I have an idea. Maybe young people should be allowed to drive at 16, but they shouldn't be allowed to drive without an adult in the car until they're, say, 20 or something.
I mean, just because some 16-year-olds are irresponsible, that shouldn't meanthat driving is banned for all young people.
Well, I have pretty strong views about this because this law affects me-well, it affects all of us here, really.

Well, I understand what you're saying, Sam, but most young people aren't responsible enough.
and then we wouldn't have to pay so much for our insurance every month.
And basically, I don't think the law should be changed. The main reason is that I live on the outskirts of town, about 15 miles from here, and public transportation isn't very regular.
I mean, statistics show that most accidents are caused by young people. I don't think we should be allowed to take or driving tests until we're at least 20 or 21.
That way, more lives would be saved.
That's not fair.
Yes, but I'm against raising the age limit for one reason alone. Simply that you can get married at 16, so why can't you drive?

I think it would be better for young people to wait until they're a little older before they start driving,
That way they'd probably be safe when they're learning to drive and become better drivers, too.
So for people like me, well, if the law were changed, then a lot of us wouldn't be able to get to school.
And secondly, all those accidents mean increased insurance premiums for young people.
