    The day started with me rushing to go buy things. To get to the places I needed to go faster, I decided to take the freeway. At the time, I was driving my grandma with my grandma in the passenger’s seat. During that time, I had no experience of driving on the freeway and didn't have my permit or any drivers education experience. In my mind, I thought driving was only about following the road signs. I had no idea what my blind spots where, how to adjust my mirror or how to merge properly. Before…

    I've always heard that drivers should practice "defensive driving." It makes sense, we all know how big a car is and how fast it can go, you can find all of those numbers somewhere on the car itself. We all know someone who has been in an accident, be it minor or major. When cars collide, it can be catastrophic and everyone knows it well. But somehow, at least for me, the idea of it actually all being real didn't happen until I had gotten into an accident where I was forced to deal with the…

    Would you want your son or daughter involved in a car crash with a drunk 18 year old. Well, I stand up that teenagers should be able to drive at the age of 16. My reasons to this are that 16 year olds have restrictions that exclude as many distractions as possible and keep them safe on the road, parents want their children to be able to drive themselves, and it also gives teens the time to learn and experience the ways of driving. Restrictions keep our young teens from becoming to distracted…

    The Drinking Age of Eighteen In the prohibition era, the MLDA, minimum legal drinking age, was set to twenty-one voluntarily in forty states.

Many of the members of the society have contemplated on the issue of reducing the current drinking age of twenty-one to eighteen. This idea has been a controversial idea for years. The participants of this society have…

    should the driving age be changed to 18 instead of 16? Countless people believe that yes, those teenagers are not capable of taking on that responsibility. Most, however, have the right idea. 16-year-olds should drive as parents should not need to chauffeur their kids around, and it'll only cause the problem to be given to the 18-year-olds. Graduated licensing is a much better option to supply youth with superior driving skills before being set on their own. For starters, changing the driving…
