Obviously, kids should learn from an early age that having a driver's license is a privilige and NOT a right (someone screwed-up a long time ago in that department) and that everyone is (or ought to be) responsible for their own actions. Certainly, that is easier said than done especially when Society is locked out of the Rule making and implementation (and subsequent court rulings) with any sensible debate absent or restricted. Also, kids at high school age should be involved with Advanced Driver Training courses and be shown the after-affects of irresponisble driver behaviour by way of supporting the SES in cleaning up accident scenes and getting a better grounding and understanding of how easy it is to kill yourself or your friends in just a split second of stupidity.
It really doesn't matter what the age of the person is these days, if they have no respect for anyone else let alone other road users, they will continue to do what they want to do until (like Bigfoot) they see the error of their ways.
