Bertrand's ACE Debate

Teens are old enough to start learning about it and feeling more educated around the same age they get their license. If they wait they will have a higher risk of getting fired from their job because they didn't have a ride. In the summer I guess they could walk but what about in the winter when it's below 0? Therefore the driving age should stay the same.

Accidents can be caused by many reasons. They are adults who have there license and mange to get into accidents and injure others. And if there are accidents that are happening in the same spot it is probably not the drivers fault if it's happening over and over again. Therefore should get looked into.

If teens don't get their license until they are older how is that going to make them ready? Either way they aren't going to be 100% ready and it's just a delay of death. So what's the difference if they are young and inexperienced and older and inexperienced.

People say that the driving age should be raised but I disagree more many reasons. One of those reasons are that it doesn't change anything. If people are worried about young kids dieing because of inexperienced what is the difference if they die older and inexperianced? It's just delaying the time they die. And another problem people have with this argument is young teens dieing of drunk driving. But once you think about teens are legally aloud to drink at the age 21. So if they are getting their license the same time they are starting to drink that could actually be a bigger problem.One more reason is that because teens are getting older there will be more things they need to get done outside of school. And if there parents can't take them who will? Kids will start getting jobs by then and that is how most kids make money for collage. Therefore I think that the age for driving should not be raised and should stay the same for those reasons.
