Do you want to drive a car next year when you are 16 years old once you have your Driver’s License? Well the law is to keep the driving age at 16 years old. The people who are involved is you, your parents, and your driving education instructors. Therefore, the driving age should stay at 16 years old because driving can be dangerous regardless of which age you are; driving gives you freedom, and also teaches you responsibilities.
  The only problem with being 18 years old when you start driving is that you won’t be as much prepared for “the real world.” Teenagers wouldnt’t be prepared to drive, have a good experience, and also become a young adult, as they get older to become mature. However, I hope that teenagers keep the driving age at 16 years old and don’t ruin it for other teens. Why I think that is important because some teenagers get so excited about driving that they just want to do it right away, and they’re plenty of teens who actually want to take the time and learn to drive.
  I think the driving age is fine at 16 years old. It seems unfair to keep raising everything up as time goes.Teenager’s should have more training from their parents, and have more rules to follow when they get their license like only daylight driving or something of that sort. It is hard enough as it is to find jobs as a teen, and then not being able to drive yourself there when your 16 or 17 seems outrageous. Otherwise, there should be more laws and more involvement of parents teaching their teens how to drive in order to decrease the accident rates. It's not that teens are not responsible or careless enough to know how to drive it's that they aren't experienced enough, and need more training on the road. The age should stay at 16 years old and should definitely not rise to the age of 18 years old.
  The age of 16 years old of driving age should stay the same because regardless of which age you are something could easily happen you could be 25,30, or even 35 years old  you could still get into a car accident. The age of the person shouldnt’t matter, the person themselves should matter. The reason why I think that is because every teenager is different all teenagers don’t have the same knowledge that other teens don’t have. However, keeping the driving age is the best thing because teens will have a good experience in learning how to drive.
  Keeping the driving age at 16 years old gives teenagers’ freedom. It gives freedom because it shows them to be responsible and it gives them a privilege to being able to drive at a young age. It would give the teenagers the freedom to drive themselves instead of their parents driving them everywhere. For instance, driving at 16 years old would give you the freedom to drive away from your parents or, go any where you would like to go like going out with your friends.
   Teenagers’ driving at the age of 16 years old teaches them how to be responsible because then teenagers would feel independent and have responsibilities as an adult. Learning to drive before your 18 years old prepares you with the responsibilities that you need as a teenager in order to become mature as an adult. However, I think the driving age should be at 16 years old because it is better to learn to drive at an earlier age than at a later age to practice driving lessons.

I believe the legal driving age in ontario should stay the same which is 16 because a lot of people are relying on driving to get to school. Its should also stay the same if not the economy could go down again because not enough people will be able to get to school (university/college).
