There are many things you could say but I'll start off as it's a big part to teenagers to get their license. Many teenagers look forward to getting their license and it makes them feel closer to adulthood. Along with that, it's a part of growing up and getting more responsible. Taking driving away may make them act more frustrated and immature. Another point is that it get's you places and you don't have to rely on your parents. There are several things this can apply to. For instance needing to go to work, or taking younger siblings places. Your parents aren't always open to take you and siblings places all the time. Also if you go to a friends house or you want to travel or go somewhere, your parents have to fit it into their schedule. Keeping the age at 16 makes you able to do more things you want/need to do and even helps your parents out. My last point is that they have just as much experience. At 18 you are still just as scared and inexperienced. They say that there are more accidents at younger ages but that's not because of the age, its because of inexperience, and you'll be just as inexperienced at 18. Also, just because there are some reckless, careless drivers at younger ages doesn't mean they're all like that and shouldn't be applied to that whole age group.

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.
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.

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.
