Synthesis Essay On Drinking And Driving

The big 16! You finally get to drive by yourself, and go places without your parents in the passenger seat. Today many teens are very immature while driving. Many teens text, read, or drink while driving. When teens are doing these activities while trying to drive, they may run off the road, flip the car, or even kill themselves or others. Teens think,” I don’t have to pay for the damage, so it doesn’t really matter.” It does matter though. The authors of the two passages “Reader Supports Teen Driving Bill,” and “ Driving Laws,” think alike in some ways. One way that the authors think alike is they both talk about people wrecking their cars and getting hurt. “Teens make up only 7 percent of U.S. drivers, but in the crashes studied, an astounding 25 percent of the people who died were teens.” This statement comes from the passage “Reader Supports Teen Driving Bill.” “And the problem of fatal elderly crashes is expected to grow because by 2024, one in four U.S. drivers will be over age 65, according to the National Older Driver Research and Training Center.” This statement comes from the passage “Unfair Driving Laws.” These two statements support the claim that the two authors of these passages think alike because both of these statements talk about people crashing their cars and getting
hurt. The authors are both thinking about the idea that people do get in wrecks. The authors of these two passages also think differently about teens driving.
One way that these two authors think differently is the author of “Reader Supports Teen Driving Bill,” thinks that teens are not prepared to drive.

driving. In conclusion, the authors of the two passages think alike on some of the details about teens driving, and they also think differently on teens driving. One author thinks that teens should not be allowed to drive, but the other author thinks that teens should be allowed to drive. Many teens these days are not careful when driving.
