There are those who have the belief that individuals over 17 should be able to
drive
 while others agree that it is better to start driving after 24
years
 old. In
this
 essay, I am going to examine
this
 question from both points of view and
then

people

this

this
 age. It is
also
 possible to say that being able to

 point is that in most countries individuals can respond by their own attitudes only after 20
