The Minimum Driving Age Should Be Raised to 18

Yes, many young drivers are in accidents due to lack of experience, but does this mean that they may need more experience delaying this opportunity? Likewise, despite extensive experience, the high tendency of elderly drivers can lead to fatal accidents due to incompetence, so judge such groups based on the age difference of one year That is unfair.

March 3, 2010: On Tuesday, the Volkswagen Senate passed the so-called "Safety Driver" Act (S2290). In this bill, vigorous debate began among the two senators, including the wording that drivers over the age of 75 need to do cognitive and physical fitness tests to renew their licenses.

(B) Even if there is a requirement under the provisions of Article 8, paragraph 1, a license applicant of 75 years old or older or an update permission shall be applied directly. The applicant must submit the senior driver's evaluation form filled out by the applicant's health care provider by the function of the health care provider and submit the evaluation form to the registration institution. The Senior Drivers Assessment Form should evaluate the applicant's cognitive and physical capacities, including sight tests, and other situations where the applicant may interfere with driving of the car. The driver's assessment for the elderly shall be established by the registration body in consultation with the Medical Advisory Committee established by Section 8C. The applicant who renews the license must complete the form after reaching the age of 75 or 60 months from the expiration date of 36 months. The registrar can not issue licenses until the consent is satisfied by the applicant as a qualified person.

In most countries, 18 years old is the minimum age to get a driver's license. In the United States, most states are 16 years old and allow unsupervised driving. In a study highlighted in the September 2008 report by IIHS, we found that lives can be saved by increasing the age at which a driver's license can be obtained. The focus of this survey was to promote age and regulation in various countries, but found that increasing the age of driving can significantly reduce crashes involving young American drivers. According to a survey by 2017 Liberty Mutual, older teenagers found that there was a higher chance of dangerous behavior than the youngest drivers. In this survey, we surveyed 3,000 high school students, I am confident in the driving ability after 75% of the high school graduates have been driving for several years, 71% were using mobile phones while driving. According to the report, more than half of elderly people are car accidents and minor mistakes, compared to 34% of second-graders in high school.

Taking into account the overall maturity of adolescence it is safe to say that raising the minimum operating rate should be considered. According to Allstate's blog, "Driving accidents are the leading cause of death for people under the age of 18." Because young teenagers' brains are not mature, young drivers decline judgment and stimulate excitement I ask, move my mood, and probably drive them. Impulse of skill to give a negative influence. If adolescents' driving skills are adversely affected, they will not only pose a danger to themselves, but will also pose dangers to other drivers.

Why is N. J. the only state to do this with the above data and the support of many experts to raise the minimum driving age? The answer may be in a recent online survey. It is to answer the question "Whether the legal minimum driving age should be raised to 18 years old or not". I answered 39% yesterday and 61% no. Clearly, the public and its elected representatives are not in favor of postponing licenses. However, recent achievements are the adoption of a phased driver license program or GDL program. The idea behind the GDL program is to have the new driver provide education and experience, then let him drive alone. In Georgia, driver's licenses begin with a license from 15 years old. In the eight provinces, the GDL program requires that people over the age of 16 apply for permission (CT, DE, KY, MA, NJ, NY, PA, RI, and D.C.). A permitted driver can only drive a driver's license over 21 years old
