The driving age should be raised up to 18 because teens can be a little careless. Driving at the age of 18 is a more mature age for teens because they can have more responsibility. Teens should not be driving at the age of 16 because they could be texting and driving or drinking and driving with some friends.
Therefore, the easiest way to solve the problem of freedom would be to use public transportation or an older driver. If the driving age was raised to 18, roads would be safer and teenage death rates from car accidents would be lower. All that we have to do is raise the driving age for safer roads and safer teenagers. Alexander Sostarecz is a sophomore at Emmaus High School.
