Lowering The Driving Age
Driving Age Some people are discussing the driving age for teenagers. How it should be raised or lowered. I am going to explore both sides and in the end choose one for my self. The different sides include; Keep the age the same, lowering it, and raising it, of just making it to where you can get your permit earlier but still drive at 16. The age for driving could change over the next couple of years, so there will be positive and negative consequences. If we keep the age at 16 and not change it at all it will not have that many effects on people. I mean, people will still be in school and be able to take test and learn at school.

They will be adults they will know what is right and wrong and will not attempt to take unnecessary risks. Now a bad thing is, no kids will be able to drive to school. So there parents will have to drive there kids to every schools function there is throughout their high school life. Also many kids, like myself, will be graduating when they are 17, so how are the supposed to go to collage without a license. Yet the newer generation is less responsible then
