Since, they are inexperienced compared to adults, they tend to have more accidents. They are too immature to handle difficult road situations. “Scientist at the NIH campus in Bethesda, Md., have found that this vital are develops through the teenage years, and isn’t fully mature until 25.” (Robert, 247-248 lines 14-16.) So, their brains are fully developed for maturity until 25. There brains need to be more developed for them to drive same.
Next, they tend to have more accidents. “In 2003, there were 937 drivers age 16 who were involved in fatal crashes.” That is a great deal of car crashes. Also, “in those wrecks, 411 of the 16-year-old drivers died and 352 passengers were killed. That is five times the rate of drivers that are 20 or older.” (Robert, 249 lines 64-68.)

Also, “A slight majority, 53% think teens should be at least 18 to get a license. Many states have raised the driving age by imposing restrictions on sixteen year old drivers. Limiting the number of passengers they can have, and late-night driving.” (Robert. 248, 35-36 and 39-42.) That is how people think the driver age should be
