Both passages debate the minimum age required to apply

for a driver’s license. On one hand, passage 1 claims that some

safety expert and politicians have proposed raising the
minimum driving age to 18. On the other hand, passage 2 agree
with that most states require drivers to be 16 or 17, in some
states like Alaska, 14-year-olds can apply for their learner’s
permit. While both passages make valid points, passage 2,
which is in favor of driver’s age does not matter, present the
strongest argument.
To begin, passage 2 says that the minimum driving age to 18
years old have been proposed by some politicians in order to
reduce the number of fatalities each year due to teen-related
driving accidents. The leading cause of road accidents and were
often cited by the age of young teen drivers. Another powerful
point addressed in the text is that data from the Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety backs this up by showing that
raising the driving age does not actually prevent teen driver
crashes, it just delays them.
Furthermore, he or she begins with zero driving
experience, no matter at what age a teenager first begins to
drive. According to their statistics, the death rate due to driving
accidents in Connecticut (where the driving licensing age is 17),
it is the highest among 17-years-old. It is the experience of the
driver that leads to some accidents, and it is not the age of
driver that matters. Kate Willette of Seattle’s SWERVE Driving
school agrees that it’s careful and extensive training, more than
age, that prepares teenagers to be safe drivers.
However, passage 1 that argues the minimum age for
driving license is 18 make some valid points. Scientific evidence
shows that the brain of an average teen operates very
differently from that of average adult and that younger teens
often make careless decision that can put their own lives and
the lives of others in danger. Data provided by the Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety show that twice as many fatal
crashes involve 16 to 17 years old than 18 to 19 years old, so it
simply make sense to raise the minimum driving age.
Passage 1 and 2 both present valid arguments, but passage
2 in favor of the age of driver does not matter provides more
reasonable arguements
