School One Hour Later

Starting High School One Hour Later May Reduce Teen Traffic Accidents

Many high school students (mostly seniors) are 16 years old, and are able to drive because they have a driver’s license.  According to www.sciencedaily.com teenagers driving to school, tend to have car accidents because they did not receive complete sleep during the night, and because they needed to wake up very early to go to school. If school started a little bit later, teenagers could sleep at least an hour more and could renew their brain correctly. In my opinion I think that the accidents can be caused by the lack of sleep, but not only that, I think that accidents also occur because they are not that experienced in driving.
