In the article “Teen at the wheel: A Tribune Update; should 16-year-olds drive?” they discuss about whether or not 16 years old is the right time to drive.

    The article includes several of details and quotes. It’s a question that could reverberate across the country, whenever a new teen driver is turning a key in an ignition. Is 16 the right age to get your driver’s license?  Researchers for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety say the answer is no, and they point to statistics to back up the position that raising the driving age makes sense and would save lives. The insurance institute had pressed the question for years. A combination of factors contributes to make teenagers poor drivers.

   I think that 16 is a good age to start driving. I think they should have to take a 3 test. I think they should a written test, and test on the computer, and a test driving. I think they should take those entire tests just to be sure that the person is ready to drive.

   I am 15 and I have had this experience already. I was driving on the rode practicing so that I would be ready for when that time really comes for me to take the test and drive in the car.

   This article helped me think more deeply about this topic. I now see that driving is serious because if there’s a mistake then someone can really get hurt.

   I have no more questions to be asked but I do have a comment. When the day comes to take the test be careful, pay attention, and do your best.
