Driver's education

State legislatures are considering to raise the minimum driving age from sixteen to eighteen because of safety concerns. When a person turns sixteen he or she is old enough to get a job and have many responsibilities. As a teenager myself, I enjoy the freedom of driving myself places, even though it might just be to work some days. Also at my age, I am stuck between a child and an adult. The ability to drive makes it seem like I am not a child anymore. The driving age should not be raised…

Boom crash! A 16 year old just went off the road. This is why people want to change the age limit to 18. People have researched if this should happen. They came with the answer no. When you are 16 you can get a job. How are you supposed to get there if you can't drive. Yes your mom and dad can take you, but dont you think that they will get tired of going there and back a lot. It wastes a lot of gas too. Gas now is like $2.35 a galen now. People dont want to pay that. If you are 16…

teenagers 15, 16 or 17 years of age. Some of the rules are that teenagers have to have a certain amount of hours being supervised by an adult, no driving other teenagers, no night driving, and a 6-month waiting period of instruction before taking a driver's test. These laws have been the driving force behind the 30% drop in fatal automobile accidents in 15, 16, and 17 year olds. Yet as automobile accidents for 15 and 16 year olds drop the sudden fluctuation of automobile accidents of 18 and 19…

to 18. The age limit is ok the way it is. I agree the person that says no. if you change the age it isn’t making a difference. There still would be car wrecks and accident. If teen have to get grad licenses what is the difference, then a driver’s licenses. What is the meaning of a graduated licenses? If the teens have that it means that it is something just to have. The grad licensees are just something else to keep up with. There is…

Throughout High School, there are many milestones teenagers look forward to. Getting a driver’s license is one of them. Some teenagers get cars for their 16th birthday awaiting that day 3 months from then that they are going to be able to drive on their own for the first time. Yet, many people believe that 16 is too young to deal with the responsibility that comes with driving. These people believe teenagers should be able to drive at the age of 18. However, the driving age should stay the same…

Why the driving age should not be raised Driving is a big art of maturing and growing as an individual. State governments are pushing for the driving age to be raised to eighteen, but there is no reason for this. Sixteen year olds are naturally capable to drive with their senses being heightened as they are younger. Generally, sixteen year olds are unfairly judged as irresponsible and not attentive enough to drive. They also need access to driving in order to get around, and it makes no sense…

Should 16 year olds really be allowed to drive or should we raise the driving age to 18? I personally think the driving age should be raised to 18 and here are some of my reasons why. ( 18 being the driving age, statistics, maturity, ) For my first reason 18 should be the driving age I will tell more as you read on but to start I want to tell more on why 18 would be the best driving age. Sure 16 would be a nice age because you are in high school and you have friends and you can go out and…

Imagine not having a job and not being able to help support one’s family. Think about not having the opportunity to go to the final football game because there is no transportation. The Mississippi legislature is considering a bill that will raise the age requirement for obtaining a drivers license to seventeen, and I strongly disagree with this proposed bill. I believe that by raising the age requirement, the government is restricting teenagers and students in several different ways. A…
