Mhoro Amazing Readers,
Today I'm going to be sharing with you my opinion on The Age in NZ should be changed for driving. First our teacher told us to write down in our books the question we picked for Fact of Opinion and make it into a paragraph. We had to make 3 paragraph and the paragraph had to have at least 3 sentences. Well I guess I should get onto what I wrote for my question (The Age in NZ should be changed for driving) Here's my amazing work.
The Age in NZ should be changed for driving
I think the age of children in NZ for driving should be changed because studies have shown that 16 and 17 years olds have twice as many crashes as 18 and 19 year olds. So that’s why I think the age should be changed to 18 years when you're more mature and are almost in University.
33% of deaths among 13 to 16 year olds in 2010 occurred in motor vehicle crashes.
56% of teens said they talk on the phone while driving. Do you think people at the age of 16 are mature enough to drive a car when there in high school? Or do you think they’re more mature to drive a car at the age of 19 when they're almost in University and are more in Adulthood? This is why the New Zealand age for driving should be changed from 16 to 19.
Here is a quick fact, “16 and 17 year olds have twice as many crashes as 18 and 19 year olds.”
15 and 16 year olds are less mature than 18 and 19 year olds. 15 and 16 year olds are still just preteens and are still children. They are still under their parents rules and they sometimes think they're adults and do what they want. They are mostly on their phones and think their phones are important and mostly get tempted to go on their phone while driving and end up getting into a car crash.
18 and 19 year olds are more mature than 15 and 16 year olds because they are almost in University and are more into their learning and getting ready for the adulthood world. They are less on their phones and are ready to look after their siblings and themselves. They also have less car crashes than 15 and 16 year olds and they pay more attention to when they're driving.
Why the driving age should be 18. There are some strong, data-based arguments to be made in favour of raising minimum driving age. The rate of fatal crashes per mile driven is around half as high for teens aged 18 and 19 as for 16 and 17 year olds. It is thought that raising the driving age to 18 could help lower the overall rate of fatal crashes. When you are older you have more experience to things in life.
So this is why 18 and 19 year olds should drive before 15 and 16 year olds. I hope you understand why 19 and 18 year olds should drive before 15 and 16 year olds. How old do you think people should be to be able to drive?
