In "Should 16-year-olds drive?" by Ted Gregory he brings to light that some people think that the minimum age for driving should be bumped up. They think it should be lowered so teen motor deaths can go down and every one can be safer on the road. Some teens think that this plan is not true because it matters about experience and not age.

This article includes quotes from teenagers, legislators, and driving teachers. Something that stood out to me is that 5,000 teenagers die every year from motor vehicle crashes. It's shocking because so many people with their lives ahead of them die from the simplest things. This is something that everyone wants to stop young and the elderly.

I think this topic is very important because lives can be changed from something this simple. Before reading this I thought that driving didn't kill so many people every year. Now I think that it should be taken serious every mile. I think the deaths will go down thanks to the police keeping a closer eyes on drivers.

This article made me think about plenty of things. Like when I become 16 will I be able to drive like the laws allow today. Also if the deaths will go up or go down. I could find this out by interviewing people who know a lot about the subject. Also from researching the latest debates about these topics and project where they will be by the time I can drive.
