I wish they would raise the age, what you said about kids getting dumber and dumber is so true.
Apologies for being off-topic.

"I couldn't agree with this anymore". This means you agreed in the past, but no longer agree. You should have written "I couldn't agree with this more" i.e. you completely agree.

"I'm 18 years old and just got my license back in October ...". So you got your license back after losing it, or you acquired a license for the first time back in October? It's a rhetorical question, used to highlight your ambiguity.

The irony of your conclusion aside (and back on topic) - I agree with you completely. Also training in a simulator and passing a basic simulated driving skills test, followed by a closed-road test - before before being allowed out on a real road would be an improvement.
