"I'm 14 years old and I can legally drive through this country from border to border." The trouble with the 14-year-old is that he's half man, half boy. One minute he's a sober, sensible adult, next he's a defiant, irresponsible child. A child who'll do things in a car that can send chills down your spine. Things that can turn him into a killer. In fact, too many already are. Young people get into more crack-ups than any other age group. Yet in the face of this murderous evidence some states still license 14-year-olds. And a lot that don't license them will let them drive through. So many, in fact, that you never know where you'll run into one. Or when one will run into you. But for once, time is on our side. Time changes boys into men. Only they'll never make it if we let them drive too soon. What age isn't too soon? We don't know. Let the states get together and figure that out. But we do know it isn't too soon to write your local legislator. And demand that he give kids a chance to grow up. Not everyone should drive.
