Raising the Driving age to 18. Back in 2013 on December 4th, 16-year-old Alyssa Ettl, a junior at Lakeville North had gotten in a car accident and we all probably remember this sad event. Alyssa had lost control of her car and ended up colliding with an SUV(Ferraro). And now 2 years exactly later another car accident happened on December 4th, 2015 but with 4 Lakeville South students. 2 of the students were announced dead at the scene of the accident it was 17-year-old Jacob Flynn and 18-year-old…

Lowering and raising the driving age has been a debatable topic for many years. People that want to raise the driving age are saying that kids are immature because they are younger, which is totally unrealistic, because the driving age should be lowered. If the driving age is lowered, there could be safer driving, and because teenagers would be more independent, as most parents hate the hassle of trying to chaffeur the teenagers everywhere. There is a problem in society with stereotyping.…

How can Teenagers be Convinced to Drive More Safely? Turning sixteen years in the lives of teenagers is an exciting moment. At this age, they are able to acquire a driver’s license, and it is a milestone towards adulthood (Moreno 592). At this juncture, they have the control as well as the freedom they never experienced before. The higher freedom could, however, be a recipe for more evil than could if not well utilized. For instance, on several occasions, people have blamed teenage deaths to…

“Driving is a Privilege, Not a Right.” Driving is not a constitutional right. People get their driving licenses based on their skills and if they can drive safely. This actually causes some problems. How about teenagers who are just 16 years old? It is hard for them to follow the traffic rules every time. This also means Teenagers like them are easy to fail to demonstrate this abilities.However, someone said there are plenty of benefits of letting teenagers start driving at 16 years old. In my…

Sixteen year old drivers aren’t the safest drivers on the road. Why should we decrease the legal driving age to fourteen? We shouldn’t! Evidence shows us that at the age of 14, the frontal lobe is developing, and traits such as maturity and responsibility are lacking. The legal driving age should not lower to fourteen. Sixteen years olds are, generally, more mature than fourteen year olds. Fourteen year olds, including myself, are more likely to swerve because of a bug hitting the windshield.…

Thousands of drivers die every day. Many people say that the most common age group that get in wrecks with vehicles are teens. I believe that the legal driving age should not be changed to 21 because teens develop responsibilities while they drive, they also become more independent allowing them to not have to rely on their parents to drive them everywhere, not changing the legal driving age also allows teens to gain more experience and develop their driving skills so they can transition into…

Driving is something everyone will have to do in their lifetime. To make the experience safer, states implement new restrictions and laws. Raising the minimum driving age are one of the approaches states take to defend the live of drivers. The Restrictions and laws already set for teen drivers effectively make them safer, demonstrating there is no need to lower the minimum age. Over the years, new courses and restrictions that specifically target sixteen and seventeen years olds have…

The driving age should be bumped up to the age 18 because they'll have more time to learn the rules of the road, gain more experience, and be more aware of driving in general. This would not only be helpful to the new drivers, but also for all the current drivers out there. Before teens could even think about going behind the wheel, they have to hit the books on the multiple rules of the road. These rules have been developed and enforced around the country so that the highways, streets, and all…

Is it too young to drive? I say no. 16 is the perfect age. That's why you get a permit when you´re15 so you have a year to prepare to drive. When you're sixteen you go out with people and you go to high school. You definitely need a car to do this stuff. And also when you´re sixteen your high school team does fundraisers and all this stuff. You need a car to go out and do you´re important stuff. My claim is this, Of course people out there think 16 is too young and teens can get hurt. Well as…

Raising the Driving Age to Eighteen Remember the feeling of your first time being free on the open road, with none but yourself to direct where your going. Every person remembers the thrill of freedom that getting your license at sixteen brings. What we don't remember is our first car crash, how lucky we are to have lived through it and the huge risk teen drivers are really taking by being on the road. Automobile accidents are a common sight on the road and the majority of the population has…
