16 year-olds Driving ?

Should 16-year olds drive? Written by Ted Gregory talks about kids getting their license. The article points out reasons why 16-year olds should wait until their older age. They get distracted easily and are vulnerable to peer pressure.

This article has a lot of quotes. Quotes by driving instructors, state reps, and Ariz. institute president Adrian Lund. A quote that stands out to me is "Idealistically I think it'd be a great," "but practically? No. There's no mass transit to get to work, to get to jobs." This quote is true, don't nobody want to spend all this money for carfare when the money could be spent on gas.

I think this topic is important. I think 16-year olds should drive. They say 16-year olds create accidents, but so do grown-ups. grown-ups like to get behind the wheel drunk and create accidents, 16-year olds aren’t allowed to drink yet so they won’t get any D.U.I's. they say 16 year olds are immature, but so are grown-ups.

This article reminds me of why I am upset that I won’t be getting my license once I turn 16. I’ll be able to get my permit, but it’s not the same as driving around by yourself. It’s not the same as saying I have my license.
