Introduction: Licensed teen drivers are more likely to be involved in a serious crash than adults that are somewhat older or middle aged drivers. Research shows that more than 40% of deadly car crashes that occurs between the ages of 16 and 17 are a result of the driver having one or more fellow teenage passengers, most frequently the other passenger or passengers were the same gender and around the same age as the driver. Most of the car crashes were due to; alcohol use, late night driving or…

happen whether or not your teen took driver education or not. Robertson and Zador introduced a study shown in 1978 that concluded, “the people who had had driver education can plausibly be assumed to be the same as those who would have obtained a license without driver education.” (962). I must agree with you; driver education creates no positive impact when it comes down to teen crash rates. No matter the education it’s bound to happen. A more recent study found in 2013 says, “there is little…

As he is trying to find his place in the world, the employees of the DMV selflessly deny Hans that privilege. For Hans, obtaining a driver 's license is a gateway for him to create his American Dream. As Hans searches for his particular American Dream, he self-consciously detaches himself from his family and his wife, Rachel, scolds him stating, "You 've abandoned me, Hans '... I don 't know why…

I wonder if ageism plays a key in situations like these? Society views ‘older adults’ in such a negative light it is difficult to know if driving should be apart of their lives. After reading the New York Times article provided for us, it seems the general consensus in our society is that all older adults should succumb to ‘their physical frailty’. Elderly are more likely to be injured in an accident and more likely to die of that injury. My question is, if the aging population is forced to…

“The bottom line is that when we look at the research, raising the driving age saves lives”, Adrian Lund said, president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Currently, the legal driving age is 16 in most states, some people feel that the legal driving age should be changed to at least 18. Nonetheless, it has to be taken into consideration the “side effects” of raising the driving age. By keeping teens from driving, they would only become less responsible and more dependable on their…

Is the age of 16 safe to start driving and have a license? States have been deciding if they should increase the driving age. This choice is highly unnecessary because you can help your parents with important things, you can drive to school, and you can drive to work. I have disagreed with the choice of increasing the driving age from 16 to 18 because already by the age of 16 a lot of people take care of handling important adult responsibilities. Some 16 year olds have parents that make them…

Should the minimum driving age be raised to 18? The driving age should be raised to 18 because for teens safety. The driving age should be raised to a higher age like 18 because teens text on their phones while they are driving that puts them in danger and others. When teens get in a car wreck the number of car wrecks increases. Teens are not ready to drive because they go to party’s and drink then they drive drunk and that will lead them into a car wreck. Most teens want a car…

After reviewing the driving handbook I found the statistics crazy. When teens get their licenses I think they don’t have the knowledge that more experienced drivers have. When teenagers drive they tend to not have the knowledge to correct their mistakes. One adult statistic is the number one for death to an adult, is speeding %42. I also think this is a mistake to, because when drivers think they have more experience they think they can drive faster and take more risky chances. What I noticed…
