Read the below passage carefully and answer the questions:

Quinn: Our state is considering raising the age at which a person can get a driver's
license to eighteen. This is unfair because the age has been sixteen for many years and
sixteen-year-olds today are no less responsible than their parents and grandparents were
at sixteen.Many young people today who are fourteen and fifteen years old are preparing
to receive their licenses by driving with a learner's permit and a licensed driver, usually
one of their parents. It would not be fair to suddenly say they have to wait two more
years.

Dakota: It is true that people have been allowed to receive a drivers license at sixteen for
generations. However, in recent years, the increase in traffic means drivers face more dangers

longer afford to teach drivers education results in too many young drivers who are not
prepared to face the traffic conditions of today.
