No, driver's safety is the reason. Drivers under the age of 18 have an exorbitant amount of accidents. They simply are irresponsible drivers at that age. Statistics do not lie.

Againt raising the age to 18 for driving?
I am so against raising the driving age. That's not fair to others who have to wait and others got there when they were 16. Raising the driving age will not really prevent accidents , you can be any age and still be in an accident. Elders that are and certain age should not be able to drive because they not able to see and hear as well when they were younger. When your 16 , you have to get to work and to school , our parents cant drive us around for ever! We need to take responsibility right now than later. Everyone will should not have to wait because of whats others did.
Would raising the driving age to 21 lower the chances of accidents caused by young adults?

What are some arguments for or against raising the legal driving age to 18 or higher?
Many advocate raising the driving age to 18 and raising the age at which a driver can have a passanger to even higher than that. The idea is that since most fatalities are caused by drivers under 24 and most of them are among drivers under 18, raising the driving age would lower the traffic fatalities. Let's face it, younger drivers are more likely to be irresponsible behind the wheel especially when they have friends in the car with them. Who do you think would be more likely to participate in a street race; A 17 year old or a 35 year old? Okay see ur point but 35 year olds have usaully been driving since they were 16-17 so they should have more expirence and maturity 17 year olds have just started they will gain expirence. Raising the Legal Driving age does seem like a decent idea, but raising the minimum driving age doesn't necessarily mean our young drivers on the road will drive better. It will just make our casualties involving ages 18 rather than 16. Raising the driving age is a good idea, because kids are more likely to participate in street races, but if we're looking to see better driving, perhaps a good idea would be to raise the standards in our driving test, and to re-take the test every licence renewal. Personally, I was surprised and dissapointed how easy the test was to get my permit when I turned 15.
What is a good thesis statement on driving age?
A good thesis statement on driving age could be: "Raising the minimum driving age to 18 would lead to fewer accidents and fatalities among young drivers, as it would allow for more maturity and experience behind the wheel."
Why should the driving age be changed?
no because kids need cars And why is that? Give me a valid reason.
Are they going to ever change the driving age?
Many states are considering legislation to raise the driving age, especially since there are statistics showing that a disproportionate amount of automobile fatalities and other accidents are caused by drivers under the age of 24. While states are not necessarily considering a driving age of 24, they certainly do have justification for raising the driving age to 17 or 18. At the same time, however, many opponents of this idea say that such accidents are caused by inexperience, rather than age.
Is Pennsylvania raising their driving age to 18?
they are still thinking about it but are unsure. But i have a feeling they will like next year cause the statistics show that the older you are, the less accidents there are. :(
Why did the driving age go up?
The driving age may have gone up due to concerns about safety, immaturity levels in younger drivers, or to align with the age of majority for legal responsibilities. It could also be in response to research showing that younger drivers are at a higher risk of accidents.
