When you turn 18 you are old enough to fight and die for your country‚ vote‚ purchase cigarettes and get married. But at your wedding you wouldn’t even be able to participate in your own champagne toast.

If you get a GDL you still get the freedom and privileges‚ but they also gain more experience. I also believe this because raising the driving age just gives us more complications. Therefore I believe the GDL’s are safer‚ way better‚ and‚ more effective. My first reason id because waiting till you’re 18 doesn’t mean you have more experience it still the same

Here is why I believe you should be 18 to drive a car or a motor vehicle. Drivers under the age of 18 shouldn’t be driving. There are many reasons why the driving age should be raised. In 2009 drivers aged 15-24 were involved in 112 fatal traffic crashes. 755 were serious injury crashes. 15-23 year old drivers were at fault for 1.3 billion dollars. Teens are more likely to take risk with their friends looking on. Some teens have the emotional maturity of an adult twice his or her age. Drivers

has been argued that the legal drinking age in the United States should be lowered to 18 so that young adults are allowed to drink in certain environments. This argument has many sides which can be argued. At 18‚ you are considered an adult. You can vote‚ charged with adult crimes‚ and even die for your country‚ but you cannot consume alcohol. To me that is discriminating against people in the age group of 18-20. As of now‚ adults over 21 years old are allowed to drink in places such as restaurants

Should they raise the legal driving age to 18? I don’t think the legal driving age should be raised to 18. The reason I feel this way is‚ there are many flaws in the system and teens should not be stereotyped. There is no way to prove that the child drove the hours required by the department of transportation in order for the instructor to sign off on student’s course completion. The child is just as much fault as the parent(s) who filled it out. The child either didn’t feel like driving so they
