Driving Age

The question about raising the minimum age for a driving license has been pushed to the headlines because of the growing amount of automobile accidents. Whether it would reduce or even prevent accidents of this sort or will simply do no good is the heart of this argument. Some would say that raising the minimum age for a driving license will clearly reduce the amount of car accidents in Israel. There will be fewer drivers …

…car crashes. The only logical reason for the fact that young ( new) drivers are much more involved in car crashes is that they are inexperienced, that fact will not change whether new drivers are 17 years old or they are 27 years old. The minimum age for a driving license has been raised and reduced but the amount of deaths on the road has only increased. Until this epidemic isstopped this debate will probably exist. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
