I. The Issue - Stating Your Position
Current Florida Law states that: To earn an operator's license, you must be at least 16 years old AND have held a learner's license for at least one year without any traffic convictions. Some people feel that the minimum age for earning a license should be raised to 18. For this project, you will take a side on this issue. You will either support the raising of the age to 18 or argue against it. Please complete the following activities based on the side you choose.
(If you would like to choose a different topic, please contact your teacher for approval.)
State your position in a clearly worded sentence here:
I honestly think that Kids under the age of 18 should not be allowed to get there license because of the fact that in the process of getting them that license they are pretty much being entitled the ability to drive a giant metal bullet that is known for its legendary amount of deaths here in the U.S.
