History

It was in a bid to control the Russian population under the excuse that it was a  measure that would prevent Russian state secretes from being leaked abroad.

A colonel from the Federal Security Service  (FSB) of the Russian Federation by the name of Alexander Poteyev had earlier defected to the U.S. and revealed identities of a network of Russian spies in U.S. and Britain. After this, no FSB employee was allowed out of the country unless they required urgent medical attention that was not available in Russia at the time.

This exit ban was also extended to ordinary Russian citizens with the exception of highly skilled professionals who were allowed to leave the country to work on projects abroad.

The American Automobile Associations will most likely support this plan.
In the past few years, there has been a couple of car crashes by teens. Actually many of the accidents involved teens, and they usually are at fault, because they usually have a lot of distractions, from staring at their phones to listening music on earbuds. Teens also should not be able to get their driver licence at the age 15, because many are still irresponsible during that time. Driver licence at 18 is a better idea then 16, for age 18 people usually go to college, and they would have to have their parents drive them long distances and use their time. At 18, they are also freed up to do more things during that time, and they can fit in classes on driving and take the driving test too.

hope this helps
