Nowadays we sadly hear about young drivers who are involved in many car accidents. Teenagers can get a driver's license at the age of 17. The organization of accident victims believes that this might be the reason for the rise in fatal accidents, and proposed that the age for getting a driver's license should be raised to 19.

As a 17 year old teenager, I agree that the age for getting a driver's license should be raised to 19. At the age of 17 teenagers are usually not mature, they tend to think that they are grown up and know everything, but the reality shows different. Everyday teenagers deal with lots of pressure at school, therefore, they suffer from a lack of sleep. lack of sleep may cause a lack of alertness and concentration, and this is very dangerous on the road.
.
Moreover, teenagers are not responsible enough at the age of 17. Although they are not allowed to drink alcohol, most of the teenagers usually do. Unfortunately, there are many incidents of drinking and driving among teenagers. Teenagers probably cannot understand the severity of their actions, and they cause many fatal accidents.
.
To sum up, I think that teenagers should focus on their studies and deal with the driver's license later in their lives. I believe that the ages of 19-20 is the ultimate age to start studying for a driver's license, when they are more mature and responsible. I hope that eventually the road would be a safer place, and teenagers would not get hurt by these stupid accidents.
