Raising the driving age isn't gonna do anything. Even if you're like 24 and just started to drive you're still gonna get into accidents because you don't have any practice. Everyone needs to start somewhere.

Without a way to get around most teens would probably rather stay home than go out either because they don't want to get embarrassed or bother their parents with the need to go out and hang with friends. They need to have actual social time with their peers. Other then they would become used to being antisocial and loss the manners they had/have to interact with other people.

Nothing is gonna really stop what happens on a highway. If they don't want to get into a accident the driver should find a way to go around and avoid the highway. Or the government should do something to fix that.

I believe that the driving age should not be raised because, no matter how high you put the age, people are still gonna get in accidents because they don't have practice. So it really doesn't matter if you're 18 or 16 for driving.
