Raising the Teen Driving Age to 18


This article aims to improve young driver was killed on the concerns and what can be done to significantly reduce this alarming statistics. This article may be some readers of certain sensitive sectors, we will enhance what you can do to make the best of our young drivers and how to remind others of a new driver on the road driving.

Our previous articles raised questions about driving in the country, raising the minimum age to 18 years. Since the death of young people on the highway, the annual deaths than 9 / 11, we believe in our laws governing young drivers changes. From another point of view, it can be said for the U.S. road deaths of young people is greater than the number of U.S. soldiers killed before and after the war in Iraq! It is our way of war zones?

U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported 15-year-old to 20 years 3657 drivers died in 2003. In 2002, died in the same age the number of 3827. Although there has never been given a 9 / 11, we believe that the energy change in the government, money, war - to name a few - to implement the following September 11. If only a small part of the energy given to the driver of the youth problems, may be able to reduce the death of young drivers in 2002 and 2003 - amazing 7484.

The following is a joint statement
- Gordon Booth, Chief Instructor train, in California, http://www.drivetrainusa.com and company
Eddie - Lane's drive and remain in New York, http://www.driveandstayalive.com, young people living on our drivers have problems:
"In some countries, studies have shown that not only young people, when they began to push higher, there is a first year of driving, the probability of death or serious accident, and that a young person's brain has not been fully developed until more than a dozen years have passed, which in turn reduces a young man as a safe driving ability.

Wisdom and genuine desire to protect young people are denied control, this is the best young people do not start driving until they are in the best of at least 17 or 18.

Obviously, if the parents can arrest a woman for 6 months, so do not start driving until 17 or 18, then one to see them mature at least 12 months. As the warehouse of a mature man back to a year or about 6 months to increase. "

Lack of experience, risk-taking behavior and immaturity are cited as the main reason for these incidents. Increase the driving age to 18 would not necessarily change, for three main reasons. Therefore, we must consider alternative solutions, and promote the education process itself.

Driver education are still relatively

Our drivers and the process of education compared to other countries is an exploration of possible solutions to the important step. And to Germany as an example, we are able to obtain from the German School in transmission http://www.fahrschule.de the following information directly to

       * First, you must be at least 18 years old.
       * Upon completion of the driver and school education in the trial period of 2 years. In this two-year driving in violation of minors need to participate in driver education courses. The most serious driving behavior will ask your driver's license be revoked. In any case, when your driver's license has been granted once in four years probation.
       * Driver training courses, including nearly 2835 names on the road driving school in order to meet the daytime, night and lessons learned from the expressway and teachers to follow the different conditions of classroom teaching time.

This includes not only traffic law in Germany, a small part. But it is clear that the U.S. has no such requirement.

How do I drive?

Young drivers, it is reasonable to suggest that many adults who do not have driver's license for many years on a sufficient knowledge of how to promote the car. They could have experienced traffic management, but the real and vehicles occur? In the education process should include the driver how to operate the rain, snow, ice, what to do, if you want to brake sharply at a higher speed - road conditions and under different conditions of vehicles, the sudden decision reflected the need for a second division, how to deal with automatic and manual transmission - to name a few.

Such training could be in a simulated driving course, at present RoadSafety.Com available (http://www.roadsafety.com) was held. Larry Selditz, right RoadSafety.Com the president had this to say:

"In the last 18 we have been in research and development work a few months, so that simulations of young drivers and other effective means. Simulators, although for many years, and in the key word here is" effective "science-based simulations. We have recently completed research and development phase, the project is in the process of development, helping commercially viable simulation product viable. Our vice-presidents, Mr. Fred Craft, is forming a new company to use technology to help development. Fred is a simulation of advanced automotive industry experts, I think this will be the article for your ideal contact input. I have forwarded a copy of your e-mail Fred.

