Should teens be driving?

Should 16-year-old's drive? Report says raising age would save lives By Ted Gregory Chicago Tribune reporter

The main idea of this article is that people have been questioning for years "should 16-year-old's be able to drive?" They ask this question because over 5,000 teens die every year from car crashes on the road. 

Details or evidence i have to support my main idea for this article is when institute President Adam Lung says "We're still losing a lot of teens on the road each year." Lund was discussing the topic about how motor vehicle crashes kill more than 5,000 teens every year which adds on to my main idea in many ways. Another piece of evidence I have from the text is when the article brings up how Illinois has already took steps to reducing teen deaths due to car crashes with a award/punishment system basically. There is also people who appose this however and one of them is Linnea Greci who was 15 at the time of this article. Linnea said "I don't think it matters what age you are, as long as you have the practice and experience." That quote shows that she doesn't exactly agree with what people and officials are saying. 

In my opinion I also disagree with what people/officials are saying because to me driving skills depend on the maturity and intellect of the driver. There is no connection I can make but I do have an inference. 

This article has helped me to think more of the topic because now I have a idea why my mother won't let me drive until I am 18 because of this type of stuff that is going on in the world today. I can't think of any questions I might want to ask on this article however.
