The driving age should not be raised because if it is raised, parents will have to drive their 16 year old(s) everywhere, and they don't have time to do that. A lot of teens drive themselves places like school, work, and friend's houses, also just places to have fun. If you need to drive yourself to school in winter, but you aren't allowed to get your license until you're 18, and there is no bus by your house, it isn't a very good idea to bike. You also wouldn't be able to drive to work, and since many 16 year olds work in fast food restaurants now, if they change the driving age, those 16 year olds won't be able to get jobs as easily, affecting those restaurants.

The accidents are only from young drivers because they have less experience than older drivers. Just because some young drivers get into accidents, doesn't mean all of them do. How many sixteen-year-old teens have you met that have gotten into a car accident?
