Raise the Driving Age to Eighteen!
After reading Mr. J. Brown's letter, dated August 15, I feel compelled to write and let your readers know how I feel about raising
the driving age from 16 to 18. Teenagers should not be allowed to drive until they are 18. Only high school graduates should be
given a driver's license, and only after successfully completing a driver's education class during high school
Right now, 15 year-olds can get a practice permit and try for their license at 16. Eighteen is a better age. At 18, people are more
mature and better able to make mature decisions. Not all 18 year-olds are mature, but the majority of them are. At least we are
more mature than 15 year-olds.
