Now, this is not where the line stops because this also causes some serious controversy. The problem presented is rather or not they should higher or lower the driving age limit, depending on the state.<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00a0Some people who are saying these statements happen to be pretty old. We\u2019re not talking about 40 or 50 years old, we\u2019re talking senior citizen old.<\/b><\/p>\n
Assad Salman, a retired senior from Windsor, thinks that the driving age should be upped by ![](\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/QRgC54BpoDSS727jTa4MmiqXwI3WFqQBHvBFZyEhFRpEYeYoQhooFTTSmN7s-_mNPQTqB7bq6bspQI8n-V1WtSvBA4rOBjt-aMOKT19J\")
He said around 22 years of age is when it\u2019s the right time for people to go behind the wheel.<\/b><\/p>\n
And even though he\u2019s a Canadian citizen talking about America\u2019s driving age, he brings up a pretty good point.<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201dThe worst types of people on the roads are drunks and young people, but especially drunks!\u201d he exclaimed thoroughly. <\/b><\/p>\n
And this opinion has some truth to it. A study about DUI\u2019s (Driving Under the Influence) from BACtrack.com claimed that in 2010, over 10,000 people have died from drunk drivers that year.<\/b>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00a0But old people aren\u2019t the only ones with opinions about this topic. 13-Year-old Khodar Baydoun had something to say about this. \u201cI don\u2019t think it should be modified at all\u201d, he started. \u201cIt\u2019s perfect at 16.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

This means that with a crucial task like this on their hands, older people will start taking younger people more seriously.<\/b><\/p>\n
Now, of course, not ALL young people think that \u201c16\u2019s perfect.” Layale Bazzi is a college student from UW (University of Windsor) and recently got her license a few years ago.<\/b><\/p>\n
She said that when she was as young as 15 years old, she was practising driving in parking lots with her parents. And this was BEFORE she got her permit.<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cTeenagers should start taking driving courses early in their lives, that way they\u2019ll be better prepared for when they\u2019re on their own.\u201d She explained.<\/b><\/p>\n
And with that, she also states that even though she started at age 15 with her parents, 18 is the better age when it comes to first driving by yourself.<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00a0In Conclusion, everyone is entitled to their own opinion when it comes to driving at certain ages. Some say that it should start at 15 years, while others say that 22 years is the golden age for it. But one thing that we know for sure is that it\u2019s better to be safe rather than sorry when it comes to this type of stuff.<\/b><\/p>\n
