Why Do Autonomous Vehicles Matter?

Every day teens are given access to automobiles. Every day these young people go to their jobs, classes, and athletic practices. Do they all abuse their driving privileges? No. Then why restrict all teens, including the law-abiding and mature, by raising the driving age? This debate reaches all across the nation, to all levels of government, and many related laws and propositions can be found. If the driving age is increased, teenagers will have more difficulty getting jobs and gaining experience. On the other hand, if the driving age is 18, new drivers will have more maturity. So the question remains, should the legal driving age be 18 years old? No, the current driving age

An extreme number of research and data have pointed out that teens are not equipped with safe driving skills. These numbers have lead to countless arguments between teens and adults. All though teens are more interested in their phone then a car they still have a desire to get onto the road. The car offers an immense amount of self conscious and maturity to a teen. This is one of the main points as to why teens are so eager to get out on the road as soon as possible. If and when they do get on the road they look right past the consequences that may occur with driving at such a young age. Without a doubt teenage drivers are very inexperienced when it comes to their first trips on the road because the only prior training they can get is practice

Is it really safe to drive a car or be a passenger in one? Does the age of other drivers on the road make it any safer? Some states in the U.S want to raise the minimum driving age from 16 to 18. Albeit many drivers, and passengers alike, may think the minimum driving age should be raised to 18 because of the number of traffic accidents caused by younger drivers, the minimum driving age should remain at 16 because the responsibility of having a car can influence teenagers to be more responsible with other aspects of their lives, teens would not have to rely on their parents for transportation, and it could help adolescents build up experience to improve their driving.

Young drivers between the ages of 15 and 20 experience high collision rates on roads, And this requires the need for raising the legal driving age to not have unnecessary injuries to our future generations. No parent or loved one ever wants to lose a child to an avoidable automobile collision caused by driver inexperience, preventable error, or carelessness behind the wheel. Additionally, the volume of traffic on US roads and highways alone causes intimidation among many experienced drivers.

In this day in age everyone is driving from 5 to 50. Now what does that mean? It means that now a days kids are technically learning to drive through video games or go carting. Because driving has become so second nature to most of us we believe that we can multitask by texting, letting ourselves become distracted, or eating and driving. Why be reckless when we don’t have to be.

A few people may say that it is not fair to let adults determine if teens should drive, however, many teens actually agree with raising the driving age. A seventeen-year-old from Nashville, Liza Darwin, agrees that raising the driving age would benefit the public (Davis, p.249). Not only do teens support raising the driving age, so do many adults. A Gallup Poll found that sixty-one percent of people say that sixteen is too young to drive and only thirty-seven percent oppose raising the driving age (Davis, p.248). With almost two-thirds of society agreeing sixteen is too young to drive, it only makes sense to move the driving age and save a ton of lives which benefits

Teenagers dream of the day when they will receive their license and take a step closer to independence and gaining freedom from their parents. It is the rite of passage that many fifteen-year old yearn for. We count the days to our 16th birthday, waiting to make a trip to the Department of Motor Vehicles to receive our permit. It is exciting, exhilarating and just the mere thought of racing down the country roads make our spine tingle...Freedom! We all remember those months leading up to getting our permits but in those first days behind the wheel do we think about the number of deaths and accidents that occur due to teen driving? The number of families destroyed, futures cut short all because that excitement we feel takes us over and

Driving any type of vehicle is a big responsibility. The various laws and road safety rules are ones that need to be fully understood. While this is all very true there are some drivers who need to have time to learn and gain the experience to become good drivers. As the experience level of these people is still very low it is necessary for the teenage drivers to be careful as they begin to gain their experience. By letting the teenage drivers see the awesome responsibility that comes of driving any vehicle they may learn to be careful. This care will lead to more teenage drivers becoming

In the United States, more than 37, 000 people die from traffic accidents each year. (National Safety Council) Of these, teens, aged 16 to 19 are said to be three times more likely to be in a wreck than people above the age of twenty. These statistics draw a large question for law makers and citizens alike: should the legal driving age be changed? Like any issue, this issue has pros and cons on each side, but the question remains, which side will have a more positive impact? Of course, teenagers will be quick to agree with leaving the existent law in place, and older citizens will hold an opposing position. However, it is important to value each side of the debate, because with such serious matters, it is best to know all of the facts. Understanding

