In Order To Get Your Drivers License You Should Be 18
I think so. We should be mature adults before we get a car. And I think personally they would be less teen crashes because the teens would not be driving!

I actually have to agree with that one. I mean, the only reason you can get one when you are younger is because you can get a job at a younger age...

I mean, it's nice to be able to get practice before entering college, but the amount of teens that die in crashes is too high. Of course, not ALL of them are the teen's fault, but they're still too young to die.

Of course, I can't imagine the protests that would arise if this were to become a law...

Yes, personally, I don't think teens are responsible enough, being a teen myself, I think we need to be adults before we are allowed to drive.

I learned how to drive when I was 10. I am 14, I could totally get my driver's license right now. I usually drive on the highway, anyway.

I agree to a point and disagree as well. I think being a "good" driver comes with experience and life. I don't see a big difference between being 16 and 18, as far as getting your license goes. There is not that big of a maturity difference in the 2 years. I think if we are speaking maturity levels, it should be 25 but, as far as I am concerned you become better with experience and not necessarily age.

I don't even think there should be an age. In order to drive people should have the physical and mental qualifications. The earlier people start driving the better they are. Just like stretching; those Chinese and Russian kids start training for gymnastics really early.

I agree with melisiwa.

Experience on the road is about how long you've been driving, not how old you are. Making people wait another two years will just make them more eager to drive and more reckless when they do get the right.

I think they should start teaching kids how to drive earlier so that they are more experienced drivers.

I think it should stay the same at the age 16! I think that is the perfect age!
