The driving age should be increased because most car accidents happen when teens start driving but teens who are 16 should have a adult in the car when they are driving. But i think the driving age should be increased to 18 because most teens aren't mature enough to drive at the age of 16. But most teens will be mature enough to drive when they are 18 and there will probley be less teen deaths.
ReplyDeleteThe ages of teens drivers should be increased because, most teens don’t think about the consequences, most 16-years old, want to have a drivers license because they think its cool. They also think speeding up is cool too, drinking alcohol too. They don’t think that they can get cough, or get in a car accident
ReplyDeleteThe driving age should not be increased. Teen drivers are just as capable as other people to operate automobiles as any other adult on the road. Half the adults on the road who have been driving for years are just as worst as the sixteen year olds that drive. Driving at sixteen years old give the person behind the wheel more practice because you can’t learn how to drive on the road by taking a test in an obstacle course it just isn’t likely.

ReplyDeletedomb teens who do returded things i see on the news the things they did but come on they shouldn't penalise anyone else.
The driving age should not be increase. It should not be increase because not all driving teens are careless. Some teen ages are actually following the rules of driving. It should not be increase because if they increase it and accidents keeps happing and they might keep changing and changing and there would not really be a limit any more. thats why I think it should not be increase.
ReplyDeleteThe legal driving age should increase. The reason why is because according the article “More than 5,000 U.S. teens die each year in motor vehicle accidents.” This means that if they increase the legal driving age, fewer teens will fall victims to car crashes. The driving age should be at 18 because that is when the are more responsible. One way that they can prevent crashes is to have a curfew or a parent or
ReplyDeleteThe driving age should be increased. They should be increased because teens could be reckless and get into accidents with other drivers or pedestrians. Also, in the article, it stated that more than 5,000 teens die each year in motor vehicle accidents. Another reason I say they should increase the driving age is because if they get older, they would muture more and wouldn't be so reckless as they would be, that would also lower the risks of a teen getting into a car accident.
ReplyDeleteIncreasing the age of driving would cause less pollution. Look at the bright side of things like how many students are late for school or they missed the bus. I think that leaving the driving age at 16 would be the right choice. Get a license whenever but the parents are the ones who get the car correct, well yes correct so the age should be at 16 although the right to drive should have parental consent.
ReplyDeleteThe driving age should not be increased because I want to drive at the age 16 because I don’t have to catch the bus all the time I could just get in my car and go wherever I want to go. I could drive anywhere and pick my boys up and a few of my girls and we go party. So I suggest that they should not increase the driving age because I want to drive now.
ReplyDeleteThe driving license policy should stay the same at 16.This is because some teenagers that are 16 are not irresponsible and some are so for the ones who are irresponsible they need to take away privileges away from them not from everybody. “The group says these young drivers are in a high number of accidents” the statement made there is not true because a lot of people get into accidents no matter how old or how young some elderly get in accidents because of there eye sight or hearing so it is not only teenager. People are looking at it in one perspective and not all the others but if they were to they would notice it’s a handful of adults are causing the accidents.
ReplyDeleteThe driving age should be increased because there were over 5,000 teenagers that died in a car accident. In New Jersey they change the age of driving to 17. In the article it says, “Several studies show that the overall rate of teens killed in crashes in New Jersey has been consistently lower than that in other states.” Also the driving age should not be increased because in most states it has improved. Teenagers have not been getting into as many accidents then they have got into before.

ReplyDeleteThe driving age should not be increased because most kids think they are cool and forget the rules of driving. A lot of my family, and friends have died in car accidents. A lot of kids like to go racing and half of them are 16 and 17 with there permits, it really dangerous cause it can end there life. Also, some kids are not ready to drive, because of there mentality. They’re a lot of violence with teenage driving
ReplyDeleteThe driving age should not be increased. Teen drivers are just as capable as other people to operate automobiles but some people don’t know how to drive. They will crash and consequences or go to court or go to jail. It’s really when people are drunk driving the cops will come and give you a ticket or you will go to jail.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading the article on Achieve, state whether the driving age should be increased and why. Use evidence to defend your answer.
ReplyDeleteThe driving age should increase. The reason why I say this is because in the article, “Too young to drive?” Says that many teens die from car/motorcycle accidents. The proof that I have that is in the article, it states, “More than 5,000 U.S. teens die each year in motor vehicle accidents.” The reason why I use that as my proof is because many teens die in accidents but if they had a adult with them, I (don’t) believe that there wouldn’t be as much as accidents as there is in the U.S. That is why I believe that the driving age should be increased.
The driving age should be increased because a lot of teen drivers have been in car accidents from drinking while driving and a lot of drivers died in the crashes. For an example it says: “It found that 18 out of 100,000 teenagers died in crashes (New Jersey) and 26 out of 100,000 died in crashes (Connecticut), and “16 year olds drivers had more accidents than older teenagers.” Another reason is that parents could lose their kids when they get into crashes and then they would feel depressed. Fewer teenagers would die. That’s why the driving age should be increased.
ReplyDeletethe driving age should increase .The reason why i think it should increase is because there are to much car crashes now of days by teens and they are not machure enoghu to relise plying around on the road is very dangerous.And i got that thoguht it my head because in my teen bizz they said i t is alot of crashes for teens.

