OCAA #3 Interview Guide

Student Name: Sonia Jangla Interview Date: 11/11/2024


Interviewee: Ava Relationship to the interviewee: Classmate

I. Interview Topic:
The U.S. should raise the driving age to 18.
II. Discussion of the topic.
Introduction of the topic to the interviewee. Check the interviewee’s
understanding of the topic. Discuss stances and thoughts on the topic.
Question 1: What do you think are the key reasons why 16 is the right age to allow
teenagers to drive, and how do you think it benefits society as a whole?
Question 2: Research has shown that the teenage brain is still developing, particularly
in areas related to impulse control and decision-making. How do you think this affects
their ability to make safe decisions on the road?
Question 3: There are studies showing that young drivers, particularly those aged
16-18, have higher accident rates due to inexperience. How do you address concerns
about safety in your argument for keeping the driving age at 16?
Question 4: In countries where the driving age is higher, like Norway or Sweden,
there is evidence that raising the age results in fewer traffic-related fatalities. How do
you respond the argument that raising the driving age could reduce these risks?
Question 5: Do you think there are differences in driving capabilities of a 16 year old
vs an 18 year old? If so, how do you think these differences impact road safety?
Question 6: Do you think the current drivers education programs prepare young
drivers? If not, what are other driving or licensing requirements you would support
for new drivers that are 16?
Question 7:
Question 8:

III.Core values.
Identify core values that underlie the stance towards the issue.
Question 1: What do you believe is the most important factor when deciding the right
age for someone to start driving—personal responsibility, safety, independence, or
something else?
Question 2: Do you think the freedom to drive should be seen as a right for young
people, or should it be more conditional upon factors like maturity, experience, and
readiness?

IV. Origin of the core values.


Explore the origin of the core values.
Question 1: Can you recall any personal experiences from when you were 16 or
younger that shaped your belief about when people should be allowed to drive?
Question 2: When you think about the concept of "teenage freedom," what influences
your thinking? Is it tied to your own experiences, or does it come from other sources
like books, films, or societal expectations?

V. Summary of the interview.


Briefly summarize what you learned from the conversation and thank your
interviewee.
