Exactly, they're missing out on a lot if they don't get to drive. Like jobs, and if they don't have jobs they won't know the value of hard working.

Not just teenagers experience those things. People over the age of 18 are more likely to drive drunk. Teenagers aren't the only irresponsible ones.

But, not everyone does that. We just have to be careful of who we give license to.

I agree! Just because some people have been irresponsible, doesn't mean everyone has.

I agree with Kayla. Why should all 16 year old be punished if only a couple of them are being irresponsible. We are putting labels on them without giving them a chance.

Then, teenagers don't get to experience anything, or any responsibility.

According to Alex Koroknay-Palicz, men are 77% more likely to be in a car accidents than women, does that mean we should only let women drive. Of course not, raising the driving age isn't taking away very much danger.

I agree, and if you have your own job, you would want to drive there.

If that doesn't stop people from running lights and drunk driving now, why would it stop them if we raise the driving age?

But, there will be a jump in drunk driving and texting behind the wheel if we move the age to 18.

According to Alex Koroknay-Palicz, raising the driving age isn't going to help irresponsible drivers. Speeding will still be a problem, and there will be more drunk drivers and running red lights.

I agree, teenagers need to learn how to be responsible. If they don't have there license now, they're less likely to get a job when their 16, and they'll be less responsible.