I have always strongly advocated the training, I think this is a key component of the development of safe driving skills. This is a simulator can help to achieve. Our vehicle control and driver, a "black box" system is the key to the development of safe driving habits. As my friend Ron Thackery, vice president of risks and the safety of the U.S. medical response to, once told me: "How do you control can control - so no, you do not." This applies to young people and support. American Medical Response operates the world's largest ambulance team, and use our black box to monitor and improve driving performance. A reduction of more than 90% of the ambulance the number of accidents the same principles is used to form "black", and our young driver development. "

The impact on the economy

By increasing the driving age is 18 years of automobile manufacturers affected by major industries, automobile insurance, leading to gas companies and education. This basically covers the automotive industry's largest companies.

Car manufacturers can only see the purchase by three years, only for the first three-year delay in raising the minimum driving age factor to 18 years. Most of the summer before the age of 18, graduating from high school driver's license.

Auto insurance is expected to earn not have to pay insurance claims, due to young people aged from 15 to 18 companies money in a car accident. U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that about 30 million auto accidents each year in this age group, higher than the number of fatal accidents, the previously mentioned in this article were injured. Therefore, the auto insurance industry, there is an increase the age limit, without paying a three-year period from 15 to 18 years old returns 900,000 accident claims.

Natural Gas Corporation saw the use of gasoline to reduce income. If 15 to 18 year-old driver of the gasoline a major impact on revenue from the company as the writing of the evidence. However, it is safe to assume a certain degree of reduction will be obvious. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions to our planet.

Driving would be the most significant impact. In the first three years of short-term business losses. This can be used for three years, however, help to provide by federal and state government support. Amount of funding the project will be available after the September 11 terrorism continues to issue, if only a small part in this effort to help save our young people. In three years, the assistance in the preparation courses should be considered. In the long run driving school really fair, because it will have a better and more time, each student fees.

Following the family

For the new youth and their parents experience driving license driving license (lactone) post-graduate courses will not apply to the initial effects of changes in driving age of 18 years. Parents who license, operators who allowed their teenage drivers are most likely to be forced to follow their own "drivers" of 16 to 18-year-olds whose teenage activities. And valuable time will be taxed, you can get a fact that his son is still alive comfort, his car is not damaged car accident and your insurance has not doubled because of the policy-driven young people.

What will happen if we change the driving age?

I have a theory, the difference between utopia and reality is a choice. An individual or group choose to make a different change of direction or movement. Young drivers on the statistical needs a change. If you change the driving age of 18 years old, too big jump today, we can take small steps to help young people have a better education, learn how to drive, rather than blindly use of lethal weapons.

We have to look at a driving school must teach the students. Requirements should include not only the traffic safety, but the training of driving under different conditions. The wheels need to be equal to the course, now takes about 30 hours the number of hours the number of hours. Parents spend more money to succeed, but the extra cost is negligible compared to the lives of their loved ones.

Graduated driver's license (lactone) should be national requirements, including all new drivers for the trial period will last until the age of 18. Traffic violations during the probationary period must re-test the driver education courses, rather than an adult who is a defensive driving course, but with other youth. Asks young people to return to the same school, through the initial training they received would be considered a driver's education courses. Who is driving young people to participate in the follow-up re-education courses and participate in a driving school will also help to know whether there is a driving school can not be fully educating the young people.

Driving schools have always obvious, and students on the main road driving. Unfortunately, this requirement does not apply to the driver of a vehicle in the family trade unions plan a new driver. A new young drivers in the family of all vehicles have to be right back in the car at least one label, while the young people are through to 18.

Bumper stickers are not always feasible, is a teenager drove his car occasionally and vinyl paste it into the window does not solve the problem driving at night. The technology now exists to use car magnets thick night, reflection and durable. These types of car magnets can be found in auto safety magnets. http://www.autosafetymagnets.com to determine the path, these nearly 2 million should provide for the country.

In conclusion

We hope to be helpful information processing needs and determine the choice, if the driving age is maintaining the status quo, or appeared. We hope that the information is complete and shows the economic consequences and increase the driving age barriers. With these, why state and federal governments, as well as the automotive industry switched to rescue the alarming statistics? They are difficult economic times, financial problems, has been ahead of our young people it? We have to "cowboy up" In this country the problem resolution.

Information resources for parents of young people driving was safe. A driver's license with the students to learn the content of our young drivers involved in driver's license or the licensed operator who is drivers. Learner drivers and driver education, driver training schools driving courses driving or traffic school.
