I wish they would raise the age, what you said about kids getting dumber and dumber is so true.
Another thing, kids today ride in the back seat, on account of the airbag issue. When I was a kid, I sat in the front seat of my Dads car, and watched the movements of the other drivers on the road. We are living in a nanny state, and the kids are indeed, as you have pointed out, getting dumber and dumber.
