If the driving age would be raise, how would it help? According to "Should the driving age be raised to 18?" "Raising the driving age will punish all young drivers for the mistakes of a few of their peers.” With that from that article why would they all have to be punished for the mistakes of their peers. If people are trying to be fair with this, that is not the way to go.

The driving age should not be raised, If we raise the driving age what will happen to all of the 16-17 year olds that drive now? Would there parents have to take them everywhere. According to the article "Driving age should not be raised"

”Kids would not get as many jobs, and, this could lead to less fast food restaurants, and kids not learning how to work hard.” This could lead to many places closing down because of not getting the workers that it needs. Another point on that, according to the article "Should the driving age be raised to 18?"

”Teens need the ability to drive as much as anyone else- to get to school, to get to work, to get to sports or band practice, or even just to go out with friends.”

The driving age should not be raised because parents don't know it but they will be effected by this as well. According to "Should the driving age be raised to 18?"

“Statistics also show that men of all ages are 77 percent more likely to kill someone while driving than women. If people want to save lives by raising the driving age, then how about saving lives by allowing only women to drive?” If we change the driving age parents will still have to drive their kids where ever they want to go. Another thing on that is “Studies show that it is inexperience, not age, that causes accidents.”
