A FOR AND AGAINST ESSAY LOWERING THE AGE PEOPLE CAN GET A DRIVING LICENSE

It’s a question that comes from a lot of years: When people can get their driving license? Many students want to get it when they are sixteen or seventeen and they can’t because of the actual law that has put the minimum age on 18.
On one hand taking the driving license earlier, at 16 will be better for a lot of students that now need to be driven by their parents to the places: school, gym,… They won’t need people to carry them and they will be preparated to go everywhere alone.
But on the other hand changing the law will cause a lot of other problems. The traffic on the cities will increase a lot, and related to this also the pollution will increase in cities. People younger than 18 aren’t preparated enough to can drive freely in highways or in the cities and the number of accidents will also be bigger.
In conclusion I think that the age of 18 to can start driving it’s the correct time when you can start driving because I think that if we reduced this minimum age the problems would be bigger than the good things.

In the “Passeig de la Indústria” you can go for a walk or do sport. The most beautiful church in Berga is Sta. Maria de Queralt, it isn’t situated inside the city, it’s in the top of a mountain in front of Berga. I think Berga is a very beautiful place to live and it’s not very big but you can find all the services and comforts that you need.
