their real driver license for the first time is exciting! As a teen you certainly spend most of the time driving with your friends hanging out, and doing anything that comes to your mind. But honestly what are teens doing before they get their official license and progress forward in life. Are they getting around without any accidents happening(or sadly even deaths)! Are most teens safely driving before they get their driver’s license and are they prepared for what’s on the roads? Of course teens
“A driver's licence is a key to independence and freedom. It allows you to get to work, study, sport, shopping, and go out with ease, yet it also puts you in the face of real danger on our roads.” (www.tacvc.gov.au) Driving is a privilege, but not a requirement. No one should abuse this right. There are many rules to follow on the road. There are several different kinds of licences to get, many ways to lose a licence, and many ways to be safe on the road “Anyone who operates a motor vehicle, motorcycle
Getting a restricted licence was a huge stepping stone towards my journey to independency. Getting a restricted driver’s licence for me means more responsibilities await me. Being independently driving without my dad on the passenger seat to assist me, I felt proud of myself because I am now very close to living my life without relying on my parents. When I was younger, independence never really occurred to me as the only responsibilities I know of were making my bed every morning and washing the
careless drivers as evidence suggests that careless driving remains a major road safety concern for the general public and is associated with many road deaths and injuries. Careless driving as defined by police authorities and legal bodies as driving without due care and attention and usually without reasonable consideration for other road users. List of careless or unsafe driving actions can go on and on and some of them are aggressive driving, speeding, illegal lane changes, excessive honking,
Should the Driving Age Be Raised to 18? I take the position that the driving age should not be raised to 18. Many people believe that 16 year olds are too young to drive. However, many 16 to 17 year olds and their families disagree. Teens enjoy their freedom, and not all teens are stereotypically “wild” or “out of hand” on the road. I believe this because first of all, if the driving age were to be raised, it would limits teens’ options for the future and or present. Next, it gives teens more independence
Driving Almost all teenagers have their licence by the end of highschool. Some get it as soon as it is possible other’s wait till they need it. Likewise others still don’t have it, like me. I would love my licence don’t get me wrong, I really would. Its just hard because I hate driving. No, hate is not the right word, I loathe driving. The thought of being behind the wheel of a car terrifies me to the core. On one occasion, I was driving with my mother practicing to drive. When the time came to
to texting and driving 101. As you know most of us sitting here today have already gotten our learners and are currently working on our licences but are still driving. I'm sure you've realised driving on the open road is not child's play. It requires full attention from both the driver and he or she's passengers. Texting and driving. One of the most dangerous distractions we can find on the road, always. But before we get to the deeper parts, what is meant by texting and driving? Anyone? Well
As we walked in, the DMV receptionist greeted my mother and I, “How are you this afternoon? What can I help you with?” “I would like to take the licence test today,” I said. “I will have someone come out to set you up in a minute, please have a seat,” replied the receptionist. I sat nervously in the black chair, constantly shifting my weight back and forth. I stared blankly out the window, wanting the test to be finished, hoping it would go well. The moment came and I went out to the car with an
Before You Can Drive On your first driving lesson you will have to produce both parts of your provisional licence, the photo card and the paper counterpart. Your instructor will ask you to read a car number plate at a distance of 20 metres which is the same as you have to read on your driving test. Your instructor will usually drive you to a quiet road where it will be safe to begin the lesson. Controls Lesson You will sit in the driver's seat and the instructor will explain the 'cockpit drill'
are rules that each citizen has come into an agreement to obey once they have obtained their licence. Driving is an ability that citizens tend to misuse nowadays, especially at the teen or young adult ages of 16 to 21. Driving is not seen as an obligation, but a privilege that many do not recognize. Driving could be deadly if not taken solely seriously. This is why to make this possible, the legal driving age should be raised over the age of 21; as citizens begin to mature mentally. It would cut the
blasting by then bam. A kid gets hit by a person texting and driving. Luckily the kid is not killed but severely injured. People should not text and drive. Teenagers are always on their phones so they are probably going to be on them in the car, if you get a citation for texting and driving your insurance will skyrocket, and when you text and drive you are not only putting yourself in danger but you are putting others i dander to.

Over 1,600,000 people get killed a year because of texting and driving. Risking your life and other people's life because of a text message that could wait until you get to a stopping point. I believe police officers should have the ability to confiscate the cars of people who text and drive. While both sides, police officers and drivers believe different about the right of confiscating the cars from the ones who text and drive. Only for the safety of others, family concerns, individual concerns
I agree that the minimum driving age should be raised from sixteen to eighteen. The minimum driving age is the minimum age at which a person may acquire a driver’s licence to drive a vehicle on public roads. Sixteen year olds are not fully developed enough to manage the skills for driving. Teenagers are lazy, incompetent, irrational, and should not be on the roads driving.The minimum driving age should be raised from sixteen to eighteen because teenagers are irresponsible, inexperienced, and are
auto insurance policies. Fristly, they don't always cover costs of damage to the car you're driving, only the liability incurred from a car you collide with. These policies also don't cover company cars or other work related vehicles - only completely non owned cars. What else can affect your car insurance cost? There are a wide range of factors that influence car insurance costs in general. Your driving history will play a big role in determining how cheap your policy will be. If you've made a
this a greater push for safer cars has been made. But are autonomous cars the right way to go? They are unsafe, unpredictable, and will eliminate jobs. Driver-less cars are unpredictable. Split second decision making while driving is difficult for humans, but for self-driving cars, they don 't have the capacity to weigh the value of life or the risks of certain decisions. Also bad weather can be a problem. The driver less cars use cameras and laser sensors to stay within the lanes, heavy rain and
Teen Driving In America today it it almost vital to learn how to operate a vehicle. If you want to get around without having to rely on public transportation then the only thing you have to do is study the laws of driving, learn how to drive, and pass a test you are required to take to legally drive. Driving is a huge deal in society. When you are given your licence as a a teenage or even young adult it is very exciting. It is a moment in life when you are truly tested to see if you are constrained
use of phones while driving are shocking. For example, “at any given time throughout the day, approximately 660,000 drivers are attempting to use their phones while behind the wheel of an automobile.”(Chase). Texting while driving causes a 400 percent increase in the time a driver spends with his/her eyes of the road. A driver who takes his or her eyes off the road for five seconds to look at their phone will travel the length of a football field, blind. While texting and driving, a driver is 20 times
Driving safe is trusting yourself and others on the road to follow all the laws and regulations of the road. A trust that you will drive without distraction or under influence of any substances. Safe drivers avoid all distractions that would prevent them from reaching their destination safe, also without hurting themself or someone else. Driving is privilege, a privilege to get from one place to another in a timely manner. Although some do not realize the danger of driving. Every time you drive you
cause of deaths in teenagers until something is changed. According to an article published by CBS, “More than 5,000 U.S. teens die each year in car crashes” (CBS/AP). The U.S. needs to change something to lower this number. Raising the legal minimum driving age to 18 would help lower the number of accidents involving teens by cutting the amount of teenage drivers on the road in half. Obviously it would be objected by teens who want to drive as soon as they can, but in the long run it could save their
