At the age of 16 teenagers have a burning passion to drive. Driving symbolizes freedom and the beginning of a long process, in which the teenager gains independence from his parents. However, teenagers are reckless and driven by hormones, this leads to a lot of accidents involving young drivers.
I believe this is not a good idea(what isn't?). First of all in Israel teenagers go to the army at the age of 18, this is ironic because young people wield(ww.) a weapon at 18 but receive a driver's license only at the age of 19. Also, I believe young age is not the problem. I think increasing the age will only affect the age people drive but not their experience. They will still be new drivers, thus this(explain what "this" is?) accomplishes nothing.
Instead of increasing the driver's age, I think other measures can be taken. For example, more money should be invested in explaining the dangers of wild driving. Also, I think young drivers should be more controlled. The 3 month trial period is not enough; it should be topped with an extra test to see if they really drive safely.
In conclusion I believe the age should not be raised, definitely not to 19. I think driving at a young age is a too important part of our culture and it will be(ww. - have) a really big impact on our society. I think education and an extra safety test can help young drivers a lot more.
