In "Should 16-year-olds drive?" Ted Gregory explores that it's unsafe for teens of the age of 16 to be able to drive. Most of the people who were interviewed about this agreed that it's a bad idea.
This passage includes quotes from teens, teachers, experts, and everyday people. Ted Gregory also pulls facts from another state. One fact that stood out to me was "The example the institute uses most prominently is New Jersey, the only state with a minimum driver's license age of 17." this quote shows that in some states teens can get a diver's license at the age of 16, but only in New Jersey you have to be 17.
I think driving at the age of 16 is a benefit to teens and parents. Driving can open the world up to you and let you explore places you never been to on your own. Most teens would agree with me because they're ready to be independent. However, adults/parents wont agree because they believe we will put our self in more trouble; better yet danger.
This article made me think about how many teens are on the road now without license. Most adults are aware of this action but aren't doing anything about it. This causes more teens every year too lose their life.
This is a good start, but short. Including some of the reasons why people think the driving age should be raised would make the post better. Also, why do you think there are many teens driving without a license? 80
