5,000 teens in the age group 16 to 20 die each year from car
accidents. These accidents would have been prevented if the driving age was
higher. I think the driving age of 16 should be raised to age 20. It should be
raised to 20, because at that age people are more mature than at age 16. If the
driving age was raised to 20, teens would have 4 extra years’ experience. Also,
statistics show that teens are the highest risk group to get into car
accidents.
The
legal age for driving should be raised to 20 because of experience. If students
start learning to drive at age 16, they’re in a rush to start driving and only
have a couple of months to learn. I believe teens should at least get a couple
of years of practice. That way they can learn way more than in just a couple
months. Furthermore, learning that much in a certain amount of time cannot
register and teens are likely to forget certain important things.
If
teens are not old enough to smoke or vote, why would people think it would be
appropriate to drive with other lives at stake? For every mile driven, teens
between the ages 16-19 are four times more likely to be involved in a car
crash. A car crash kills a person every minute on an average in the United
States 400,000 teens in the age group 16-20 are injured each year.
I think
age 20 is the appropriate age for people to start driving. 16 year olds are not
matured enough to drive. The leading cause of driving accidents comes from age
16-19. At age 20, you are in college, have a job and are more focused on other
things than 16 year olds. Therefore, 20 year olds know much better and know
right from wrong in driving.
