    With school and jobs on their minds they do not have the time to focus on the road while driving causing bad things to happen. If teens are going to drive they need to be A and B students and have a part time job less than ten miles away from their home. But before worrying about driving they need to have all of the things done that need to be done, including homework (paperwork of any kind), all important calls and texts out of the way, and a backup route to the desired location so if a detour is needed you would have an alternate route. If I were 16 I would be the most responsible driver that I could possibly be, and not only worry about my safety but the safety of those around me. So should all new…

    In reality, driver education courses are being offered in only about half of the nation’s public schools, many discontinued because of skyrocketing insurance costs. Even when courses are offered, they generally focus on helping students pass a test, not teaching them to drive defensively and safely (Triplett 4). If the course is available at a school, it is only a semester long, which is not adequate time to be prepared to drive on the road. Surveys reviewed by the insurance institute show that more than fifty percent of adults support higher licensing age, and many young teens agree with this concept as well. For instance, Ryan Moore, a sixteen-year-old, stated that he thinks “it would be better to wait”…

    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.…
