Change restrictions With new drivers

Currently when one gets his license, he has to wait for 6 months to be able to drive friends other than immediate family members. This is BS. Although I can understand why this restriction is currently in place, I recommend an alternative based on fair assessment of a drivers capability. People, such as myself, who were given a pass on the license test before the test was even over should be allowed to drive friends immediately. I would also recommend making the test harder, there is a constant stereotype of teen drivers as irresponsible and incapable drivers, this situation is most likely caused by the fact that currently the driving test is easy enough to be completed by a reasonably alert golden retriever. would we let a golden retriever drive a car? No. And neither should we allow people who really are not ready to drive, drive. Driving isn't a right, it is not guaranteed by the constitution, nor the declaration of independence, so let us not treat it as though it is so. Would I hand just anyone a hand gun? No. A hand gun is dangerous if used improperly( and in war dangerous either way), a car is also dangerous if used incorrectly, it is akin to a 2 ton wrecking ball. So let us not let someone who couldn't be trusted use either of these things. If the test were simply a bit harder, we wouldn't have to worry about easily distracted persons (those who would be distracted by friends) getting into a car. Only responsible people would, and thus we would have no need for a half-year period before one can drive friends.
