It’s better that 16 year old start driving at a 16 because they will learn to be responsible. When they learn to be responsible, they start to lean how to act like a grown up instead of a teen. They would also start getting treated like an adult. For an example, if they crash their car they should get to pay the insurance because they crashed the car, not their parents

Teens do tend to text and drive, but a lot of them are smarter than to do that. There have been a lot accidents caused by teens who text and drive, but think of those who follow the speed limits and don't text and drive.

Raising the driving age is a bad idea! Raising the driving age will just create more inexperienced drivers. At age 18 there would be a lack of experience by 2 years. Also at age 18 there becoming adults and they're most likely to start drinking.

You have a good point, but if the driving age would get raised to 18, the 18 year olds would lack two years of experience and would get into more accidents. It's not really about the age, but it's about how much experience the person has, and at 16 you would get two more years of experience.

Raising a pet isn't getting you ready to take on adult responsibilities as much as a car would, but maintaining a car at age 16 will get you more prepared for taking on adult responsibilities. Saving money for a car and maintenance will better prepare you for adulthood than taking care of a pet.

I think the driving age should stay the same because 16 year old's should take on the responsibility. I think that they should take on responsibility because they are becoming young adults and they need to learn how to take care of a car (like paying insurance, and making sure it's clean.) While 18 year old's are most likely in college or are getting ready for college, they won't have time to take drivers ed, they would too busy with homework and they wont have time to learn how to drive. Also, 16 year old's need to start acting like they're young adults, not rowdy teenagers. Taking care of a car would show that 16 year old's are mature and can handle becoming an adult.
