Should 14 and 15 year olds be able to get full driver's licenses?

Is there really a pressing need for 14 year old's to drive?  Why not make it 12 or 10?  Is there any reason why it should be lowered?

Personally I believe that every 5-10 years EVERYONE should have to retake and pass the driver's exam.

This would accomplish the following:

1. Prevent the elderly who are physically incapable of driving safely from doing so (although I suspect a great many would continue albeit illegally).

2. Should keep drivers updating themselves on changes in the laws of the road.

I will admit I am unfamiliar with the situation in North Dakota but I certainly cannot imagine my friend's 13 year old daughter driving in a year.

Because the lines at the DMV areb't long enough as is. It currently takes about SIX HOURS to get a driver's license here because of lines. Is it as bad where you guys live?

If it saves lives and reduces insurance costs then I think I can handle slightly longer lines at the DMV.
