced required. Licencing needs to be harder but cheaper!!
