What do you think about driving age? It is good for teens under 16 to drive or not?

According to Holland, S. There are legitimate reasons for allowing teens to drive including: Getting back and forth to school, a job, and activities. Also They against teens under 16 can’t driving. Noted researcher Holland S argues that drivers 19 and younger have a higher risk of being in a car crash than older drivers.

Driving age is important to teens because they would not think about how drive is danger to them. “An influential automotive safety group called on states to raise the age of their driving licenses to 17 or even 18. But that car crashes are the leading cause of death among teenagers. Also males teens are twice as likely as female teens to be in a fatal crash.” It means they will improve the driving because teens driving is a reason why every year died a lot of people.

“Every car on the roads is an accident waiting to happen. More than 5,000 U.S. teens die each year in car crashed. The rate of crashes, fatal and nonfatal, per mile driven for 16-year-old drivers is almost 10 times the rate for drivers ages 30 to 59, according the National Highway Safety Administration. Teens under 16 can’t driving because it is dangerous for them and they don’t have ability to solve when that car crashes happen.” It means there are more than 5,000 teens died each year. Also teens driving is more than old driver.

According to Koch & Brim. Koch & Brim LLP is a Las Vegas personal injury law firm specializing in big results for their clients. It shows Inexperience and immaturity are the primary causes of the increased risk of teenage driving. Speeding and tailgating is more likely with teenage drivers, and 39% of 2010 fatal crashes that involved teen male drivers were attributed to speeding. Also distracted driving is becoming a national pandemic, especially mobile technology at your fingertips. When it comes to distracted driving, young drivers aged 16–19 are the age groups most likely to talk and text on cell phones.

Although some argue for teens under 16 can driving, other argue for teens under 16 can’t driving. In my view is teens under 16 can’t driving because it is very danger when you driving. Also car accidents are the number one cause of death among teenagers. Teens ages 16–19 are three times more likely to be involved in a fatal car crash than drivers over 20 years old.

Teens under 16 can’t driving because there are many bad things for teens. There are have teens died each year the car crash. So it is a bad way to let them driving. Teens have to save their life. You can’t listen music, play with phone, drunk driving… when they driving.
