Prompt: Most states allow people to get a driver’s license at the age of 16. Some people feel that 16 is much too young for the responsibility that comes with driving a car and that teenagers should not be allowed to drive until the age of 18. In your opinion, at what age should people be allowed to drive, and why?
Driving is a privilege that we all have to earn. Each person that has a license has earned it, even if your 16, by law you are eligible to drive. Teenagers are always judge, when their behind the wheel, just because they might be 16 an still are in there teenage years. I do not think being 16 has nothing wrong to do with your driving which is why you take the DMV test, to see if you can handle thru les of driving. Sixteen, in my opinion is the perfect age to get a permit and then their license.
Teenagers are always getting judge mainly when they are in the road. I think this is unfair because everyone went through the same process of getting your license and getting your first car. As I see some of my friends drive I pay attention to the road, but older people have tried to cause problems just because I am young. I think this is another reason that some accidents happen, teenagers just like other people on the road want to be safe as well. Although when accidents happen, everyone thinks that the younger person did it for not paying attention, or for being foolish. Most of the time this is not the case and situations like this put a bad reputation for teenagers on the road.
To get a license is not a simple process of going to the DMV and signing up for one. You have to first go to take classes at any driving school, for a whole week, nine hours a day, until they give a certificate that you passed the class. After you have to take that to the DMV and take a written test, which you only have three chances to pass. If passed then you have to wait six months to finally take your behind the wheel test. Don’t you think this process is enough to proof you can drive? I do, the whole process takes about a year, and all tens that drive went through this process as well.
During high school, teenagers have many more priorities to worry about. For example, the most important is getting to school, not all the students in every school live near it, some live far. Those students have to take multiple buses to get to school, which sometimes cause them to arrive late. That is why many teens cannot wait till they get their license, so that they can finally get to school on time. Teenagers have many needs that involve the using of a vehicle.
For some people, letting teenagers get licenses at 16 might seem too young, but it is not. Teenagers deserve more respect the same way adult and elders receive it. Teens depend on their cars, and without their car they wouldn’t be able to accomplish their method in life. So don’t take away what they depend on, it could be their future that you jeopardize!
