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 don't think the driving age should be lowered because in many states you can't even get a permit until you are 15. There aren't many good reasons why kids should be able to drive wherever they want under the age of 16. There would be a lot more accidents, even minor ones.
I disagree because if you have to get your school permit at 15 then I think that they should change it because it can be hard for the parents have to drive the teen to school.
I think it would be nice to have it lower, but I understand why it's 16 because a lot of people are still inmature at 16 and lower. They should keep it at 16, if it was lower I think there would be a lot more car crashes. If it was higher it would make it harder for families, and if it was lower it would be easier.
I agree but if it's at 15 then I think it will be easier for the family because the mom or dad doesn't have to drive everyone and drop them off.
Maturity does not increase the likelihood or less likelihood of whether a person will get into an accident. The legal driving age is acceptable the way it is, I believe. It should not be lowered or increased. To try and change the legal driving age would also probably take a lot of work to complete.
I agree even though some people say different I think that it should be lowered because it might be able to be easier for the family and teen.
I dont think the driving age should be lower because if you have younger kids driving they might not be as mature or have the commen sense if something happens. I think that if anything the age to drive should be higher because then their might be less accidents or problems on the road.
I agree I think that if the driving age should be lowered some might not be mature enough but some might be mature enough also if the driving age is higher then it might be harder for families and teen.
I think the driving age should be 15 in my opinion. A lot of teens have already had a year of driving in that time, which is a pretty good amount of experience. I feel like it would be a lot more convenient for families as well, because teens would be able to drive to their jobs and take their siblings or other family members to school.
I agree with you because teens have a lot of experience and it will be easier for families and teens because they won't have to be to stressed about work or anything.
