Should the driving age be raised?

Question:
I don't think the driving age should be raised, but I know people who do. What do you think? Should the driving age be changed, or is it fine the way it is?

Can a HGV driver legally have a pet dog in his drivers cabin whilst driving on a job?


the main reason was that 18 yr olds were not responsible with their drinking, and caused many accidents.

whiplash and other claims after a crash??


my solution would have been at age 18 you went to some bureaucrat and he asked you Drive or Drink? and you could have a license to do one or the other. (this might actually be a good idea up until age 25 or so.)

When you stop for a school bus that has its lights flashing and stop sign up...?

US DOT Pre-Inspections for Commercial?


As to younger kids... i think mandatory driver's education makes a heck of a lot more sense, i am happy to see many juristictions do this.

18 would be great.

What is the age limit to rent a car or truck in Ohio?

I think it should. I didn't think so when I was 16...HA! Looking back though, you gain a sense of mortality in your late teens. It's a normal thing for 16 year olds to feel invincible. I suffered from "It won't happen to me" syndrome as much as anybody else. The problem is that sometimes it does happen to you. This is not to say that all 18 year olds have gained that maturity either....but more have than 16 year olds.

What are the license restrictions on a Louisiana license?

yes it should be raised because there are too many young people eager and excited about driving when they arent fully ready to. Yeah I know you can get license and all but it doesnt prove enough to say you are ready......Drive around the block then you are suppose to be ready for whatever is out there? I think not

Can you use your car computer to temporarily disable your car's starter?

I really think the driving age should be raised. A teenager should not be allowed a learners permit until they are 18 and a drivers license at 19. That's my opinion.

My Chevrolet Aveo was hit head on yesterday, but the airbags did not deploy. Who do I call to report this?

Not really, no. Instead, it should be based on competency and willingness to follow the rules of the road. I've met young drivers who are far safer and more conscientious than many middle aged and older drivers. Safety and the ability to drive without endangering others should be the first requirement. Failure to retain those abilities should be grounds for immediate loss of the driving privilege no matter who you are or how old.

What side of the road are pedestrians and/or bicyclists supposed to stay on?

No, the driving age should not be raised. Most teenagers have enough maturity and responsibility to handle driving. And if they don't
then pay the consequences. I got my license at 16 and 8 months later no wrecks and no tickets. Getting driven around by your parents sucks. Some teenagers are even better drivers than adults especially old people who go 20 mph under the speed limit. Teenagers may not have the experience of adults but their reflexes
can be faster since they are younger.

What are "blind child" and "deaf child" warning signs?

Not necessarily; there are idiots of all shapes, sizes, colors, and ages. I do. however, think that the driver, NOT the parents, and or anyone else, should be held accountible for what happens to the car, whether they are 15 or 150.
