Insurance Businesses talk about rising the driving age will decrease the number of teenage deaths and crashes but doesn’t mean there won’t be accidents and crashes, besides if the law states that at the age 18 they are considered adults it’s not really teen accidents its considered just accidents. If the state increases the driving our then there will be more driving experience for the teen and hopefully less crashes and the road.…
I’m sure there are parents out there who don’t agree with raising the driving age to eighteen. They might think that this is a bad thing because they might need help running errands like going to get groceries or getting their younger siblings from activities they might’ve had. But in the end, would you really want your kid to be going onto the road not as educated about driving at sixteen, or waiting and driving when they are ready at eighteen? They will be more responsible, mature, and raising the age limit could be helpful to the teenagers life and…
On this personal issue i do not agree with changing the minimum driving age. Many teens look forward to getting to drive. It wouldn't be the right thing to do. No i don't think the minimum driving age should be changed. If are legislature changed the minimum driving age we would have to have a lot more transportation for schools. Students wouldn't be aloud to drive to school. If are legislature changed the driving age they would be taking away the only freedom they have. It would also be hard for parents to get there kids from after school activity's. Some parents need there kids to be able to run places for them lick picking up siblings. They also may need them to go to the store to pick things up for them. They…
In my response the driving age should not be raised. This concern has been a problem then and still is today. The Driving age should not be raised , one reason is 16 or 17 year olds drive everywhere in case of emergencies , for work , school and we shouldn’t take that away from them. If the 16 year old or 17 year old are trying to drive they at least should have a permit and should require it so that if they get stopped by a patrolling officer they know if they have the privilege to drive or not and should get fine if they are caught without a permit. It’s important to learn how to drive at an early age because it can really help if their is some type of emergency throughout the family and they need to drive to the hospital or a parent can’t drive anymore and needs to be driven.…
Many have disagreed that the minimum driving age should be raised from 16 to 18. It should stay at 16. There are many advantages to driving at an age younger than 18. Various teenagers are unable to participate in extracurricular activities due to no available way to get to and from the activity, teens are able to get jobs and need a way of transportation without depending so much on their parents, and numerous high school graduates are younger than 18 or just turned 18.…
First thing Sunday morning, you go in the kitchen and open up the newspaper. Once again the front page reads, "High School Students Killed" or " Teen Loses Control". Why? Another car accident. The truth is the number of deaths and accidents caused by 16 year olds every day is astonishing. I believe the only way to stop the rising epidemic is to raise the driving age, implement a rewards program, and increase parental involvement.…
Lowering the driving age would minimise the amount of stress that is put on parents and the young adult, as there is so much stress on parents, as they are having to get everyone to everywhere on time, but also get themselves to places on time. Which does not allow time for a parent to have time for themselves (especially for a parent whom parents alone). For the adolescent who is not relying on others, will make them have more responsibilities and can be taken more accountable for their own action in…
For sixteen years, teenagers look forward to the day they get the ultimate freedom: driving, but with this freedom there comes risks. Every day another life is lost to teen driving. Along with risking their lives, teenagers are also not mentally prepared to handle the consequences that could come with driving. They are not only putting their life at risk, but the lives of others. No mother or father wants to bury their child, and this would be less likely if the driving age was raised. The legal driving age should be raised to save lives and have more mature drivers on the road.…
Teenage accident rates and mortality rates have increased dramatically over the years. Nothing that the parents do and law enforces will protect the teens all the time, especially from themselves. Teenagers do not realize the responsibility that comes with driving. They are often distracted with other things such as texting while driving. Most importantly, parents always worry about the safety of their kids on the road. Some people may say that the driving age should stay at the age of 16; however, raising the driving age to 18 will create safer and more responsible drivers. Firstly, teenagers are very careless. In addition, increasing the minimum driving age will allow teenagers more time to get comfortable with driving. Finally, the number of fatal accidents will be reduced. Therefore, the minimum driving age should be raised from 16 to 18.…
Changing the minimum age for driving will change people’s lives drastically. Many teens who look forward to driving when they turn 16, will be forced to rely on their parents to get around for 2 more years. Most parents don’t have the time to drive their kid everywhere they need to go, which, will make teens less likely to get a job. Teens will be given less responsibility at a younger age so they won’t be as responsible when they turn 18. I believe that changing the minimum driving age from 16 to 18 will not benefit as many people as leaving it the same.…
A great percentage of car accidents nowadays, are caused by young drivers, who are not ready yet to have the power of driving a car. It is dangerous to have a place where young reckless drivers do not know the importance of attetion needed when driving a vehicle. The driving age in United States should be changed to eighteen, to avoid young people to take a too big responsibility early in life.…
First of all, it hard for us teen to be going out to places on their own, especially if you are playing in a sport that requires staying after school for practices. I remember, when I used to go to public school, I was in a soccer team. And everyday I would need a ride from school to home, usually I would walk and that take almost 2 hour. So raising the driving age will just cause tons more of issues for teenagers who are in extra curriculum that need a ride home after school.…
Because of safety concerns, many states have increased the age at which teens can begin to drive. Some teenagers at the age of 16 are responsible. Some 16 year olds are irresponsible. Also, all 18 year olds are not responsible and able to drive the correct way. The state legislature should not raise the minimum age from 16 to 18 because some 16 year olds have a job and need transportation, a few may not like to depend on individuals to drive them back and forth, and many teenagers like to do their own things and not always with their parents.…
According to the Healthresearchfunding.org site, there are fewer drunk driving traffic accidents and fatalities in many countries with a minimum drinking age of 18. This is a statistic which is supporting lowering the drinking age. This is showing how there is a drop in numbers of people who are involved in drunk driving accidents because their drinking age is 18. When you lower the drinking age, it makes the urge and temptation of alcohol not as high. When they are able to start drinking at a younger age, they are able to learn how to maintain a healthy balance of the substance. Also, when something is so readily available to them there is not as high as a craving for it. Lowering the drinking age while raising the driving age also gives…
Yes, because there are teenagers out there that are more mature behind the wheel then some adults I know. Age does not matter, maturity does. • For today's students study related commuting needs, 16 to 18 year teens are authorised to drive non-geared, less than 100 cc two wheelres only, with the consent of parents/guardians. They will be authorised/upgraded to drive vehicles with gear on attaining 18 years, on subsequent appearing and clearing concerned tests by RTO. • Most of the roads inside the cities in India are already crowded with lot of vehicles. To add more woes, if all teenagers were given license, it would prompt more vehicles to go around the cities. This would add to more fuel consumption at the overall nation level and would also contribute to carbon emission and add to more pollution. Handling the vehicles is too risky at a younger age, as most of the teens would be fearless and would be speeding up, eventually causing more accidents. Its the age which would prompt them to be more adventours and will involve trying out more dangerous acts using vehicles, as they would be inspired by that which is shown in movies. Everything has certain age and after 18 any how one would be free to drive throughout their life time. Till then the teens can afford to use public transport or vehicles in schools or accompany their parents or elders, while they want to go out, which will be much safer and also contribute to a cleaner environment (less vehicles plying on road). • minors should not be granted driving license due to the following reasons: 1) high rates of accidents…
