This article talks about whether or not teens should drive, its also about what happens letting 16 year old teens drive as far as car crashes and how its really effective and not safe. Most people think that 16 year olds shouldn't be allowed to drive.
In the passage it says "the institutes 17-page report collects research on the minimum driving age from the United States and countries that have higher licensing ages." its also says " the research shows states are making progress in reducing the No.1 killer teens-motor vehicle crashes-through graduated driver licensing. The laws ease restrictions on teen drivers as they gain experience and keep a clean driving record." So they basically want to change the fact that they can drive.
I think that teens shouldn't be able to drive at the age 16, even though I'm going to be 16 soon and anxious about driving I'm not going to agree that it should be allowed. Most 16 year olds are still immature and they don't know how to act in a car full of friends they want to play around alot and prove points to their friends. Some teens aren't yet responsible they drink and drive causing accidents, things that could be prevented.
There was a time when one of my twin brothers which is 16 years of age stole my aunt car. They thought it was cool they went driving around picking up they little friends. They decided to drive down south-Philly my brother got pulled over for speeding and he tried to out run them and ended up crashing the car.
This article gave me a better understanding I thought that driving was going to be an amazing thing but, it's not worth my life. It helped me understand how safe its not.
What do you think? Do you think 16 year olds should drive? Do you think its worth it? Let me know what you think. I think they should higher the age to receive a licenses and drive.
