Article 1- Is 16 Too Young To Drive?

The main idea for the article, Is 16 Too Young To Drive, Is to persuade the reader that the driving age should be lowered to 14 or 15 so the teens can have more experience before the big driving test. The viewpoint of the author, Eric Peters (automotive columnist), is to lower the age, and that Adrian Lund is a “Professional nag who heads an organization of nags…” This is supported by how he says how “…logic says start them sooner, not later…” and how he says that experience and training mean more than age and if they start us earlier then we will have more experience. The tone of this article is like how my dad rants when he reads something stupid online, like how Peter said that Lund is a nag. His conclusion is that the ISS doesn’t want solutions, nor does the IIHS.

The evidence provided is very biased and he doesn’t state any clear facts, mostly opinion. He could have included some good things about changing the driving age to 18 or higher, but he doesn’t and just shows more bias and slant.
