As you know some teens when they turn 14 can get their permit and get their license when they’re 16. But, in North and South Dakota you can get your permit at 14 but you can get your license at 15 and in New Jersey, you can’t drive until you’re 17. This age range is also about maturity and responsibility for the teen; more than 4,000 teens die each year in car accidents. In 2013 1.25 million people died in vehicle-related accidents.
Some teens act mature but some also don't and there will be more accidents, I think if some teens can handle it, and some act like they are invincible and can start racing and all that kind of stuff. I believe that the age should be lower to 15 so you can get your license at 15 and not 16 because a lot of teens start working at 14 and some of the teen's parents won't be able to take them and they have some option know as walking or have a family member and sometimes the teen wants to walk even in the cold because they don't wanna waste money on gas. Some teens can handle it and I think that they should lower it because the teen is a lot busier when they turn 15 with school and sports and work. If they do lower the driving age it’ll be easier for the teens and the parents and they won’t get in trouble for going off their route or they won’t get their permit taken away or suspended. If they lower it I think a lot of families will be happy
In my opinion, the age should be lowered to 15 to get your license because like I said teens will get busier when they turn 15 with school, sports, and work, and if they can get their license then it will be easier for them and the parents. I think that if the age to get your license goes lower to 15 then I think that it will b easier like I said for teens and parents and the parents won't have to contact family members or the teens don't have to walk to work.
Do you think the driving age should be higher or lower and why?
If the driving should be lower or higher what age should it be?
Do you think it'll be easier for the families or harder?

I agree even though it might be hard on some parents I think that it can stay the same or at least maybe lower it to 15 for it can be easier.
i think it should be 15 for all states. i think 14 is too low and that should be when they train. i think 16 is too old and families need their kids to drive to events when the parents cant.
I agree because if the parent won't be able to make it then how is the kid going to make it if their parents can't make it or if any of the family members do it.
I think that if it were to get lowered then it should be required to have an adult with them in the car because then they get more experiance driving safely. Maybe if it was lowered then there could be a requirement of so any hours of driving with a parent so that then there is less risk of unexperienced drivers.
I disagree because the student already has enough hours with an adult and I think it should be lowered and they don't have to drive with an adult.
In Germany, you can drive when you're 18. So, I was already surprised by teens drivin at the age of 16 here. I think that the driving age shouldn't be lowered. In my opinion, most teenagers aren't responsible and mature enough to have a license at the age of 14.
I disagree because some people are responsible and it would help the parents out a lot if it gets lowered.
I agree but I also think if the age is lowered to 15 it would be easier for the parent and the kid since the kid will be busier than they ever have been with sports, work, and school.
I think the driving age should be lowered to fifteen. If kids get their permit at age 14, then I think one year of driving to school is enough experience for them. If the driving age was lowered it would be a lot easier on familes.
I agree because like you said it'll be easier for the parents and kids and the parents won't have to drop off their kids everywhere they go.
