16 Year Old Teenager's Driving




This article "Should 16-year-olds drive? "by Ted Gregory is about how people think that giving 16 year-old teenagers a driver licence is a wrong thing to do. According to the article it states " Also, the teen brain is at a particularly vulnerable point in development. Fifteen-and-16 year-olds have the logical reasoning of an adult, experts say. But their young minds' social and emotional development remains relatively immature and voraciously seeks sensual arousal, novelty and risk". This quote states that teenagers act like adults, but they still think like their immature selves. They also think it depends on who is driving. According to the article it, also states"The report also showed that the New Jersey fatality rate fell significantly for teens after a graduated  licensing law was enacted. Among the state's 17-year-old drivers, the percentage in fatal crashes dropped 33 percent after the law was enacted. This quote states that among the 17 year old teenagers driving the percentage of crashing went down. This article to me is very interesting because it talks about teenage driving and you can never be to safe when you drive. After reading this article you'll learn about teenage driving and how dangerous and not dangerous it is.
