            In the article ‘Should 16-year-olds drive?’ by Ted Gregory the article talks about kids driving at the age of 16 and is that too young. One quote says “were still losing a lot of teens on the road each year,”

            “Motor vehicle crashes kill more than 5,000 teenagers every year.”

Motor vehicle crashes do kill a lot of kids but to me if they take away their right to drive at 16 there are just going to maybe be more accidents because usually kids don’t listen and when they are teenagers they think they are adults and adults drive cars when they feel like it. Also if they’re driving and cops happen to pull them over what are the chances of the kids stopping if they know they are wrong and that especially will create accidents? Another quote says, “I don’t think it matters what age you are as long as you have the practice and experience.” I agree quote because I always wanted to drive since I was younger and I was always told you have to be 16. So that’s what I thought plus 16 are a good age to start driving you’re almost out of high school and more mature. Also if you know the book take the test and know how to drive why not have a license. To me I just think 16 is the age you can get a tattoo drive you are almost an adult and those type of things come with responsibility.
