Bertrand's ACE Debate

I disagree. I disagree because you are pretty much saying that if a 16 year old gets in a crash, 16 year olds can't drive anymore. If your neighbor robs a bank, should you go to jail? No. If your classmate gets in a crash, should you get your drivers license taken away? No. Alex Koroknay-Palicz from the National Youth Rights Association says that people shouldn't be blamed for other people's actions.

That could happen but not always. If the age limit was raised to 18, then that person wouldn't have any experience. But if the driving age stays the same, then people can have an extra year of being responsible and being able to go wherever they want. Again, if the age limit stays the same, teens get two extra years with more experience to drive.

I agree because A. J. Rox from CNN said that news drivers at the age of 18 have a better chance to get in an accident that involves injuries than any other age. Also, stated by Alex Koroknay-Palicz of the National Youth Rights Association said that experience may matter more than age when it comes to driving safely. Another reason I think the age limit should not be raised is because even though 16 year olds might get in crashes sometimes, doesn't mean that they need to raise limit.

The driving age limit should not be raised to 18 years old. I think that because stated by Alex Koroknay-Palicz from the National Youth Rights Association, young teens need cars for transportation. Teens go a lot of places and I'm sure their parents don't want to drive them everywhere they want to go. Also, cars are a big mobility in this county, so if you take it away, that is a huge disruption to the lives of teenagers. Young teens should also have more responsibility and a car is a huge responsibility to have. Knowing that, it is a good thing for young teens. Also it is good for them to develop the responsibility when they are young.

The driving age limit should not be raised to 18 years old.
