"If you don’t teach 16 year olds how to drive later they will not be more experienced." "18 year olds are more likely to drink than 16 year olds," both by Driving age should not be raised. My 2nd reason is Parents may not have the time to drive. If a 16 year old needs to get home and can’t drive then then a parent needs to pick them up and sometime they can’t because they are busy Driving age should not be raised, by Driving age should not be raised. Also Amy Pfeiler has been the family chauffeur for a long time, driving her kids to everything from sports practices and voice lessons to after-school jobs. But with her youngest child finally on the verge of getting a license, she can see the end in sight, by Raise driving age? Parents not thrilled, By John Keilman and Grace Aduroja. They might say they are Irresponsible but I say they are just as responsible. 16 year olds are actually more competent than 18 year olds, says Driving age should not be raised. most teens demonstrate the maturity and knowledge of safety on the road, says Do you think the driving age should be raised? So the next time your 16 year old wants a drivers license or a car remember this argument, and you will see that 16 is the right time to drive.
