Should we lower the driving/permit age to 14 in the US?
The age should not be lowered, if anything it should be raised.. Studies have shown that having a car and driving lower a student’s interest in school. I happen to believe that a driver’s license should be tied to Graduation from High School, therefore encouraging young people to continue with the most basic part of their education. Believe it or not there are actually a lot of years available in life after being a teenager. Driving a Go Kart on a track is certainly a lot different that handling a full sized car or truck on the streets of life. There are a lot more lives at stake in that situation than in taking a few laps around a track. Relax and enjoy life, the burdens of responsibility will come to soon and after that there is no going back.
