driving age should be raised, some say that it should not be raised to 18. The driving age should not be raised. There is many way and reasons to prove it. This is why the minimum driving age should not be raised. (ADTSEA says increase of driving age is an overreaction)Robinson.

When it comes to the legal age of a person who wants to consume an alcoholic beverage, the age limit should be raised. There are many factors on why the age limit of drinking should be raised. For instance, when we think about death caused by drinking, we think about it happening to a person who is underage; but that is not the case.

their own drinking age laws. Most states set their minimum legal drinking age (MLDA) to 21 except for two. When the legal voting age was lowered by the 26th amendment in 1971 from 21 to 18, many states began to lower the MLDA as well (Drinking Age ProCon.org).

The voting rate for the younger generation may be smaller than the…

Increasing the age of when teens can begin to drive would be unnecessary in my opinion. A reasons we should raise the age to 18 could be that some teen drivers are more mature at that age. Some people say there would be less wrecks if the age was raised but wrecks can just happen to anyone. Increasing the age is just a difficult situation because it's based on people's opinions. The age to be raised could be good for the cops if they were to pull a teen over, then they would treat them like a…
