driving to the funeral

1. She states that car crashes are the number one death from 15-20 year olds. "in Massachusetts alone, one third of 16-year-old drivers have been involved in serious accidents."
2. "It’s become a sad rite of passage in many American communities, the services held for teenagers killed in auto accidents before they’ve even scored a tassel to hang from the rearview mirror." "Perhaps the only ones who wouldn’t make a fuss are those parents who have accepted diplomas at graduation because their children were no longer alive to do so themselves, whose children traded freedom and mobility for their lives."
3. People would think about her argument because she writes for a major company. "Soccer field, Mickey Ds, mall, movies.Of course, if that’s the rationale, why not let 13-year-olds drive?"
4. I think she was very persuasive. i mean i agree but i am still glad i have a license and i dont want to give it up. She might convince some teen drivers to watch out and be more careful. Prabably all of the parents with children that are going to drive one day. After reading this tehy are going to think differently about the roads and driving situations. Also the driving people. It shows that they might need to increase the driving test so they are accually good drivers when they start to drive on there own.
