I have chose this topic due to the serous road accidents that been happening in Australia involving young teens .Teenagers own about 45% of Australia’s road accidents , death rates of young teenagers have increased this is because some teenagers are growing up way to quick why ? As a result of this teenagers have been receiving there licence way too early at the age of 16. Teenagers then start to “think” big of themselves once they get there red Ps suddenly they start speeding , drag racing , and this is where death rates and injuries start to increase because the lack of carelessness , immaturity thinking they have finally become ruthless
In contradicting to what i said some teenagers are very responsible and mature they know how to drive responsibly without letting peer pressure get to them. Some teenagers need to get their license around the age of 16 due to having single parents that are not able to pick them up or drop them off from school or sport training programs such as, soccer, and tennis .Travelling maybe difficult for some teens this maybe because of the location of their school or work places may cause them to be late for travelling distance may be too far for them to reach this may also add alot of pressure on the child.

But would you allow a 17-year-old to drive a car? We've all been right behind it, for many years: or at least, no one I know has been
