NO LICENSE BEFORE 21 NOR AFTER 70:

Drivers--Not Cars--Are The Greater Danger: The brouhaha over Toyota's safety standards belies a much graver problem. (Michael Fumento, 05.03.10, Forbes)

Even bonafide defects rarely "cause" accidents. "Whether it's a defect or a child darting into the road, most crashes occur because drivers don't leave an adequate safety margin," says Leonard Evans, author of the book Traffic Safety. In one of those two Toyota accidents, the driver went 20 miles without putting the car into neutral, pushing the ignition button or glancing down to see there was a mat wedged under his accelerator and yanking it back. He ultimately slammed into another vehicle, incinerating its occupant.

Evans bemoans what he calls "the lethal American obsession with technical flaws." Indeed, a 1985 Federal Highway Administration study found only 2% of accidents were entirely related to the vehicle factors, while 12% could at least partly be blamed on the vehicle. Meanwhile 57% were due solely to driver error, and 93% involved driver error. Since then, dozens of new safety improvements have been added to vehicles.
