The problem is, though, that practically every driver suffers from an occasional lapse in driving ability. A lot of people won't admit that, but I think it's true. With that in mind, virtually everyone could lose their drivers' license. It's one of those uncomfortable, general truths. This is why many people think you shouldn't be punished (by losing your license or having it suspended, for example) unless you actually do cause a serious accident. I think it's a legitimate line of argument, and highly defensible.

Yet studies show teens are the most at risk for deadly accidents or crashes. It could come from lack of experience behind the wheel. But just trying to take human error into consideration doesn't change matters.

10,000 teen deaths in the last 6 years due to auto crashes or accidents isn't helped much by just say "Shit happens."

Personally I'd say add devises to everyone car that records Max speed, Acceleration, Road handling, tire slips, sudden braking, etc.. It could be recorded then copied and viewed by the cars owner. Know exactly what you kids have been up to behind the wheel. Of course I'm sure some people would cry foul for violation of privacy.
