Driver’s License Age Restriction
In Indonesia, there are many under age who are able to drive vehicles but they haven't got driver’s license yet and that makes another drivers feel annoyed. A resource from Indonesian Police mentioned that many casualties involve teenage drivers. According to Mr. Boy Rafli from Indonesian Police certain numbers which involve teenage drivers approximately 25-30%. He thinks how teenage drive is not well train enough. Driving is not something we can underestimate, there are two main reasons why driver’s license age restriction is important, that would be the immaturity of teenagers and casualty cases.
First of all, the day they get driver’s license they feel they will look for freedom. In this case parents will not have a chance to control them anymore and if there will be any forces to the teenagers they will try to against their own parents. Later on the children tend to lie about whether they are driving while their parents away from home for work or take care of things. If this keeps happening the teenagers can easily go to the wrong directions they think they know everything or they can handle anything turn out they barely have experiences about riding vehicles.
Second of all, driving needs full emotional and teenagers are tend to be childish. They would over react when something happen while they are driving, in addition because they think they know everything and can do anything while driving they tend to show of and speed up without thinking what effects they will cause by doing it. The truth is they put danger to another drivers or even people who walks around the street. Hopefully, parents prepare their teenager children on safe driving and practicing it might be decrease a certain number of accidents caused by under age drivers.
Refutation of the idea above that those teenagers do have the right for them to drive vehicles, also they cant be considered as a little kid. They can be more independent to do their activities without depending with the parents. We do know there are a lot of adult drivers who are the cause of casualty too.
In conclusion, here are several reasons why driver’s license age restriction is important, the immaturity of teenagers and casualty cases. it would take risks for the teenagers and it is also would take the lives of many innocent civilians in the street. Parents really should prepare their teenage children to allow them drive it may can help to decrease casualty
