Is lowering the driving age to fourteen a good idea?

It doesn't sound like a good idea to me. Younger drivers already have a disproportionate number of accidents, and if even younger people are allowed to become drivers, I would expect the roads to become even more dangerous for everyone. Also, where do 14 year old children have to go? They should be going to school, and if necessary taking a school bus. They are not generally driving to work. If they do have somewhere to go that requires driving, their parents will usually take them. As a further concern, 14 year old children are still growing, and some are quite short. That could also cause difficulty in reaching the pedals, seeing over the dashboard, and so forth.

Why should the driving age be lowered?

Lowering the Driving AgeSome believe it should be lowered to 14 and 8 months to get your license and that you should be able to determine when to take drivers training. Others even believe the driving age should be lowered to age 11. Views about this are likely divided by age. Those who would benefit from a lower driving age are likely to believe it should be lowered, but those who already have their license are likely to disagree.

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.
