Mrs. Hagmann's Ace Debate

experience is the main cause of car wrecks for teens.If we change the minimum age to eighteen, they will have just the same amount of experience, (Learning for approximately a year and a half before license) age plays no factor into this. Yes, there can be others such as media distractions, peer passenger distractions etc. But most of the time, a sixteen year old could have just as much discernment as an eighteen year old. There will, of course, be irresponsible sixteen year olds, but there will also always be irresponsible eighteen year olds too.

Teens need to be more responsible , and shouldn't always rely on their parents to drive them everywhere, your parents aren't you chauffeur.

In 2008 there were more than 37,000 people killed on highways and more than a hundred people died every day because the Teenagers are being too irresponsible by running red lights. Teens are also getting way too distracted by talking on the phone and texting on the phone while behind the wheel.

Teenagers need to be able to drive themselves to there jobs instead of relying on there parents

Parents are too busy to drive there 16 year old's to the mall or to meet with friends.
