Although most people would disagree, I think that the driving age should not be risen for two reasons. One reason I feel this way is because after so many years of having the driving age the way it is, there is no valid reason to change it now. The driving age was changed to 16 so that the blood alcohol limit for under-20s would be decreased to 0. Parliament also felt that it would strengthen the restricted license test. Another reason I disagree with the age change is that I do not want to have to wait any longer.…

Why the driving age should not be raised Driving is a big art of maturing and growing as an individual. State governments are pushing for the driving age to be raised to eighteen, but there is no reason for this.

Generally, sixteen year olds are unfairly judged as irresponsible and not attentive enough to drive.…
Teens must know how to be responsible and “self-regulate” on their own. Teens need experience in order to learn, and raising the minimum driving age prevents teens from getting much needed experience at a younger age.

I definitely don’t think the minimum age should be raised. Sixteen is more than old enough for a mature person to drive a vehicle. If a person is not mature or they can’t drive safely enough, then they don’t pass the test, no matter how old they are. We should do this because there are some kids that aren’t…

Teens get way to distracted by it so they would text…
I believe that raising the driving age limit would hinder our young teens. For most they depend on getting their license at their age for several of reasons. This will make it to where they have the freedom to go as they please and have that freedom. While some young teens do not care if it is raised cause either way they still get to drive. Some adults say, that in raising the driving age will make it to where their will be less accidents on the road; however, that might be true to some degree some students need it for a job others to go to school, or even to be able to move out on their own.…
Should the Driving Age Be Lowered? Did you know that 71 percent of tweens have an interest in cars? Although they may be fascinated by the machines they cannot own or drive one of their own for around six more years. Why have them wait?

Teenagers are not mature enough and this is the first reason why driving age should be raised. Teenagers wait for a long time to drive and when they finally be 18 and can drive they do crazy things like driving very fast which is unsafe thing for them and for other drivers on the road. Letting the teenagers drive in early age would increase the number of car accidents. As it is mentioned 5000 teenagers dies every year from car accidents. Teenagers are not matured enough to…
