Do you remember how excited you were to finally get your license when you were sixteen? Or do you remember how excited you were going to be once you reached sixteen so imagine if they were to raise the driving age to eighteen. The driving age should not be raised. It should not be raised because sixteen is a good age to start driving. You're old enough to have an job at this age so you should be able to have a license to make sure you can be self reliant getting to work or anywhere else without relying on someone like parents or any other family members. You have all these stereotypes for teen drivers but that should not be the final view on all teens when it comes to driving.

Society all have the same rights so they should be able to use them. Teens that get into car accidents due to drinking and texting is their own personal choice. Thats not every teen choice when their out their driving so why should they make that stereotype for them. “MOST 16-YEAR-OLDS I KNOW ARE SAFE DRIVERS. A FEW PROBABLY ARE TOO IMMATURE TO DRIVE, BUT IT'S NOT FAIR TO PUNISH EVERY ONE OF THEM”(Rinaldo). They have a choice whether to do the right thing that they know they should be doing or they wrong thing which they know they shouldn't be doing. It's all an choice and you make one either good or bad. Every person that has an license is taking a risk when their driving whether you're a good driver or a bad driver. You may not even be texting or driving but you can still be at risk of getting into an car accident."There is some good news for 16-year-old drivers. The number of fatal crashes among kids their age has declined in the United States, dropping 26 percent between 1993 and 2003, reports the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.Allan Williams, of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, agrees — somewhat. "There is no magic age," he says. And his main tip for teen drivers is this: "Practice, practice, practice.

Yet only teenagers rival drivers 75 and older for piling up traffic fatalities per miles driven. In the past year” (Shapiro). Teens aren't who they should be worried about. they should be worried about elderly people because when you get older you start to forget stuff you get weaker and move at a slower pace. You're not able to do what you maybe was cable of at sixteen years old. Elderly drivers are more likely to get into an car accident than a younger driver. Another reason they believe teens should not drive is because of poor behavior.
