Well to move the age i think the only benefit would be there would be less injuries and less kids being killed in a crash. witch is a very good thing..
But there are things that it would hurt... like the economy. Less cars being sold. Less parts for the cars being sold. less gas being sold. less cars in the body shops being fixed. less taxes for the roads,
That in itself will provide so many jobs and money to support the family.
I think instead of moving the age.. there needs to be more training, and make it harder for the kids to get the license. so that you have to actually know how to drive.. also there should be a curfew on how long you can stay out and drive until your 18.. so that there not driving home at midnight.. hopefully not drunk at midnight.. |

These are the facts for the current driving age.........
NOVEMBER 2008
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among 15- to 20-year olds.
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, 3,490 drivers in this age group died in motor vehicle crashes in 2006 and an additional 272,000 were injured.
Drivers age 15- to 20-years old accounted for 12.9 percent of all the drivers involved in fatal crashes and 16 percent of all the drivers involved in police-reported crashes.
Twenty-five percent of teen drivers killed were intoxicated. In 2006 (latest data available) crashes involving 15 to 17 year olds cost more than $34 billion nationwide, in medical costs, property damage and other costs, according to an AAA analysis.
Among licensed drivers, young people between the ages of 15 and 20 have the highest rate of fatal crashes relative to other age groups, including the elderly.
In fact, the risk of being involved in a fatal crash for teens is three times greater than for drivers age 65 to 69.
Immaturity and lack of driving experience are the two main factors leading to the high crash rate among teens. |