ReplyDeleteThe driving age shouldn’t be increased. Just like the parents said it takes away teens responsibility. Sixteen your olds should be able to drive because at that age they’re almost an adult. Having a car shows sixteen year olds responsibility and how to take care of their property. Sixteen year olds should be able to drive.
ReplyDeleteThe driving age should and shouldn’t be changed because teens just wants to go where ever they want, they want go places and don’t have to depended on other people for rides. They should because young people are dieing. In the article it says, “More than 5,000 U.S. teens die each year in motor vehicle accidents. In fact, car crashes are the leading cause of death among teenagers”. That really dangerous to other people. Teenagers have not been getting into as many accidents then they have got into before.
ReplyDeleteThe driving age shouldn’t be increased. Just like the parents said it takes away teens responsibility. Sixteen year olds should be able to drive because at that age they’re almost an adult. Having a car shows sixteen year olds responsibility and how to take care of their property. The text said:” Many parents are also against it. They say they look forward to no longer having to chauffeur their teens to school and other places. Some parents believe that raising the driving age takes responsibility away from teens. They say it takes away the teens' independence”.

ReplyDeleteThe driving age should not be increased. It is better to teach them early. Then they can be safer. This will decrease the chance of the crashes slightly. But it will still change. The point is, it wouldn’t be fair to change the driving age. The teens will be 16 are looking forward to learn how to drive. The right thing to do is probably change the course of things. In the article it says, “More than 5,000 U.S. teens die each year in motor vehicle accidents.” Maybe you can change the vehicle to a safety vehicle. Then, change the driving course to a safer one. This can probably save some more lives. This is my reason.
The teenage driving age should be increase in all states across America. The reason why is because if the teenagers are really causing all these number of accident they shouldn’t be allowed to drive at a young age. If teens 17 and older aren’t the ones causing the accidents, then they should most definitely be able to drive. When it comes to teen driving, both side seem reasonable to me. It depends on certain kind of “independence” you have, if your 16 and your on your on you might need a car and I totally think you should be allowed to drive.
ReplyDeleteThe state should not raise the age for teen driving because if they can not drive they will have to depened on there parents or someone who is the appropite age to drive. From the text "They say they look forward to no longer having to drive their teens to school and other places. They also say it takes away the teens' independence." Thats why they should not raise the age of teen driving.
ReplyDeleteYes the driving age should be increased because many teens have gotten in a car accident from drunk driving and under DUI. Also because in the article it says “Connecticut, for example, 26 out of 100,000 died in crashes” This just goes to show that teens under the age of 17 should not be driving.
ReplyDeleteThe driving age for teens should not be inceased. It does not matter that teens 16 years of age should not drive. They can get driving lesson or not get driving lessons and still crash. The same thing can happen to "anybody", especially 17 and 18 year olds. 26 out of 100,000 teens died in crashes. Increacing ages will do nothing. My mom can start he car and drive off and get into an accident... she's over 18 but it still could have happen.
ReplyDeletethe driving age should be increased because of the crime and deaths of the teens. and it says it in the story new jersey raised the age to 17.
ReplyDelete'Why raise the age? Car crashes cause most teen deaths. About 5,000 teens die each year. The safety group did a study. It looked at New Jersey. There, the driving age is 17. Fewer teens die in crashes there."
The driving age should be increased because a lot of teen drivers are killed in crashes.16 year olds drivers had more accidents than older teenagers. in new Jeresy there is less crashes.that is what the article said...................THE END
ReplyDeleteThe driving age should not be increases because I want to buy a car when am 16 years old I want to buy a infinity, bmw and because I don’t want to catch the bus or the train all the time and I can drive my car anywhere and I can pick up my friends and a few of girls. They should not increase the age of driving. And something else some teens are not irresponsible and some are irresponsible they should not take privileges away from them not from everybody.
ReplyDeletethat teens 16 years of age should not drive. They can get driving lesson or not get driving lessons and still crash. The same thing can happen to "anybody", especially 17 and 18 year olds. 26 out of 100,000 teens died in crashes. Increacing ages will do nothing. My mom can start he car and drive oMore than 5,000 U.S. teens die each year in motor vehicle accidentsff and get into an accident.
ReplyDeleteThe age to drive should not be increase because most crashes are not only caused by teens they are caused by reckless drivers. People that are on cell phones and taxing also cause crashes. Know studies to day also show that elders are starting to get in to more crashes. So it is not just teens at the age of 16. The age to drive should stay the same and should not by raised. I would most likely not got to New Jersey to get my license because I do not want to wait until I am 17 or 18 to get my licenses.
ReplyDeleteThe driving age should not be increased because in the article it said ‘’teens die in car accident at the age 16’’. So therefore it should not be increased so we won’t have any more car accident with the young people we have in this world. Its important to have a guardian in the car while a young boy/girl in the car teaching them how to drive. So parents are a big help to young kids when it comes to driving. The driving age should not be increased.
ReplyDeleteThe age should be increased because these days, teens are sometimes crazy and they like to have fun. Lots of times having fun can become dangerous. More than 5,000 U.S. teens die each year in motor vehicle accidents. One study was done in the 1990s. It found that 18 out of 100,000 teenagers died in car crashes in New Jersey. But in Connecticut, for example, 26 out of 100,000 died in crashes.

