My Driver's Test

Improved Essays
I arrived at the Department of Motor Vehicles on my seventeenth birthday, because I believed I was ready for my license. I tried everything I could with my permit, I practiced over the one hundred and eighty hours required. I even read the whole drivers manual front to back! I thought that I was ready for the driver's test but the words that the license test instructor spoke to me showed me otherwise. I woke up on my birthday ready and excited for my driver's test; however shortly after I began driving, the instructor asked me to turn around, because I needed more practice.

When I turned fifteen, I got my permit. I went to the Department of Motor Vehicles right after school one random day because I was tired of my father driving me everywhere I went. I made the initiative because I was determined to get my license. A month before I turned fifteen, I bought the drivers manual and began to study it front and back. I made sure I practiced over one hundred and eighty hours and I even made Flashcards. So, when I turned fifteen, I went to the Department of Motor Vehicles and aced my permit test, and I was ecstatic as I could be.

The first time I got behind the wheel, I was with my bother who was teaching me. I began turning right too early and was 3 inches from the ditch. Another time, I was turning a curb and was about a foot from hitting a beautifully painted, shiny white mailbox. That also had red clay bricks around it, that would have hurt my car majorly. My brother, who had nerves of steel decided it was then time for him to drive until we got somewhere safer, so then I could

    The thought of getting behind the wheel seemed like far too much responsibility. While waiting for my mom to drive me anywhere was a somewhat aggravating loss of freedom, I felt I needed more time before I went back to piloting heavy machinery. I felt obligated to act almost as I had when I was first getting my license- I even spent awhile only driving with one of my parents in the passenger seat. At first, I was screaming internally from the moment I put the key in the ignition to the moment I parked it at my destination. Changing lanes made me very anxious, I saw all cars as threats (actually I still do), and unprotected left hand turns came close to actually frightening me.…

    Essay On Driving Age

    Most teenage drivers are involved in car crashes every year, and more are killed than in any other age group. Even to this day, 6,000 teens die in accidents annually—more than fifteen a day (Triplett 1). These alarming statistics prove that receiving a driver’s license at the age of sixteen is merely too young. Teenagers are incompetent about being on the road, which increases the chances of putting others at risk because they have not developed a strong level of maturity and experience. The driving age among teens should be increased because facts prove that teenagers cannot handle the physiological and physical challenges that approach them on the road.…

    My Personal Narrative Driving away from gangsters is not an easy task. Especially if it’s heavily raining, 3 in the morning and your car is filled of drunk underage boys. It was the first time my parents allowed me to drive on my own after the allowed time for an underage driver. I had permission to drive to the party under the condition that I was to get home early and not joke around in the car. I was supposed to drive to the party and go home immediately, and for some stupid reason I decided to do the complete opposite.…
