d.
representative weaver claims that his bill is motivated by

"nearly half of all accidents involve people under the age of 21."
representative weaver claims.
ing the driving age," he adds,
"would mean raising the level of safety on america's roads."
but i would ask representative weaver the following
questions: do not "nearly half" of all accidents involve men?
wouldn't the streets be safer, then, if male drivers were
abolished? and what about the percentage of accidents
occur on paved roads? should we do away with paved roads,
too?
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 sports, and
programs that require some sort of transportation? what will
happen to america's economy (and its spirit) when high
schooler students can no longer work at restaurants?
"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? we
know the police have their eyes on the teenagers, but are
they looking at the adults as well?
