Currently the legal age to have a driving licence is 16. But i’m arguing that the age should be modified. It could be modified higher or lower but I think that it wouldn’t go any lower. The age is 14 and 9 months to start driving school. 15 to be able to drive with an adult and 16 to drive solo<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0I interviewed a 13 year old student at Unis Middle, Khodor Baydoun. I put out how do you think the driving age limit should be modified? His response was I don’t think it should be modified at all it is perfect at 16 years. Which it already is, but I want it to change due to the car accidents that most young drivers create. It makes the street unsafe because they are speeding and not paying attention to the road. \u00a0When I asked him when does a person truly become responsible, he replied a person truly becomes responsible when they are 18.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0I had a discussion with Mohamed Dabaja \u00a0a 10th grade student at Dearborn High that is currently going to driving school. I said \u201cHow do you think the driving age limit should be modified?\u201d He replied I don’t think it should be modified because the age required to get a job is 16 which is the same age to start driving.\u201d So it works out perfectly. I also asked \u00a0when does a student truly become responsible? He put back \u201cI think a person becomes responsible at 18 when they get their ID but that doesn’t mean you cannot drive at 16.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0I also interviewed Mohammed Sobh a 19 year old barber that drives. I asked him how do you feel being able to drive, is it easy? He replied \u201c yeah its pretty easy it also helps me out a lot being able to get to work on time driving on my own.\u201d I also asked him, when do you think a person truly becomes responsible? He put back people truly become responsible when they turn 18 so i’m good but most people are irresponsible even when they\u2019re 18.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0In conclusion most people think the driving age limit should not changed but that is not true because drivers should be taught at a young age so that they don\u2019t have to always ask for a ride from their parents to go to college or high school. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
