Yes, some research says it doesn't matter on how old you are but there is a lot of research that says it does. For example, New York senator says, "Teens should wait until they are 18 to drive."

Some people do think that the driving age should stay the way it is. Montgomery Blair High School's Online Student Newspaper, say people say accidents are caused by irresponsibility. Overall, I think the driving age should be raised
