<\/a>According to cdc.gov,\u00a0In 2013, 2,163 teens in the United States ages 16\u201319 were killed and 243,243 were treated in emergency departments for injuries suffered in motor vehicle crashes.\u00a0Driving is one of the most hardest thing to do. Hawraa Beydoun, a 11th grade that has a driving license, stated, \u201c Driving is one of the hardest thing to do as a teenager. But I don\u2019t think the age of driving should be increased to 21 years old. \u00a0I had my permit since I turned 14 and 9 months.\u201d she also added \u201c I think 16 is a great age for having your license.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Some states allow teens to get their permits at the age of 15 years old and 6 months. In Michigan you can get your permit at the age of 14 and 6 months. If you have your permit, you can only drive with someone that is over 21 years old and that has a driving license. And when you turn 16, you\u2019re able to get your driving licence. And other states, you\u2019re able to get your driving license\u00a0at the age of 18.<\/p>\n

Batoul, a 11th grader that has her permit, stated \u201cI think the driving age should not be raised to age of 21 years old. I got my permit at the age of 15 years old, and now I am 16 years old. I\u2019m planning to get my driver\u00a0license this summer\u201d. She also added, \u201c If you want to go to college, you need someone to take you. Well you have your mom, but not all the time. Sometimes my mom is busy, so she can\u2019t take me. So that\u2019s why when I have my driving\u00a0license, I could go myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In conclusion most people think that the driving age should not be increased to 21 years old. They think this because sometimes teens need a car to do whatever they need to do. While other people think that the driving age should be increased to 21 years old. They think this because they are lots of teens out there that just get in car accident every time. And that most teens are not always that mature while driving. And 1 in 5 teens get in a car accident in the first year of driving.<\/p>\n
