Should Delaware Change the Driving Age?
Delaware’s driving age limit is 16, but are 16 year olds responsible enough to drive without getting them killed or injured? There has been talk throughout news stories and TV that the representatives of Delaware are thinking about changing the driving age to 18. Is this a good thing or not so good thing for teenagers? I have 2 opinions of this situation.
I agree with Delaware representatives if they change the driving age. I agree because most of the car accidents that have been happening involve first time drivers of teenagers. When they do get in car accidents, they usually injure themselves or their friends. Adults are getting really upset about has become of this driving rage and I’m kind of getting tired of it too. I don’t what to lose my friends when I get older and they’re killing themselves by not being responsible. Yes we all take driving tests but I don’t think that’s enough. Something needs to change around here and we need to do something fast.
I disagree with this situation too. I feel this way because teenagers need to make a living and need to be able to pay for college. So how are they going to do that without having a job? Parents can’t always take their sons and daughters to their jobs because they have other places to be, like their own job. I feel that we don’t have to change the driving age limit and just make sure kids score a higher score on the test to be able to drive.
People have their own opinions of this the driving age limit and I have shared mine. Now you decide! What do you think? Do you disagree or agree with this statement?
