Stop wineing and do something. You have the internet and access to all the satistics. I feel that 14 is not any more mature than 16. I also feel that the public would be better off if people that drive like assholes could find out that they drive like assholes on a 100 lbs. moped than rather then a 3,000 lbs. car. (Darwins theory at work) Get the satistics that prove that the roads are safer where 14 yr. olds can ride mopeds and get a petition that has 10,000 signatures of voters that feel that you and others should be able to ride at 14 and take to your State delegate. Come up with reasons that the general public would be better off if 14 yr. olds could ride so the delegate can get co-sponsors to get the bill on the floor at the next session of the MD general assembly and get people to contact their delegate and ask them to vote for the bill. It would make a good project for your high school student gov., and would be more educational than choosing a theme for the prom. Act quickly the assembly starts in Jan. Good luck and stop bitching
