Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

Teenagers should be allowed to drive from 18 years of age. This is because driving is an act of extreme responsibility, where the driver must be agile and must know how to make correct decisions in a serious and rational way. It is very difficult for young people under the age of 18 to have this degree of maturity, and it is favorable for them to avoid driving during this period. However, driving permits for 18-year-olds must have restrictions, such as having a high cognitive and psychological quality, not presenting criminal passages and strictly following traffic laws.
