As a result of studies indicating up to 25% of 16-year old drivers received a ticket or had been involved in an accident, the state of Colorado enacted what they refer to as the Graduated Driver License Law (GDL). For this reason, the requirements of obtaining a learners permit involve a few stages, depending upon the age of the student. If the student is between the ages of 15 to 15 ½, they need to complete a 30 hour driver education course to obtain their driver’s education permit. If between…

More than 5,00 U.S. teens die every year in car crashes, the number one killer of that age group. People are trying to decide: should the driving age be changed to 18 instead of 16? Countless people believe that yes, those teenagers are not capable of taking on that responsibility. Most, however, have the right idea. 16-year-olds should drive as parents should not need to chauffeur their kids around, and it'll only cause the problem to be given to the 18-year-olds. Graduated licensing is a much…

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…

As teenagers we seem to think we are invincible, which causes us to underestimate how short life actually is. We never think anything detrimental will happen to us, how naive we are. A childhood friend, Gabriella Sette Heiderick, died February 21 at 3:00 a.m. while driving back home. What she didn’t realize was that texting and driving will cut your life short. The truth of the matter is that we have all picked up our phone while driving and read a text message or checked a notification.…

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…

This generation loves to live life in the fast lane; we love our freedom, our speed, and most importantly our cars. Almost everyone obtains a driver’s license at the age of sixteen as they reach that milestone of their life, and in celebration of this achievement a car is to be presented. But perhaps, this tradition should be changed a new as cars are eating away at our world population and economy; we can do this by limiting the usage of cars. Limiting the usage of cars is an advantage because…

I know it’s shocking. Once you turn fifteen in Texas, you can get a learners permit. Once you turn sixteen, you can obtain a state's driver's license. They’ve only been driving a little more than a year and now they can take their parents car wherever they want without the supervision of a well-seasoned adult driver. This could lead to some fatal accidents if they were to panic or second guess…

Driving is one of the most important things to almost all of the teens in the United States. Itg symbolises freedom from the strings attached to you and not having to hold you parents hands any more. But their are some percossions that you should take before taking this leap in your life. Like all of the safety percussions. And all of the rules to not get into some heat.

busy highway. Then he collided into another driver. Two of his classmates on the left passenger side and the truck driver died. Schoenfeld had received his driver’s license only two weeks before the crash. This teen’s reckless driving and immaturity killed three people (“Teen Driving”). Teens should not receive their driver’s license until the age of eighteen because accidents involving teenagers are usually caused by inexperience, alcohol use, and texting while driving. First, according to…

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…
