Persuasive Essay: Why I Drive My Car

Decent Essays
In order to persuade or convince my parents to let me drive my car, I will use ethos to form my argument. I have never been in an accident, was a fast learner when learning how to drive, and I know the the difference between what I should and should not do. Driving is a privilege that I have earned because of my good grades and respect I give to my parents everyday. It would also be less of a burden for my parents to be taking me to my practices, games, and other events. The hassle of them getting groceries would be at a halt if I drove and did the tasks that would waste their gas, time and money. Also, if there is any statistics that are in my favor, I will use that information to help construct my argument.

    Digging a little further, when the rest of us are driving and seeing cards with these drunk driver license plates, we’d be more cautious around them. Call it properly targeted defensive driving. Also, law enforcement would keep a closer eye on them, especially during the hours when it’s more likely people are out partying and driving home from bars. They’d be able to focus more effectively on people who need to be monitored, doing spot checks of those cars that are on the road at 2 a.m. and being more likely to look for any erratic driving at other…

The Union further understands that this is only a temporary issue until the new Police Station is finished and those vehicles will then park in the new garage and more spaces will be available not only to employees but the public as well and that will open up more spaces in the city hall lot.…
