While some people think teenagers are too young to drive cars, I believe that it has many advantages. For starters, if teenagers can drive, it will save a lot of time for their parents. That is because kids will be able to drive themselves to academies, the movies, the shopping mall, etc. Second of all, a teenager driving is good because it gives them lots of practice. They will drive for the rest of their lives so it’s good for them to practice. A third advantage is that it gives teenagers more freedom. If I am a teenager, I would want to do things on my own without my parents. In conclusion, teenagers should be allowed to drive.

While some people think teenagers should drive, I believe that it has many disadvantages. For starters, it is very dangerous for teens to drive. That is because they are young and immature. In fact, many of them may play or mess around while driving. Second of all, it is very costly for the parents to buy cars for their children. Lastly, teenagers don’t have the intelligence or attention span to drive cars. They must learn many rules and they must also know how to control a car. Because they do not have lots of practice, it will be difficult for them to learn. In conclusion, teenagers should not be allowed to drive.
