How many of us wants to get
their license at the age of 18? Could this be the future of the teens? Is
driving at the age of 18 is safe or not? Many parents want to change the law
for their children safety, they think that it will significantly help. There is
a matter of fact that the driving is all about making the right choices on the road,
according to your skills and all depends on the experience. The car crash of
the 16 years old might be due to the inexperience and the lack of the skills.
But what if we raise the driving age limit up to the 18 years, it will have a
car crash because of the inexperience. It shows the death ratio of the 18 years
old will increase proportionally with the 16 years old. In this case, we are
not helping the cause of the driving age limit we are just delaying the time of
the car crash either at the age of 16 or at the age of 18. Many of the people
say that when you are at the age of 18 your brain is more developed, but yet
your brain is not fully developed until the early years of your 20s. Therefore,
starting the driving at the age of 18 will not help you in solving the problem.
The researchers have shown that the many of the teenagers start drinking
heavily at the age of 18. It shows more the drunk driving at the age of 18
which is nearly equal to the suicides and homicides. Now the question arises as
who would be the safest driver?
The studies have shown that the
risky behavior affects the 16-17 years old males more deeply, as much as it
affect in their early 20’s. Should the men be banned from driving until the age
of 23, No! This cannot be possible as they have started their driving at the
age of 16 or 18.
What if we have raised the
driving age, which will allow the kids to dance, dates and the other school
events say the Prom? In this case, the majority of the parents takes their kids
to the activities, where they cannot afford to chauffeur their kids around or
in the most cases they do not have the time either. If a 16 or 17 years old kid
cannot go for the independent activities with peers, then he or she will start
at the age of 20’s. This could get in the way the most important schooling of
their lives, where the most of the kids start working at the age of 16, so how
they are suppose to get to the work if they are not allowed to drive.
Driving is the privilege,
however, it can be a fatal and the lethal weapon as well in the hands of the
immature and irresponsible person. Not only the age limit of the driving license
is raised, but the driving test criteria should be raised as well, make it very
very difficult to pass which requires more skills. It will compile the new
learner to go to the driving school Sydney or cheap driving school
if they cannot afford the expenses of the driving lessons. It should be
mandatory in the test to drive in a defensive driving course before they are
allowed to take their cars on the public roads. Many of the deaths are caused
by the irresponsible and carelessness of the driver and it should be addressed
on the early bases.
I don't think that driving age should be raised, 18 is ideal age and one is mature enough to understand what is good and what is bad.
