. It might be a good idea to increase the minimum age required for driving because of some reasons. Use synonyms
Firstly
, since younger Linking Words

are usually less mature and less responsible with their manners, they might not be aware of the importance of following the rules. Use synonyms
Therefore

are more likely to occur. Use synonyms
