The document discusses whether the driving age should be raised to 18. It notes that between 1995 and 2004, over 30,000 fatalities involved 15 to 17 year olds, with teens making up a third of deaths. Raising the age could create inexperienced 18 year old drivers. The author argues the minimum age should be 17 to reduce crashes through more practice, as New Jersey has fewer crashes with an age of 17 compared to other states. Limiting passengers could focus teen drivers more on driving.
