Teens and Driving: Should the Driving Age Be Raised?

When your mom tells you for the 4th time that she’s too tired to drive you to the mall, don’t you wish for the day you turn 16, get your license, and are able to drive yourself anywhere you want to go? Well, that may not happen. State lawmakers in the US are now finding that car crashes are the leading causes of death for teens, and are now debating over whether to raise the driving age to 17 or even 18. What do you think? Should the state driving age be raised?

    I agree with you many 16 year kids do die from car crashes because they are not yet ready for the responsiblity of a car.
