Skarie ACE Debate

They say that the driving age should be changed to 18 because 16 year old kids are inexperienced. But I disagree. I disagree because if they did change the driving age, they wouldn't change the inexperience. If they changed the age because of inexperience that would only mean that 18 year old kids would have the same inexperience that the 16 year old kids. If they changed the driving age to 18 because of inexperience they wouldn't be helping the problem they would just delay the person’s death by 2 years because either way they would still be inexperienced.

The driving age should stay the same because teens need the ability to drive just like adults do. They need the ability to drive to important things like a job or an interview, or school to get a good job and a happy career. They also need it for being social like hanging out with friends or go to the sporting event that they’re in.

I believe that the driving age should stay the same. The driving age should stay the same because the people who have raised the driving age believe that just because of your birth date, you are dangerous and must be punished by taking away your ability to drive even when you have done nothing wrong or possibly never touched the wheel.

Not all 18 or 16 year old kids think that a car is a weapon. There are many 16 and even 15 fifteen year old kids that know that a car is not a weapon. That proves that maturity doesn't depend on age, it depends on the person.Also there have also been plenty of accidents because of 22 year old people, which means that there are 22 year old immature people just like immature 18 year old people, so changing the driving age wouldn't change anything. That is why the driving age should stay at 16 because maturity doesn't depend on the age, it depends on the person.

The driving age shouldn't be changed because just because other 16 year old drivers have crashed and died, doesn't mean that those who haven't died and know how to drive's licence should be taken away too. How would you feel if you are the perfect driver and then some random guy comes to your door and says that you have to give up your license until age 18 when you have done nothing wrong.

I believe that the driving age should stay at 16. They say that the driving age should be changed to 18 because their brain isn't as developed as 16 year old kids. But I disagree. I disagree because your brain is not fully developed until age 20, so there would still be some parts of the brain that are still not fully developed, if the driving age was changed to 18. Also, studies show that people start to drink at age, about, 18 which would mean there would be inexperienced, drunk, drivers causing more car crashes and deaths than ever before. I have found this evidence by studying "Driving Age Should Not Be Raised" by A.J. Rox.
