Learning to drive a car with a manual transmission is much more difficult than learning to drive a vehicle with an automatic transmission. There are several steps to learning how to drive. You will need to pay close attention to the steps below to be able to become a safe and defensive driver.…
How I Learned to Drive was written by Paula Vogel. It is written in an autobiographical style, although it is never truly clear whether or not it is autobiographical in actuality. The story is about a woman (Lil’ Bit) in her 30’s looking back on her experience of being molested by an uncle (Uncle Peck) from the age of 11 through 18. The brilliance in Vogel’s writing is that despite the subject matter, Uncle Peck doesn’t come across as a “monster-like” figure. Instead he seems like a regular person—flawed but somewhat likeable.…
Palms sweating, heart racing, knees wobbling, mind spinning, and you’re frantically trying to take control. It’s your first set of wheels and they are just begging to be taken for a spin around the block. There’s just one itty bitty little problem: it’s your first time. It doesn’t seem to matter if it’s the first time you ride a bike or the first time you get behind the wheel of a car, the sensations can be enough to drive you wild. Even though the rush of adrenaline and the sense of power may have felt identical, learning how to ride a bike and learning how to drive a car may have differed in more ways than most of us remember.…
Once again Dad and I were stuck in a traffic jam. The trip from our house to the library usually takes five minutes, but this time we found ourselves sitting in the midst of a river of cars that crawled ahead a few feet at a time. Up ahead, we saw that three lanes were merging into one. Two cars had collided in a fender-bender, and not only that, but they had done so in a work zone where one lane was already closed. As I watched pedestrians on the sidewalk leave us behind, I complained, “I could almost have walked to the library faster than this. I certainly could have biked there much faster.” That was when it occurred to me: If more people rode bicycles instead of driving cars, they would save money, be healthier, and contribute to cleaner air.…
Driving is simple. In the event that we know how to drive, we may never have any mishaps on street. Is it true that this isn't right? No, this isn't right.…

Besides the positive change the use of a bicycle can have on a human body and even mind as they relax on their way, they help reduce pollution, as they do not create any carbon emissions.…
When driving a car you have to know the basic functions such as knowing how to turn on the car, where the signals are and how to use them, which pedals is the brake and which one is the gas (this is especially important when driving because you do not want to crash by confusing the two). When learning to drive you can’t just jump in the car and drive where ever, because there is a process. First you have to get your learners permit and then you can practice driving with a licensed adult. Then after a small waiting period you can go and take what is called the road test. After a brief drive with an instructor, that tests your ability to drive, you pass and have your license. Finally, you are able to…
Young children always hit that age where all they want to do is learn how to ride a bike; well for the most part young children. They pray for a new bicycle for Christmas and the day hits them like homework on a school night, that they most likely forgot about. Many have the audacity to try to learn without training wheels, but usually fail. Over time they start to realize there are bigger and better things in life such as learning how to drive a car. They constantly beg their parents to let them practice driving or to get their hands on a pair of new car keys. Both learning how to drive a car and learning how to ride a bicycle surprisingly have many differences as well as similarities.…
There are many substitutions that you can have for buying a car. You could prefer to buy a bicycle. You will save a lot of money, but you probably won’t be able to do as much. Meaning, you won’t be able to go as many places. Things like family vacations can’t be taken on a bike amongst other things. It might be easy for small commutes like maybe to work or for exercising, but in the long…
How many of us are nearly reaching driving age ? Be honest, do you daydream about being the wheel of a sports car? Nowadays, many drive at an early age. While some consider it auspicious, others postulate it disadvantageous.…
Through the research I conducted I realized that Kant did in fact have some very surprising views on punishment as well as what is acceptable and unacceptable. The ideas he had based upon capital punishment and the rehabilitation of criminals are vastly different than the other. Kantianism is based off of deontology which sees that, “the nature of ethical rules is to bind you to your duty, and that binding is not dependent on consequences” (Waller, Bruce N).…
Driving in Canada is not fashion but necessary. This is because of structural growth of the place. People live in the heart of the city and travel to the outskirts for other important things like, office, market, etc. Easy transportation is not available and therefore people often buy new or used cars and drive them daily. Therefore, driving becomes a necessary thing for the people of Guelph.…
The author further argues that introducing compulsory stringent licensing regulations, which include practical and safe driving skills, the rise in the age of drivers to twenty, limiting speed and minimizing the number of people per motorbike, can be other effective ways to reduce traffic accidents. While his suggestion seems very convincing, he marginalizes people who have just got the age of consent, which is eighteen in Vietnam. They are considered mature enough to be responsible for their decisions, so they ought to have the right to ride motorbikes. Also, in addition to limiting the number of people per motorbike, to adapt…
