The Importance Of Raising The Age Up To 18 To Driving

Decent Essays
I didn’t agree with what they said about rising the age up to 18 to

driving . I think that people 16 and up should be able to drive. The

solution to stop teenage driving from having accident is stop texting

and driving and that also goes the adult’s to. Not all kids will get into

accident so I think bringing the age up is a bad ideal. Sixteen is the

perfect age to start driving.

I also get the point of view when they say the age of driving should go up to 18. Cause people don’t want to keep seeing other people kids being killed by car accident. Sometimes it’s not the teenagers fault most of the time it will the other driver fault that are older than 18 teens. I don’t think kids who is under the age of 18 should be to

    Although most people would disagree, I think that the driving age should not be risen for two reasons. One reason I feel this way is because after so many years of having the driving age the way it is, there is no valid reason to change it now. The driving age was changed to 16 so that the blood alcohol limit for under-20s would be decreased to 0. Parliament also felt that it would strengthen the restricted license test. Another reason I disagree with the age change is that I do not want to have to wait any longer.…

    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.…

    Growing up most kids can’t wait until they turn 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.…

    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.

Generally, sixteen year olds are unfairly judged as irresponsible and not attentive enough to drive.…

    Teens must know how to be responsible and “self-regulate” on their own.

    An estimated 20,000lives have been saved in the past twenty-five years, but yet politicians are not wanting to budge on the driving age in the United States. It is estimated that triple the number of lives saved due to the change in drinking age will be saved if the driving age was to be raised. It takes a lot of persuasion to change a hard headed politicians mind. What usually gets them to is a series of crashed involving young adults, and then, jut maybe, they will think of other ways to protect our young people(Davis, “is 16 too Young?”).…

    There are teens at the age of eighteen who have their license and can drive their friends around but lack experience. If kids are driving by themselves for an extra year, then they will be more responsible at the age of eighteen when they drive with others. With this inexperience, they have a crash rate higher than any other age group. If teens start earlier and drive more before they are free to drive their friends' places teens should lower the number of accidents they have on the road a substantial amount. Teens should be able to drive at a younger age because it can help them be more responsible.…

    The minimum driving age is far from being the problem, the problem in all actuality is what comes after the age of 16 when teens actually acquire driving freedom. Which is where education should come back into play. Teachers and instructors need to teach drivers to self-regulate, to prevent the act out when authority is absent. They basically just need someone to guide them through a responsible path. Although many drivers believe that teens are just not ready for the open road.…
