PROP:

A 16-year old Rock Hill High junior who was a passenger in a car driven by a 17-year-old died in a December crash.

A 10-year-old Clover girl died a few days earlier after the car driven by her 16-year-old sister was involved in a head-on collision.

A 15-year-old boy from York died in September after the car he was riding in - driven by a 16-year-old - crashed. according Herald online

Hello I’m Georgia and i will be speaking for the proposition side of this argument. Let me outline a few of the propositions main arguments. My first point is death rates for the drivers, passengers, victims, and the toll it puts on the families of them According to USAtoday.com Already, on average, two people die every day across the USA in vehicles driven by 16-year-old drivers. One in five 16-year-olds will have a reportable car crash within the first year.

and according to the National Highway Safety Administration More than 5,000 U.S. teens die each year in car crashes. The rate of crashes, fatal and nonfatal for 16-year-old drivers is almost 10 times the rate for drivers ages 30 to 59, says the huffington post The numbers i just read to you should make it beyond clear we as a country and state we need to take action. One study from the 1990s found that the rate of crash-related deaths among 16- and 17-year olds were 18 per 100,000 in New Jersey, compared with 26 per 100,000 in Connecticut. And since those states have

instituted graduated driver's license programs those numbers have been decreasing. –huffington post The impact behind this is lives being lost most of which are innocent in these car accidents. And accidents are exactly what they are we can however help prevent them by raising the driving age and having more time for the kids to have to drive only under adult supervision.

"The bottom line is that when we look at the research, raising the driving age saves lives,” Adrian Lund, president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety said. Secondly a teenager age 15-16 are not mentally ready to be behind the wheel which is proven above with the extraordinary number of car crashes and is now also scientifically proven. New findings from brain researchers at the National Institutes of Health explain why there is such a higher risk of teen driving accidents. It is "the executive branch" of the teen brain. That is the part that weighs risks, makes judgments and controls impulsive behavior. Scientists at the NIH campus in Bethesda, Md., have found that this part of the brain is not fully developed until age 25 But evidence states that a 16-year-old's brain is generally far less developed than those of teens just a little older. says USAtoday.com A few years can make a huge impact on the amount of people killed each year in car crashes. Parents and teens may be unhappy but these studies are clearly stating what is best for society. And in the long run lives will be saved which is what everyone wants. My final point is property damage. Thank you and once again I’m Georgia for the proposition side of this debate.
