Besides school, at work and on the major highways, my parents let me drive at 75 miles further from my work where I can go to the mall where I meet my friends.…
In several states, legislators have been debating on whether or not it should be required for students to keep a “C” grade average before receiving a driver’s license. Some people are skeptic on this decision and believe that it is unfair for a teenage to maintain a “C” average to receive a driver’s license. I personally disagree with this statement and think it would improve the well-being of most teenagers. There are several reasons why having the incentive of being allowed to legally drive is a good thing. Students will become more responsible, they will get a good insurance policy, and it will make teenagers more grateful for the things we often take for granted.…
When teens get a job it is frequently due to wanting to become more independent. This independency will take halt if they necessitate a ride from another. It will be less complicated to get to and from a job if you have your license, besides your parents and friends have busy schedules as well and will not be capable to provide a ride at times. This independency will help them be prepared for there future. Last but not least, myriad college freshman are younger or have just turned 18.…
Teens not being able to drive will be a substantial burden on parents. With the constant flow of after school activities, such as, sports, music, clubs, and work, there needs to be more than two drivers in the household. Parents often are at work when the extra activities are taking place and cannot afford to take time from their job. When teens are able to drive it alleviates this burden by allowing them to drive themselves. High school students can also help their parents out by chauffeuring their siblings. Adults would no longer…
If the driving age stays the same many teenagers could rely less on their parents. Some teens have parents who work constantly so that could limit them from doing after school activities such as practices and other things if they do not have a license. With little siblings teens could help parents shuttle little siblings around - or help with chores such as grocery shopping. Most teens like going places with…
I just turned 16 years old. My parents both decided that it was an appropriate age to go and try to acquire my driver’s license. First, I needed to get my permit. When I did research online, I learned that I would need to take two tests. One would be on sign recognition, and the other on driving rules, regulations, and laws. I was truly nervous, and I knew that I needed to be studying dutifully.…
In my early years of high school, my older friends would drive me to and from school, just the normal everyday activities. Usually we would go grab a bite to eat, drop off some of the other passengers--mine was the third stop. Since I was too young to participate in all the activities on their agendas, I was unable to tag along. I had rules and an over-protective mom who was strict on what time I was to return home (and made sure I completed my homework before allowing me to go out with my friends). As the time passed, and I was a bit older, all my close friends started to get their driver's licenses and living the freedoms that I still yearned. They were able to come and go as they pleased without the hassles of 'bumming a ride'. With their own transportation many were able to have more 'choice' jobs. My time for this accomplishment was nearing.…
Ever since I was so little I have always been so amazed with the whole concept of driving, how the people the drove did it, how big of privileges they had and get. The “super cool” things they got to do and the the places they could go on their own. With or without an adult or kids in the car. I have no idea why I have always been so obsessed with driving. But I so am and the fact I finally get to be like all those totally awesome adults/teenager almost every kid admired that got to drive them around and knew what they were doing as well as knowing what their privileges are, is pretty…
Lastly, teenagers actually dislike the idea that they have to depend for their parents for everything. We don't like asking our parent to chauffeur us everywhere, especially up to the point we graduated from high school. Once we graduated from high school, would the parents still want us to move up to the real world without a license ?! So learning how to drive at a young age is one of the biggest steps to adulthood and the age for driving shouldn't be…
Driving at the age 16 allows more freedom. Therefore, we can drive to a date without having our parents take us. Then worrying if they will be late to pick us up. Also, we will not…
Until the mid-1990s, all it took for most teens to get their license was reaching their 16th birthday, a written exam and a road test. Teens were free to drive anywhere, any time with anyone. Although, times have changed. Now graduated driver 's license laws appear to be saving young lives.…
After numerous attempts of trying to get my permit (either a bad hair day, or lack of information) I finally got it. The glory of holding the paper copy of freedom. Well, freedom when I was driving with my mom. My long blonde hair flowing in the wind, not having a care in the world, or so I thought.…
The most memorable time in my life was my daughter's cleft palate surgery. It was January 4th when my daughter and I had to leave El Paso, TX to take a trip to Austin, TX. It was a long drive for a little baby like her at the time she was only two years old. Early that morning my parents took us to the bus station.The bus was leaving at 6 a.m. in the morning to get to Austin, TX at midnight. My daughter and I felt it was the longest drive ever as the bus was very full and kept stopping. Finally, we arrived to Austin at midnight. I had to walk around for some time until I found a cab to take us to the hotel. I was scared and nervous. I was all alone with my daughter in a city we didn't know. We arrived to the hotel and finally felt safe and some peace. As soon as we walked in the room, I called my family and let them know we were good.…
Six months after I got married, I had the happiest day of my life. This was December 14, 2000, the day I gave birth to my son. When the day began I was afraid, I did not know what to expect, I had never done this before. On that Thursday afternoon at 2:28 p.m., I had my son, and all the fear I had turned into the purest happiness I had ever experienced. After giving birth I knew that nothing would be able to top the feelings of joy and bliss that day brought me. For me becoming a mother is the best feeling I ever had.…
That will cause a lot of controversy with teens, because they have to wait longer to drive. Parents may be happier and worry free but they will have to drive their kids around for 2 extra years. By doing this most drivers on the road will be much more responsible when they drive. No more little kid games and taking be risks. They will be adults they will know what is right and wrong and will not attempt to take unnecessary risks. Now a bad thing is, no kids will be able to drive to school. So there parents will have to drive there kids to every schools function there is throughout their high school life. Also many kids, like myself, will be graduating when they are 17, so how are the supposed to go to collage without a license. Yet the newer generation is less responsible then…
