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 disagree because some kids might people to drive well and some of the old age people are just getting to old where they should drive anymore.
I feel like teenagers should have more "training" behind the world. They don't fully understand how fast a vehicle can become a weapon. The age could stay the same, but there should be more resoucres to make sure students are driving safe on the roads.
I disagree because some are past the "training" and they can drive well and not crash and they know how to control the car and not crash.
I think that the driving age should not be lowered because their is already a lot of new drivers that are yound and they are the ones who keep crashing. I think that families have figured stuff out and that they will keep doing that untill their kids can drive.
I disagree because some don't cause the crashes it is usually people that drive dumb or don't know how to drive that causes it, yes some do but there are also good drivers out there.
I think that the driving age should be lowered to 15. If it gets lowered to 15 because it could help parents. The kid could drive their siblings to their sporting events and practices. If kids drive when they are younger it can help them with responsibility and make them pay attention.
I agree because it would help my parents a lot if I would've gotten my license at 15 it helps when I turn 16 but if it was younger it would definitely help.
No, I do not think that the driving range should be lower. I believe that the driving age is good where it is at. I do not trust half of the people on the road anyway. We need to teach kids better about driving. I think there are already enough people that get in crashes that are way above the age of 16 that get in crashes
I agree even though it probably is gonna be hard on some parents with work and other things some families find a way to figure it out.
I think the driving age is fine at what it is and mostly always been. It will probably be getting a permit at age 14 and getting your full drivers licence at 16. I don't think this will affect the families it is pushing against so much.