ReplyDeleteThe driving age should be increased if they have to be. If they really do have to be increased then that is just what we are going to have to do. There are teens in the world who don’t want this law to come true but if it is the law then it is. If possibly they had a test to indicate which younger drivers can actually drive well then maybe they can see if they can let them be on the road with the professionals and the big trucks. So I believe the people doing the tests should have great skills to be on the road.

The driving age should be increased because a lot of teens drivers are getting killed in car crashes. At the age of 16 you should not be able to drive. There are many reasons for this. The first reason is because some teens do dumb things like drink while driving. The second reason why teens should not be allowed to drive at the age of 16 is because they do things like speed if they are in a rush. The last reason why teens should not be allowed to drive at the age of 16 is because they also love to talk on the phone. Talking on the phone while driving is against the law.
ReplyDeleteThe driving age should be increased because it is very dangerous for teens and it causes a whole lot of deaths. For example the article says that the teens want the age decreased , but the parents don't because it cause major deaths of teens, injury's and hell in some ones life. Either there drunk driving or speed driving acting like they know what there doing. That is why the driving age should be increased.

ReplyDeleteThe driving age should be increased. In New Jersey showed that when you increase the age, fewer teens die. If the age limit for teens to drive goes up a few years, then maybe fewer teens would die in car accidents because teens do stupid thing, like drink or talk on the phone while driving. They wouldn’t be capable of that responsibility.
ReplyDeleteFifteen people have died in a car accident. The families protested against drunk driving. Their families have suffered so much. They stopped bleeding red, now they bleed blue. They don’t drive cars anymore they walk. They feel like they are going through this big obstacle they think to themselves what is going to happen next. The guy that crashed into them feels like he should commit a suicide, because he cannot live with the guilt of killing 15 people. So then he wonders to himself. that you live to live and when you die, your spirit is still living but once your dead, you shall forever be in one others heart. Also there is no chance of entering the past life because you are dead and you are buried under the ground.
ReplyDeleteWhat he did was awful, because drinking and driving DOES NOT MATCH! But now he tried to make up for it. But what he doesn’t know is that, they are still dead. Now 10 people have died, and they have died because of polluted air. This polluted air has caused lives to be taken away. The polluted air happened because of not taking care of the planet. The planet will soon collapse and every one will die. No one on this planet is perfect. But every one is wisely enough to make their own wisely decisions. So therefore the driving limit should be increased, until people make wiser decisions.
I think the driving age should not be increased to 17 or 18 years old, because I believe most 16 year old are ready to drive. Also I will be 16 soon and I do not want to wait an extra year or two. 16 year olds are mature when it comes to driving, and they are able to take upon the responsibility to have their own car or drive a vehicle.
ReplyDeleteIt should not be increased becuase when I grow up i want to be able to drive and not have to wait really long. I also think that maybe the lessins should be longer for the younger drivers for them to be more experienced. __Raheem Duncan
ReplyDeleteFrom Reading the story to young to drive I say driving age should be increase because at the age around 16 or 17 people are getting to hyped and that’s when car crashes start to happen. So to me I think people should wait to the age of 21 to be able to drive so it could be less problems and keep the streets more safer so that’s why I think driving should increase. Also when young high teenagers get their liaisons they start drinking or celebrating and that’s when accsadents happen just because of the Rang of the age between 16 and 17 witch shouldn’t be allowed that’s why the driving age should increase to 21 and older.
