New Zealand’s legal driving age has raised from 15-year-old to 16-year-old since 1st August 2011. However, there are many people thinks 16-year-old is still too young to drive. According to a survey of 2300 people conducted by the NZ Herald News, it is not surprised to see the result which 80 per cent of them want the legal driving age raised to at least 18.
There are many factors why people under age 18 shouldn’t drive, here it covers three of them. The first argument will be about young drivers crash facts; the second argument will be about researches of teenagers’ brain; the third argument will be about teenagers drunk driving and ease of getting distracted.
Hey Emily!!
ReplyDeleteGreat argument, i think that 18 is a good age for teenagers to start driving. I'm basing by looking back at the 16 year old me - very irresponsible and not mature enough to make decisions that could end up hurting or even killing others - not to mention how silly boys are when it comes to things like racing and drifting and all that.. 16 is just too young for such a big responsibility :--)
Goodluck!!!
