A lot of states are trying to do this with the graduated licensing laws - I know NC passed it right as I was 14 or 15 and was in the first cohort of teenage drivers affecting. It basically limited driving at night or driving friends around until you were 16.5 or 17. It also required that you be enrolled in high school to have a license.
There is waaaaaaaay too much opposition to raising the driving age though for that to ever be viable for MADD...
