Just over a week ago, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety issued a new report urging lawmakers to raise the legal driving age to 18 … 53% of adults nationwide think it’s a good idea … 49% of men like the idea, 67% of women do.

Surprisingly, younger adults seem to take the same opinion as their elders on this question.

When asked which age young adults should be allowed to get behind the wheel, 35% said 18 and 5% said 21.
