Driver's license

in order to prepare myself to obtain a permit. Shortly after I was behind the wheel practicing daily with my father. The day came where I would take my behind the wheel test. The few months of training paid off as I walked out of the DMV with my license. Although I was legally allowed to drive, I still had no car. This held me back from driving for over a year until I could save up enough. Finding a job without work experience was tough. Luckily for me my parent’s manager of a flower warehouse…

Drunk driving is a serious issue in today's society, even with the age being 21. So, the age should not be lowered. The National Traffic Highway Administration (NHTSA) states “the 21 minimum drinking age law has saved about 900 lives per year”. If this was to be changed to a lower drinking age, the crash related alcohol rates would increase. Alcohol-related traffic deaths in the United States was 12,998 in 2007, and increasing dramatically as time goes on. This statistic is three times as many…

Brain development plays a huge role when it comes to talking about the rate of car accidents. In teenagers your brain is not fully developed and compared to adults, there are different thought processes. Sandra Aamodt, neuroscientist, explain that the brain is not fully developed until approximately age 25 and age 18 is about the halfway point. Currently we start driving before the brain is even halfway developed. This is highly unsafe and it show in the statistics. By increasing the driving age…

As a new teenage driver in 2017 there are a lot of things you need to be careful and aware of when you are new to driving!

In this paper I will be informing you all about the…

When someone becomes old enough to driving, life gets complicated in every possible way. In the book “Behind the Wheel Poems About Driving” by Janet S. Wong, she uses driving to teach teens and young people about all sorts of things concerning young people by sharing poems about cars and driving. Janet S. Wong uses her poems to comment and reflect on driving to teach young drivers lessons on driving, life, and to help teens understand why parents may not want them to drive. Wong uses her poems…

Similar to drinking the driving age being made higher will negatively affect the social lives of many teenagers and young adults. Without a license it is harder for teen to go out as much as they would like to because they have to rely on their parents or others that are older than them to drive them to where they want to go. Also like drinking raising the driving age would make sense from the…

down until the test. As each period went by I was getting closer to my driving test. My nervousness only grew with each ring of the bell. During lunch, I told my friends “I have my driving test today, finally I’m getting my license.” “That’s cool, I wish I could get my license,” said Adrian. Six periods finally rolled…

home was quiet, too quiet. I can already hear it now when I got home my mother was going to whine about my bad driving. As I thought not even getting out of the car my siblings start saying," you suck as a driver Marlen." I was never going to get my license I thought and felt like I was never going to get better. From the looks of it too no one wanted to teach me how to drive after that. I needed lots of practice and my driving test was only a few months away. The next day was a fresh day and a…

The study could not find any spillover effects due to the increase in speed but the creativity to try hypothesis tests deserve special mention. “Speed spillover” effect is present when the speed limit is different in different roads. The spillover effect is evident when the drivers may continue to drive fast in roads where the speed limit is not increased Steven M. Rock [18] studied the effect of 65 mph speed in Illinois and also support the general notion that increase in speed limit to 65 mph…

The penalties for drunk driving have increased because of the impact it causes on families who lose their children, fathers, mothers, or other family members to death and/or disability. So when individual take the risk of drinking and driving, they are taking the risk on the lives that are out there and of their own. People who…
