Should 16 year olds drive

In the article " Should 16-year-olds drive", by Ted Gregory , approached the question many people asked. Should 16 year olds drive ? Reseachers for the Insurane Institute for Highway Saftey say the answer is no.

The Institues 17 - page report collects reseach on the minium driving age from the United Sataes and countires that have higher liscensing ages and reseaching shows states making progress in reducing motor vehicles crashes.

Among the state's 17-year-olds, the percent in fatal crashes dropped 33 percentage since New Jersy lowed driver's licensed at the age of 17. " we're still losing alot of teens on the road each year", said Lund. Motor vehicles crashes kill more then 5,000 teens every year. A combination of factors contribute to make teenagers poor drivers.

Their young minds , social and entertainment wise seek relatively immature and varaciously seeks sensual arousal, novelty, and risk. The teen brian is particuraly vulnerable to distraction and peer pressure.

Brent johnson a driving teacher at Hinsdale Centralsaid, " The teen driving issues are not about age and maturity as mush as they are about good decisions and demonstrating expetional behavior."

Teens shouldnt be permitted to drive until they are older but it also boils down to responsibily.Teens need more experience then justb on test and on test drive. They need more rivision on the road .

Evry teen is trying to drive to feel more older and with the new technology it becomes harder for them to focus.

The seizure follows the roughly $3.4 million worth in ivory found last month and one of the largest ever seized in Hong Kong.The agency seized 1,209 pieces of ivory tusks and 3 pounds of ivory ornaments from the two containers, discovered over a period of two days.

The economy is bad not just in America but other countries to . Its bad enough that they have to kill endangerered species just to get the money. They would of eventually gotten caught .

This is horrible . If the economy is then somone needs to do something. If it isnt the enconomy then they are sadist who light to cut things apart for fun. They need to be put in jail for a long time for that .

What took Authorities so long to discover this? How long has it been going on? Was it in investigation or suspicion? Will they get the time in jail people expect or a bargain?

Obama re - election was a great thing . He is a good president and could improve America . He has his faults also . His good side is with women’s rights and foreign affairs . As his bad sides are with jobs and laws.

Obama healthcare has been slacking as well . Obama needs to help filling these empty schools and stop building bridges for unnecessary reasons

Will Climate change Get Some RespectNow ?


In the article Will Climate Change Get Some Respect Now , President Obama and Mitt Romney  in this seemed determined not to discuss climate change in this change campaign . But many scientists beleieve that rising carbon emissions could make extrememe weather - like Sandy - more likely . Isnt it time to talk not only about weather , but also climate .

 
Govenor Andrew Cunomo of Newyork told President Obama " have 100 - year flood every two years now ." The NY times  has reported that three of thr 10 biggest floods in Lower Manhatten since 1900 have occure in the last three years.

 Demorats have been ansent , change Republicans have even more stubborn .This is odd because areas of national security Repulicans pride themsleves on their preparedness . Computers models suggest that hurricanes won`t necessarily become more frequent , but they may become stronger .

 
This matter is important because everybody needs to know about the climate.  If computers say hurricanes will become stronger then The President And Govenor need to dicuss how will they provide safety fo us .

 
For the past 4 years the climate weather have been unexpected for a least half of the states in Amercica . The President and Govenor talk about everything from foreign affairs to natural resoures but , when it comes to inform America about the climate and how to prepare for it they act completly oblivious. The safety of America depends on guidence .
How do we prepare for the nexy hurricane ? Why is the President And Govenor acting ignorant to this ?
