What is the author's point of view in the passage below?

In my opinion, young people should get a driver's license after the age of eighteen. First of all, people under eighteen should be concentrating on their studies. It takes a lot of time for teenagers to learn the rules of the road and how to handle a vehicle. It would be better if they used this time to study. Second, statistics show that young drivers have more accidents than older drivers. They tend to be careless, and a machine that weighs several thousand pounds should be handled seriously. Finally, if teenagers cannot drive, they learn other ways to get around such as using public transportation. For example, my son doesn't have a car. He uses public buses to go to school every day. Therefore, he is good at finding cheaper ways of going around in different cities as well. In short, it is clear that there are many good reasons for a young person to wait until age eighteen to get a driver's license.
