Driving Age Should not be Raised Essay

If someone-while driving a car-makes bad decisions, is the driver's license to blame? No. If a teen has a fatal accident, does another teen that was not involved have their license suspended? Of course not, but those who think the driving age should be raised, are convinced that a person's age is relevant to this. Those who think this are basing their opinion on teens who have made bad decisions while behind the wheel of a car. They are labeling all teens before any teen drives or has an…

sixteen so they can get their driver license. It’s even a dream to most teens and to take that away would be a world of terror. After reading both articles “Should the Driving Age Be Raised to 18?” and “Do Teens Need Graduated Licenses?” I can explain the different opinions on why teens shouldn’t get a license or drive at sixteen and if teens should go though a program called “Graduated Driver License” to keep lives safe and reduce car accidents yearly.

in the U.S.. In 2008 there has been over 50,000 fatal crashes, 1% of which have been drivers age 15 to age 20. Though 12% of these accidents involved adolescents, should the driving age be raised? Presently the minimum driving age in the United States is 16 years old. Some 16 year olds do lack the maturity and responsibility to drive, but the driving age does not need to be changed and maybe the driving course itself needs to be renewed. So young drivers will have no leeway for silly…

Sixteen year old drivers aren’t the safest drivers on the road. Why should we decrease the legal driving age to fourteen? We shouldn’t! Evidence shows us that at the age of 14, the frontal lobe is developing, and traits such as maturity and responsibility are lacking. The legal driving age should not lower to fourteen. Sixteen years olds are, generally, more mature than fourteen year olds. Fourteen year olds, including myself, are more likely to swerve because of a bug hitting the windshield.…

The age to be raised could be good for the cops if they were to pull a teen over, then they would treat them like a…

They argue if to be raised or not, but there’s some people think yes or no, because they think “it’s not safe for societies” and “young people should be experience of driving”. But in my opinion it should not be raised because young people need the driver license to get to where they want to go. The driving age should not be raised to…

To some raising the driving age is said to be saving lives, and to other it’s not. A debate has currently been going on of weather teen driving age should be raised.
