Legal 21 driving

Teenage drivers are every adult’s nightmare. With the lack of experience and maturity, both parents and fellow drivers are frightened to share the road with adolescents. Through much research, teens as a whole have proven to be incapable of obtaining respectable driving skills. According to “Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association,” motor vehicle crashes were the leading cause of death among 13-19 year old males and females in the United States. Factors causing these distractions are cell phones, passengers, and adolescent’s poor cognitive skills. Due to the teenagers being pre-mature and accident prone, the legal age to obtain a license should be 21 in order to improve young driving skills and create a safer environment on the road.
This is a very controversial topic which has to be discussed in the government. The U.S.A. is the only country which allows the driving age at the age of sixteen. These parents do not take responsibility of their children; they buy them a car and give them so much freedom, without thinking of the possible consequences. These parents need to wake up to what is going on. Actually it seems these parents are hurrying to get rid of the responsibilities they have to their children, and give them freedom; this is bad for their kids. According to the survey accomplished in 2005, twelve teens from sixteen to nineteen years old died every day from motor vehicle accident. Around 6,000 teenage drivers are killed in auto accidents each year. They are four times more likely to be killed in car accidents than any other age group. These facts are outrageous.
The child’s brain is not developed enough to take the responsibility of driving. They do not always follow the driving rules. Many of them want to show off, and they are driving very fast or they are racing other cars. Simply raising the driving age to 21 could save thousands of lives. A teenager’s brain is not yet fully matured and down to earth and may take irrational decisions
