I disagree, the problem isn't age since people can be immature idiots at any age.
It's education and seat time.
Turning 20 isn't going to magically make you understand the implications of being behind the wheel.
BTW, In some states, the lowest age you can drive IS 18.
IMO if somebody wants to learn how to drive they should be able to in a controlled environment from the earliest age their feet can reach the pedals and their eyes can see over the dashboard. And once the instructor or whoever certifies them they should be able to drive on the road with all other motorists.

I agree that there are idiots at any age. However, a younger person who is probably still in highschool will usually not have a full understanding of how their actions will can affect people. That is why people always say teenagers think they are invincible, because life hasnt happen to them yet. Yes you can learn how to drive once your feet can reach the pedals, and you can be the best driver around. that doesnt mature the mind, or give you the life experiences of consequences and regret.
