I forgot to mention that I got the above information from John M Crisp.

I don't agree with that because you can walk or bike places or get rides from your friends. For school events they usually have buses or you could just stay after school. There is a bigger concern with innocent kids dying. According to John M Crisp most texting and driving accidents are from 16-year olds.

I think that the driving age should be raised because the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says 16 year old kids have more accidents per highway mile than any other age group. You may say that raising the age to 18 would be just as bad because they know how to drive just as well but 16 year old kids have more accidents than anyone else, including 18 year olds.

I agree with that because even though the teenagers might not be doing the texting, they could be receiving text messages and reading them causing them to get in accidents.

I believe that the driving age should be raised. 16 year old kids are just too young and there is too many of them dying because of driving. We don't want to give kids guns and weapons but we are giving them a weapon by giving them a car.
