Teens need to start driving and get use to it before they get out in…

I definitely don’t think the minimum age should be raised.…

    a mistake should mean we should all pay for it? I do not think that but some people disagree. There has been talk of raising the driving age and because the government thinks because we are young we are stupid. What I am going towards is we should not raise the driving age.
