I disagree, because the drinking age is 21, so then eighteen year olds can't be drinking alcohol, and it would make a difference because eighteen year olds know better than younger ages.

I disagree, because people who are eighteen have a better responsibility than sixteen year olds. Also eighteen year olds would understand to not be distracted by their cellphones and space out while driving down the roads unlike people who are younger than eighteen.

I agree with Morgan, because parents are always worried about their children and they should always know where they're going, but then if they do drive to places they will end up texting and driving or calling their parents while they are on their way to school or something and letting them know where they are. Also having parents drive their children to places isn't such a bad idea.

I think we should raise the driving age because more accidents occur when people are at a younger age. I believe that teenagers sixteen-seventeen are more likely to get into more car crashes than people who are eighteen-nineteen and have already was more educated than the people who are sixteen and will take it more seriously. Also for both men and women, drivers aged 16 to 19 years of age have the highest average annual crash and traffic violation rates of any other age group. Also teenagers are more likely to space out and not concentrate on what their doing than concentrating on driving, because now these days we have electronics and that's typically what all teenagers worry about now and it distracts them from driving.

I also think that we should raise the driving age, because of the lack of training the students get before they actually take the driving test. However, according to Alexander Sostarecz he sometimes notices how bad teen drivers are when they are pulling out of their driveway, or pulling out a a parking lot at school, and he wonders how they got their license when they drive so recklessly. Many teenagers never realize that their hand-eye coordination skills aren't developed yet, and they end up getting into accidents. The biggest problem of sixteen, seventeen, or younger is the use of a cellphone. Teenagers are always so worried about what they get for a text than what they should be focusing on the road. Although there has been many campaigns to stop texting and driving, yet teenagers don't care about that and go ahead with still texting and driving.

I think that they don’t get as much experience before actually taking the test, because all they do is learn and take tests and have to remember how to do it, but they never actually experience driving until they have the test.

I think we should move the driving age up to at least eighteen or twenty one, because teens are still irresponsible at 16 than they would be at an older age such as at least eighteen. Teenagers can cause many more accidents than people who are older than sixteen or seventeen year olds. Teenager shouldn't be placed in this kind of situation before they even start smoking or drinking, even though they only choose to do those kind of things.

I know some teenagers would go out driving out in the night and during the day and could end up getting pulled over by police and end up not having their license and end up getting a ticket for not having their license and speeding or something other than that.
