Raise the Driving Age to 18! After reading Mr. J. Brown's letter, dated August 15, I feel compelled to write and let your readers know how I feel about raising the driving age from 16 to 18. Teenagers should not be allowed to drive until they are 18. Only high school graduates should be given a driver's license, and only after successfully completing a driver's education class during their senior year of high school. Right now, 15-year-olds can get a practice permit and try for their license at 16. This is too young. Eighteen is a better age. At 18, people are more mature and better able to make mature decisions. Not all 18-year-olds are mature, but the majority of them are. At least we are more mature than 15-year-olds. Which sentence provides the BEST supporting point to defend the author's position?
