  1. 1.The large number of California teenagers have been having a hard time, because the new lows, much stricter, for young drivers were introduced in California.
    2.The reason: many and many young drivers involved in fatal crashes and injury collisions. It must be solved.
    3.The fatal accident statistic among California's young drivers is 8.9%.
    4.The other most dangerous groups of California's drivers are the group involved in accident between midnight and 3am,20s drivers, and the elderly drivers.
    5.I think the regulations should be introduced, because many of young drivers don't pass driver's exams, the simply buy driving license without learning. I suppose that the such rules as “the teenagers can't get a license at all until they have completed 50 hours of driving, ten of them at night, under adult supervision; and they can't get a full license until they have driven for a year with no violations” must be introduced in Russia. Differently, the number of fatal accident will rise.

And such regulations as prohibition to obtaining the driving licences until completing 50 hours of driving (10 of them at night) under adult supervision must be introduced for any age groups in Russia in order to novice drivers be guided better in different driving situations.
