Raising the Minimum Age for Driving Motorcycles to Twenty-One
In this essay I will discuss whether it would be better for society
and for the motorcyclist if the minimum age for driving would be
raised to 21 years. I will discuss the monetary and non-monetary
benefits, the private costs and benefits and the social costs and
benefits. I will also discuss and explain rationality and
maximization.
Rationality is making a well thought through decision weighing all
factors involved. In this case some of the rational decisions that
need to be made are if you want to buy new gear or used. This will of
course make a huge difference when you talk about the price. Another
rational decision you need to make is how often you want to use and
what you want to use it for. This will help you to decide what sort of
gear and motorcycle would best suit you.
Maximization is a secure optimal solution. An example of this is how
often you want to use and what you want to use it for. This will help
you to decide what sort of gear and motorcycle would best suit you.
Depending on what you want to use your motorcycle for you will be able
to make the optimal decision regarding the equipment you choose to
buy.
The private costs of riding a motorcycle are helmets, leather
clothing, protection, gas and insurance. A new helmet costs about 150
euros. The price range is everywhere from 50 euros to 500 depending on
the type of helmet you prefer. The leather clothing that you will need
when you are riding a motorcycle can cost anywhere from 150 to 1000
euros. The average, new, one piece leather suit however costs about
500 euros. The protection that you need when riding a motorcycle is a
back protector and knee guards. A back protector can cost anywhere
from 20 to 120 euros. The average back protector costs approximately
70 euros. The knee protectors can vary from about 10 euros to 60 and
the average knee protector costs 30 euros.

I don’t believe raising the driving age by only one year would reduce accidents at all. There’s a possibility the teenager hasn’t even matured yet, and would still be just as likely to be irresponsible on the road as they were merely a year ago. At this young age, most kids driving are more likely to test their limitations on the road and are influenced by their peers to try something daring and fun. They tend to have little concern for the road they share with others. They can also be nervous about driving and may focus only on their performance, rather than also looking out for other dangers the drivers around them may be setting. Furthermore, the decision making parts of their brain are still under development, even well after the teenage years, which is likely to impact their behavior on the road.
“I am superman; I am invincible”, is what one young man thought of himself on August 30, 2009. He left a friend’s house with a young woman in the car with him; it was a dark night and he was feeling good about himself. He thought he would try to impress the young girl and went way too fast. As he topped the hill, he ran off the road, over-corrected, and lost control of his vehicle. The accident claimed both their lives. Numerous car accidents involve young teenage drivers. Raising the minimum driving age to 16 would greatly reduce the number of automobile accidents involving teen drivers because they lack experience on the road, they lack maturity, and they would have less accidents resulting in safer roads.
Most people look forward to their 16th birthday because they are legal to drive. In 2012 there was 13,891 car crashes were reported but over 900 people were killed. Alcohol played a role in 260 fatal crashes. Speeding was a factor in13.2 percent of fatal crashes. So should we Michigan raise the driving age? Yes, Michigan’s driving age should be raised because of the number of people getting killed , having distractions and the fact that teens don’t care what could happen.
Also it is used in many other areas such as toaster, microwave oven, handwriting recognation, helicopter flight control system, etc. (Ural, 2006). Application areas are getting more more by the time.
Driving is something people do everyday. Although many people do it well, some do not, that being said the legal age to drive should be raised to twenty one years of age. The driving age should be raised because teens at the ages of fourteen through twenty should not be behind the wheel for the simple fact that they are just too young and too inexperienced to drive, also someone of that age can get more distracted than a person who is twenty-one or older and has had some time to mature and become responsible enough to operate a motor vehicle. “In the United States, 16–19-year-olds have the highest incidence of motor vehicle deaths among licensed drivers and motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among 15–20-year-olds.” (Haggerty
I. Introduction A. Should 16 year old teenagers be able to drive? B. “Those who favor raising the driving age say that statistics show teenagers are more likely to get into accidents than adults. What they don't say is that statistics also show that men of all ages are 77 percent more likely to kill someone while driving than women.
Somewhat Useful 4) Very Useful 5) Can’t Do Without 24. Is the information you encounter mostly trivial or good for making important or big decisions? 1) Trivial 2) Big Decision 3) Small Decision 4)
Teens only make up seventeen percent of the population today, but almost twenty percent of fatal crashes are due to teenagers behind the wheel. Growing numbers suggest to change the driving age to eighteen and some even believe that changing it to twenty-one may save even more lives. With a sixteen year old behind the wheel, accidents are even more likely to occur when compared to a seventeen year old (Boulard). With so much new technology in today’s society there are more distractions on the road than ever before; therefore the legal driving age should be raised to save more lives. If we do not act quickly then more lives will be lost.
Engines roaring and cars flying down the highway recklessly, racing to the finish. This is a stereotyped outlook on teen drivers. This however, is not the case. Teens don’t drive to race down the road. They drive for freedom. They drive to get where they need to be on their own. The driving age should not be raised to 18 because it takes away their feeling of freedom, Denies the access to needed transportation, denies experience, It puts additional stress on parents, and they need to be learning the driving skill while they’re young.
