teens too young? Should the teen driving age be raised? Based on many studies and statistics, raising the driving age for teens is a valid argument. An auto safety group is calling on states to raise the age of eligibility to receive a driver's license to 17 or even 18, as they are attempting to prevent fatal accidents and preserve the lives of our adolescents.

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…

the age of 16-20 is driving deaths. Teenagers are already drinking by the time they reach the age of 18. Legalizing it would mean that teenagers would be more responsible about where and when they are drinking. Teens get a Graduated Drivers License (GDL) at the age of 15 and a half, and then they have to prove that they are ready to handle driving by themselves and…

now, restrictions placed on your driver’s licenses are from the examiner’s findings and recommendations. The examiner will review the results of a driving and vision test. They also must take the individual’s circumstances into consideration. The most common restriction’s placed on elderly’s license as of today are no freeway driving, driving only allowed from sunrise to sunset, and specific time of day restriction.

An estimated 20,000lives have been saved in the past twenty-five years, but yet politicians are not wanting to budge on the driving age in the United States. It is estimated that triple the number of lives saved due to the change in drinking age will be saved if the driving age was to be raised.
