Isn't the safety of others more important. In 2003, there were 937 drivers aged 16, all 937 of those drivers were involved in a fatal car crash. In the fatal car crashes 411 of the 16-year old's died, and 352 of their passengers were killed. According to http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/ “Sixteen-year-old drivers are involved in fatal crashes at a rate nearly five times the rate of drivers 20 or older.” I think its time we stop hurting 16 year old's and others.

They say that parents don't want to drive their kids to places or they can’t, but I say that kids lives are way more important. Being 16 isn't that old, they have barely lived a life. Why would you want to take that away from them. Anyways they can ride the bus, get a taxi, ride a bike. Also traffic accidents are the leading cause of death forAmericann teenagers based on ⅓ of 16 year old age group. http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/ States that “The new brain research suggests that a separate factor is just as crucial: maturity. A new 17- or 18-year-old driver is considered safer than a new 16-year-old driver, because of the maturity level.” I think we should raise the driving age because the brain is just more developed.

I think that we should increase the driving age. I think this because there is more accidents. 16 year old drivers have more accidents per highway than any other group of people. According to http://usatoday30.usatoday.com “On average, two people die every day across the USA in vehicles driven by 16-year-old drivers. One in five 16-year-old's will have a reported car crash within the first year.”
