Driving Age
The Driving Age should be increased to 18 along with a required 6 months of drivers ed.
Why is this important?
I believe the driving age should be increased to age 18 because of a personal life experience. I was 17 at the time and was careless and acted out. I always drove fast, loving the speed. I guess to say I had a need for speed and couldn't help myself. Because I was young and because of being an inexperienced driver I totaled my car and managed to overcome serious damage to myself. I had 11 broken ribs, 14 fractures in my pelvis, a broken shoulder, internal bleeding, and internal damage. Let's prevent this from happening to other kids and raise the driving age.
