I think the driving age should be changed to age 18.

They say that 16 year olds have a much more focused mined. I strongly disagree. A 16 year old, who has only just had their temps, and an 18 year old, who have only just had their temps, are not much different. The only difference is one's brain is more developed. If the driving age was changed to age 18 they would offer divers ed classes in colleges. Plus, divers ed is not a required class. You only need to pass the test. If you don't pass the test you don't drive. Finally, 18 year old and 16 year olds always think they are right. In that instance age doesn't make a difference!

I think the driving age should be raised to age 18.

They say the driving age should stay at age 16. But I disagree. I think the driving age should be raised to age 18 because there are so many distractions! Texting, eating, putting on make-up, talking on the phone, arguing with someone, taking your eyes off the road. All distractions that could possibly affect weather you’re going to get out of that car walking, or smashed. Maybe if phones were not allowed in the car some of these distractions could be eliminated but a lot of them are just from having other people in the car. When you're 18 your brain is more developed then a 16 year olds so you'll know how to deal wih these things more then before.

I believe the driving age should be changed to age 18.

They say that the driving age should stay at age 16. I disagree. Yes, you're right, your brain isn't fully developed by age 18 or 16. But, at age 18 your brain is more developed that a 16 year olds. Your hand eye coordination is 2 years quicker then when you were 16.

I think the driving age should be raised to age 18 because there is more risk for younge male drivers.

I think the driving age should be raised to age 18 because there is more risk for younge male drivers. Young male drivers between the ages of 17-20 are 7 times more at risk than the average male driver. So not only are they putting themselves in danger, they are putting those arounds them in danger. They are putting their life in danger.

I think the driving age should be raised to 18.

I think the driving age should be raised to 18 because studies have shown that your brain is not fully developed until age 25. This can result in a lack of concentration which can cause accidents. This also means that your hand eye coordination isn’t as fast as the 25 year old driving next to you. So when the roads get slippery and a little squirrel runs in front of you, you’ll be over the squirrel and in somebodys front yard.
