Letter to the editor: Raise driving age to 21?
In light of the recent school shootings, there is the Anti-Constitution group that wants to raise the age to buy a rifle to 21. Before you say yes or no, consider this: Between 2014 and 2018, there were 20,626 fatal car crashes from the age group 15-20. How about raising the driving age to 21? Teen drivers have the highest involvement in fatal crashes than any other age group, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.
We should also raise the voting age to 21 since most 18-year-olds don’t have a clue who they’re voting for. Then there is the military. 21 to join? Why not? I think the number 21 should cover it all.
