Persuasive essay

All data contained in this essay is not completely true.
“Car crash kills 6 people.” This is a natural heading from a local newspaper after a group of teenagers obtain their license. I have heard that you are planning on changing the law that you have to have your high school diploma in order to get your license. I think that the legislative should peruse the new idea and make it a law. There are countless reasons that it should become a law. One, the streets would become safer, two the maturity level is higher when you graduated than when you begin high school, and lastly it motivates teenagers to earn their high school diploma. I think that it is a one of a kind idea, to have teenagers wait till they till they earn their high school diploma to be able to drive.

First off, if the law is changed than the streets will be a lot safer. When you turn sixteen teens have the privilege of earning their license. When teens turn sixteen they are so excited to acquire their license they don’t care how fast they go or any of the other laws for driving that are commonly abused. If you make students wait till they earn their high school they are more likely to be careful, thus the streets will be safer. 80 percent of crashes occur with drivers that have earned their license in the last 6 months. My sister got killed in a crash 3 months after she got her license. When teenagers grow up, their maturity level increases, causing a variety of good consequences.

Secondly, teens are more mature after high school than they are before high school. Experts say that when teens are at the age of 16 they are not mature enough to handle the stress and control of driving. Those teenagers that wait until high school have an 89.56 percent chance of surviving till they are 60. Maturity in the dictionary means you are fully developed and are in perfect condition. If the legislative changes the law, teens will be more mature and they will be more careful. I think that the legislative should make young adults wait till they acquire their high school diploma.
Last but not least, it will give students a beneficial reason to work hard and earn their diploma. If teens can have a good reason to obtain a high school diploma than they will work harder and get exponential grades in high school. Dr. Johnson states that, “If young adult have a good motivation, they are more likely to reach their goals in life.” 90 percent of teens will get their high school diploma if they have some kind of reward to motivate them to reach it. In the past if somebody wants me to work for something, I will get it done a lot faster if I have some kind of reward, or in this scenario you are able to get you high school diploma. Some people might say in controversy that it would make parents have to drive them to school, but if the parents make the kids walk or ride the bus then it won’t cause an issue.
In conclusion, as you can see, there are a lot of reasons why you should make teens wait to drive till they earn their high school diploma. The streets will be a lot safer, teenagers are more mature when they graduate than when they turn 16, and it will give students at high school a good reason, similar to a reward, to get their high school diploma. You should definitely change the law. So what do you think?
