Cheyennes Law

Change the legal age when you can get your license in Ohio from 16 to 18.

Why is this important?

More and more teens are killed evey year by their own reckless driving. They are too concerned with their cell phones, Facebook, Twitter, etc., and not paying attention to what they're doing and killing innocent people in the process. My 15-year-old cousin was killed recently by a reckless teen driver whom she was in the car with. He was speeding, not paying attention, and lost control. The car was cut in half by a tree; the driver and passenger survived. All three teens in the back died, including my cousin. Also, I want the teens to have their temps for a year before they can get their licenses. So, at age 17, they would get their temps, and at 18, their licenses. All people no mater what age must have their temps for 1 year before obtaining their licenses if they have never had a driver license before.
