Skarie ACE Debate

I meant to go look at collages sorry and not all parents would want to take their kids to look at collages and to work.

I disagree strongly, because 18 year olds are getting to the age were they think they want to drink and drive. Most 16 year olds are very responsible and need to get around for... work and school. Most parents don't want to drive their kids around and if they had a car that would make them MORE responsible due to the fact that they would have to put in gas and keep their car clean. So having a car would make them more responsible at 16 than 18. Also 18 year olds would already have the teachings of being responsible for their car for 2 years.

16 year olds have a much more focused mind rather than someone who is 18. (www.debate.org)

- The driving experience of an 18 year old is much different from a 16 year old, because a 16 year old might do better when driving if he or she has had more experience.

- 16 year olds have more free time to drive. 18 year olds are either working full time or are off to start college and won’t have time to go to drivers ed.

- 16 year olds can obtain more advice on how to drive better rather than an 18 year old who thinks they’re always right and nothing can be fixed about how they drive.

For all those reasons I feel the driving age shouldn't be raised to 18 and should stay at 16.

Although this is true not all teens take risks. Some can and most likely will be safe drivers. Also just because a few bad teens make bad decision doesn't mean all teens should loose their licenses.

I think the driving age should stay at 16 because not all teens can get to... work or to collage if they don't have their licenses.
