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 should be lowered to help the parents in my opinion it should be lowered and it would help a lot for the parents.
I don't think it should change. driving is a lot of responsibility and there are already enough bad and distracted drivers roaming around. it would just add to the number of kids dying in car accidents. It would also be impractical just for Harlan because it would take up more parking space that we don't have.
I agree but I think it should at least go down to 15 maybe to help out the parents a little bit and it would be easier.
I agree that 15 would be a reasonable age for kids to get there liscense. I do not feel that any younger would be safe, but 15 would be alright. It should be 15 so that parents don't have to drive their kids to as many activites. This would make it easier on the families.
I agree because it wouldn't be safe if it was under and it would help the parents a lot more and they will be happy.
I think 15 would be the best age to have your driver's license. I think having a lower age would create more responsibilities for people though. I think it will be easier for parents because less driving for them can help. As long as you have common sense this would be perfect.
I agree because it would create more responsibilities for everyone and it would also help them with parents as you said.
I believe that the legal driving age is good right now and shouldn't be raised or lowered. I think this because if you change the age, then there will just be more people that don't like it. I think that right now it is easy on families, but if it was lowered, then it would be easier.
I agree but I think that it should be lowered since it might help the parents because the kid could get groceries or something the parents need or they need.
I think the driving age should be lowered to 15 so the kids who do go to work can drive or make work permits. But since some kids aren't responsible their parents could have a say if they can get it or not. I think it will be easier for parents because they won't have to drive their kids.
