Here are some more questions I would like to ask Representative Weaver. If the driving age is raised to 21, what will happen to all the afternoon
jobs, the afternoon sports, and the afternoon programs that require some sort of transportation? What will happen to America's economy (and
its spirit) when high schoolers can no longer work the fast-food jobs and restaurant hostess positions? "A teenager behind the wheel is the
symbol of American youth," writes author Peter Chacha: What will happen to this symbol if Representative Weaver's plan is approved? Weaver
also claims that "a majority of seat belt violations" are the fault of the under-21 crowd. But let me ask you this: Do people under the age of 21
really wear their seat belts less often than older people, or are they just caught more often? That is, we know the police have their eye on the
teenagers, but are they looking at the adults as well?
But I can hear it now: "If teenagers are all So safe, why do they have such high accident rates?* Here's a possible answer, inexperience. Like
anybody who is inexperienced, the teenage driver must suffer through a legitimate period of self-doubt and skills acquisition. Chances are, if the
driving age were moved to 21, we would see 21- to 24-year-olds causing the largest percentage of safety problems-not because of a maturity
problem, mind you, but just because they would be inexperienced at driving.
