Should The Driving Age Be 14 Do you think that the driving age should be lowered to 14 years old instead of 16? I think that 14 year olds have the things that you need to be a driver. Driving a car will increase your 14 year olds responsibilities when they are driving. On the road a 14 year old will be more prepared for things because of their better reaction time.Having their own job they would make their own money‚ but they could drive their car to

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 had the

Minimum Driving Age? Ever since automobiles were introduced to the general public‚ a minimum driving age has been a topic of controversy. For example‚ in the year 1909 in the state of Pennsylvania‚ the age was set for 18 to obtain a license. Fast-forward one-hundred and eight years later and the current Pennsylvania minimum age is 16.

A parent driving their kids around until they are 18 is unnecessary. That is why the driving age shouldn’t be raised. If the driving age limit is set at 16‚ then parents don’t have to stop what they are doing to bring their child to work or school. The child will also learn to be responsible at an early age.
