Explain Why People Should Not Drive The Minimum Age To 18

Decent Essays
I think people should be able to drive at whatever age they feel like they can safely drive. I think the minimum age should be thirteen, and as long as you’re a teenager, driving tests should be harder. Also, instead of just passing, everyone has to get 100%. As long as we know that teens will be safe, they can drive. If they won’t be safe and won’t drive carefully 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 car.

If the person is not mature or they can’t drive well enough, then they don’t pass the test, no matter how old they are. I think we should do this because there are some kids that aren’t sixteen are mature
