Question

What do you think the legal age to start driving should be?? Why??

Answer 1

27  Insurance companies consider young men to be a high risk until age 27.  In the interest of equality, woman shouldn't drive till age 27, as well.

Answer 2

18. No kid needs to drive before that. They can WALK to school.

Lots of kids enter the ranks of working commuters at age 18 or enter a college or university that's far away, so they NEED to drive.

Answer 3

i agree with everyone that the age to get your license should be 18, however, i believe they should be able to get a permit at 16.

when the person is 16, they are more likely to be taught by their parents, and not friends.  at 18 most people go to college or move away from their parents.  their only choice is to have a friend that's barely 21 teach them.

this will also give them 2 solid years of learning.  this way they will have more experience in different types of road conditions and situations.

Answer 4

21...because...not all but...the majoraty of accidents are people under 21

Answer 5

18 years of age.........................

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among 15- to 20-year olds.

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, 3,490 drivers in this age group died in motor vehicle crashes in 2006 and an additional 272,000 were injured.

Drivers age 15- to 20-years old accounted for 12.9 percent of all the drivers involved in fatal crashes and 16 percent of all the drivers involved in police-reported crashes.

Twenty-five percent of teen drivers killed were intoxicated. In 2002 (latest data available) the estimated economic cost of police-reported crashes involving drivers between the ages of 15 and 20 was $40.8 billion, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA, http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov ).

Among licensed drivers, young people between the ages of 15 and 20 have the highest rate of fatal crashes relative to other age groups, including the elderly. In fact, the risk of being involved in a fatal crash for teens is three times greater than for drivers age 65 to 69.

Immaturity and lack of driving experience are the two main factors leading to the high crash rate among teens.
