Chloe says raising the driving age will not change the rate of deaths. It won't save lives. It's inexperience, not age, that creates accidents. Raising the driving age would just create inexperienced, accident-prone drivers at 18 instead of 16. But I think that if you do raise the driving age it will decrease deaths because in those 2 years they will have more opportunities to practice, and if the driving age was raised it wouldn't create inexperience it would just give the teenagers more time to practice and get better. Even if those teenagers really do get in an accident then at least they will have 2 more years live. Therefore I think that the driving age should be raised because people need more practice.

I believe that the driving age should be raised because the United States Government says that teenagers are often irresponsible and don't wear seat belts. So because of their lack of maturity they can get seriously injured or even killed, because they are not wearing seat belts. Injuries and death can be avoided if the driving age was raised so then teenagers will have more time to mature and then when they are 18 they will be mature enough to put on their seat belts and be cautious of car accidents. Therefore the driving age should be raised because teenagers don't wear seat belts and get injured.

I believe that the driving age should be raised because the United States Government says that in 2011, 3,023 teenagers died in car crashes, and out of everyone driving 33% of car crashes are caused by teenagers. So if the driving age was raised the teenagers will have 2 more years to practice, and then when they are 18 they will have more experience and there will be less deaths. Therefore the driving age should be raised because teenagers are inexperienced and need practice.

Bailey says Its not the age of the person its the lack of experience. So it would only make 18-21 year old in the risk of the same stuff as the 16 year olds today. but I think that if the driving age went up then the teenagers will have 2 more years of practice and then they will be more experienced instead of getting rushed into driving because they were too young. therefore the driving age should be raised because teenagers need more practice.

The United States Government says that Teenagers are irresponsible because they are young and haven't fully mature yet. Therefore if the driving age was raised the teenagers will be more mature and be safer on the road.
