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.

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

also climate .
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 .
