After reading the article on yound drivers safety, I now understand why driving laws are put in place. These laws can be "harsh" but are created for a reason! Connecticuts young drivers laws are now proven to be effective! The article says, "The number of crashes in which 16- or 17-year old drivers were identified as a contributing factor was down 28 percent in 2009." 28 percent is quite a difference! These laws indicate that a driver that hasn't had their license for at least six months cannot drive another individual in the car. I can see that these laws have prevented accidents and maybe even deaths! Although they may be "inconvenient," they are there for a one and only one reason; to prevent injury and accidents. Childrens may rebel against these laws, but the article says "Parents, obviously, are the first line of defense in making the restrictions effective -- and in protecting their children's well-being." This means that the parents have to be responsible enough to enforce these laws. I think these laws are effective, meaningful, and strict.