On July 2017, a Minnesota teen driver ran a red stop light ending the life of a father and his 10 year old daughter all because she was texting behind the wheel. Unfortunately, stories like this are happening way too often all over the country making motor vehicle crashes the leading cause of death for teens in the US. These situations have sparked the debate of whether or not the legal driving age should be raised. As a teenager, driving can seem like the most important part of your life. Growing up is hard enough, and as teenagers lead busy lives packed with sports, volunteer work, paid jobs and hobbies, driving can seem like a way of improving their everyday life. However, with teen driving comes the horrors of reality. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2015, “2,333 teens were killed and 221,313 were treated in emergency departments due to injuries suffered in motor vehicle crashes.” Many people argue that these crashes are the cause of teens immaturity, inexperience, poor judgment, and the lack of the brains full development. Many government websites including “Kids Live Safe Organization” and “Department of Motor Vehicles” have taken the steps to tackle this problem by urging parents to talk to their children about how to be safe on the road. These websites have accomplished the job of informing parents of the dangers of irresponsible driving however the deaths continue to rise. There is no doubt that something has to change before more

Driving has been one of the most useful inventions that have been created since the 1930’s, but it hasn’t been until recently that it has become one of the most dangerous creations. We all are guilty of looking at our phone when we hear the buzz, or changing the song because it doesn’t meet your expectation. We are all lucky that when we cave into those negative behaviors that we are not the face on the news that was included in a five car pile-up on the freeway, but when we do see that on the new the most common thought is “That can’t happen to me”. Driving is an important skill that is learned in the teen years, but it shouldn’t be the only skill they learn. If we all want to have a safe ride to work, home, or just around the block, then the realization of not being the only person on the road becomes vital.

In a country with more than 2.95 million people milling about, we're bound to bump into each other at some point. Sometimes the effects are loud and a bit too devastating, but raising the state's driving age from 16 to 18 is still an idea borne of bureaucracy and not wisdom.Yes, our youngest happen to do most of the bumping and crunching out on the roadways, but that is still no reason to take away a privilege they have anticipated for years.As with most things, driving is a skill that has to be learned. It's not a textbook exercise, but one that develops as experience builds. People can be told how to maintain control of their car, but until that roadside hedge nearly becomes a catcher's mit, nothing truly substantive can be learned.Tough

Often people blame the young teens for their immaturity and lack of experience as contributing factors to the high rate of teen involved accidents. There are many teens out there that are contentious and have the maturity to handle the treacherous responsibilities of driving. On the other hand there are also teenagers that are immature and irresponsible, but their parents should deny their children licenses or permits until they learn to be responsible enough to drive. Kids at home tend to listen more to their parents until they're out of high school. Besides, if kids don't learn a skill with their peers, it's harder for them to pick it up on their own later. Also, training and educating programs teach teens to drive legally, but these programs do not produce safer drivers. Many drivers’ education programs don’t do very much to keep teens safe on the road and the government could do something about it. Most drivers’ education programs are nothing more than a basic lesson in how to handle a car since passing a driving test in the U.S. is sufficiently

Driving is the key to a teenager’s freedom of roaming roads and starting a life for themselves. This key is a sacred ritual in each child’s life; it should not be delayed. Recently, lawmakers have been debating whether or not the legal driving age should be raised from the current age of sixteen to eighteen. Lawmakers should not alter the legal driving age because it assists in educating the juveniles in responsibility, even though several can behave immaturely and are prone to texting, plus it also benefits parents.

The threshold question becomes: what kind of insurance will be required in order to cover accidents involving autonomous vehicles? One compelling argument suggests that governmental encroachment and regulation of current insurance laws at the state-level is tantamount to construct a uniform system. The impetus behind such reasoning is largely to thwart the opening of the flood gates for individuals to sue the manufacturers of the autonomous vehicles based on deleterious product liability claims. As the law currently stands, however, insurance laws are state-based, and need to be addressed at each state-level, respectively. States are still unclear on how the widespread use of such vehicles will impact their insurance laws. Michigan’s No-Fault laws will not be completely eradicated, but will be transformed in order to account for the rise in product liability concerns.
