Prior to reading, “Teen Drivers”, I thought teen driving was not as big as an issue as the general public made it. Now I am concerned by my age group’s actions and believe the strict driving laws for youth are justified by the facts and the attempts to prevent the rising accidents among teens. In the article, the author quotes the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which states, “Crashes are the leading cause of death among American teens, accounting for more than one third of all deaths of sixteen- to eighteen-year-olds.” This not only proves the danger of inexperienced drivers to themselves, but also the danger they cause to other drivers on the road and the possible passengers in the car as well.
