teenager, driving tests should be more difficult. Also, instead of just passing, everyone has to get 100%. As long as we know that teens will be unhurt, they can drive. If they drive violently, and won’t drive aware of danger and responsibly, then they shouldn’t be able to drive. I definitely don’t think the minimum age should be raised. Sixteen is more than old enough for a mature person to drive a vehicle. If a person is not mature or they can’t drive safely enough, then they don’t pass the…
Why the driving age should not be raised Driving is a big art of maturing and growing as an individual. State governments are pushing for the driving age to be raised to eighteen, but there is no reason for this. Sixteen year olds are naturally capable to drive with their senses being heightened as they are younger. Generally, sixteen year olds are unfairly judged as irresponsible and not attentive enough to drive. They also need access to driving in order to get around, and it makes no sense…
By not just increasing the age limit but also increase the time of learning and gaining experience on the road. Teens all have one thing in common “driving.” To have the freedom to be able to drive by themselves with no adult in the car. However, this could be the exact opposite. In the following months a teenager get their license they are most likely to be in a car accident. The main reason for that is the lack of practice and experience on the road for a new driver. Pennsylvania laws allow…
It is paradoxical that though teen drivers account for only 7% of drivers in the US, they have made driving a nightmare for others on the road. They often resort to reckless and rash driving, drunken driving, jumping red lights and flouting traffic rules, making others on the road really vulnerable. Records show that around 90% of US drivers are over the age of 55 and this is where the mature driver improvement programs for adults come to the picture! Traffic rules, vehicle designs and safety…
Many teenagers look forward to being independent. Driving gives them that independence. In high schools today it is common for students of legal age to drive to and from school. Most young drivers are inexperienced and do not have the skill of other drivers. Teenagers are significantly more likely to crash in their first month of driving than they are after their first two years of solo driving, according to a new study from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety (The Washington Post). New…
but we still need some re-working to get this program to its full potential. Secondly, minors and alcohol abuse, our young drivers are just starting to learn to drive and somehow they are gaining access to alcohol. The complication of alcohol and driving is a disaster with any driver, but is a bigger problem with our novice drivers because; they aren’t familiar with either of the two actions. Additionally, we need law enforcement…
drive themselves to wherever they want without any restriction. However, becoming a skillful and master driver is so important, rather than just getting a driver 's license. A master driver is someone who is truly aware of the dangers associated with driving, and he or she knows how to handle them in an effective way. Every year, countless accidents occur by reckless drivers, which leads to many deaths. I believe everyone can become a master driver just by following…
and the reason for that is driving” (Feiler 1). At 16 and 17, many teens begin to drive or learn how to drive, but their own inexperience can pose serious dangers to themselves and other drivers; driving regulations are in place for this reason, although they can be a nuisance to the teen drivers. To avoid these pesky regulations, many people chose to wait until they are of an age where the restrictions no longer apply to them. To protect them and other drivers, teen driving regulations are…
being with you. This driving privilege is almost always taken advantage of by teen drivers. Now, think back to when you first got your drivers license, what was one of the first things you did? Most likely, you called up your best friend and you guys go out for a drive. Depending on what kind of driver you are, you either drove carefully or recklessly. Assuming you were the reckless type, you were most likely…
build up and people to be late for important events in their lives. Most adults who have been driving all their lives blame new teenage drivers from a majority of these accidents. Adult drivers get a sense of distress when they see a teenage driver on the road. They feel that at age 16, teenagers aren’t ready mentally to drive therefore the minimum age requirement to drive should be raised. The minimum driving age in my opinion should not be raised due to the fact that new teenage drivers are…
