You have good point bringing up that they are putting their life on the line but I still agree with the fact that the driving age should stay the same. You say that 16-year-olds are immature and can make the roads a dangerous place but according to The Herold (News Source) teens become more responsible when they start driving. "By the time teens are 16 they need to start taking some responsibilities on themselves, including personal transportation. If they have to wait until they are 17 or 18 to start to drive, they remain dependent on parents practically until they ready to go off to college, join the military or take a civilian job." Imagine you were the parent of an 18-year-old who needs a ride somewhere. You would not want to go and drive your child somewhere far away. When teens get their licence they are able to take on many responsibilities and can be trusted more. Therefore, I think the driving age should stay the same.
I think that the driving age should stay the same. The driving age should stay 16 because 16-year-old drivers crash mostly because of inexperience. If the driving age is raised then 18-year-olds will also crash because of inexperience. According to Dr. J Arnett from Clark University, risky behavior affects 16-17-year-old males just as much as it does males in their early 20's. This shows that if we raise the driving age to 18 there will still be many accidents, therefore, the driving age should stay the same.
I am probably a good person but I haven't taken the time to fill out my profile, so you'll never know! |
