Better late than never! Rashid's views on the driving age


Vehicles have changed people's lives dramatically, both in a good way and a bad way. It has made transportation faster,more comfortable, and more efficient ; however, it also made people lazier. Anyhow, there has always been controversy about the legal driving age whether it should be reduced or increased.

If you ask me, I believe it should be reduced.

One of the reasons is the eagerness of young teenagers to drive. Personally I believe the eagerness makes many young gteenagers tempted to drive without the awareness of their parents, and without knowing how to drive well they cause accidents. As a result if the legal driving age is reduced teenagers eagerness would be reduced; however, I also believe a good precaution would be limiting the young teenagers driving; for instance, they need to drive with an experienced person for the first couple of years.

Another reason is because of emergencies. If you take my country for example, the ambulance usually takes time till it gets to a house sometimes very late. So i believe that if a young teenager is taught how to drive well he could save a lot of time and might even save a life!


Based on the two reasons I mentioned above I firmly believe the legal driving age should be reduced.

  1. driving means a lot of things.,your own life and the others'. some teenagers, even though they reach the legal age for driving, they still have not matured mentally.
