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.

If someone's friend steals something, does the innocent friend go to jail? No. If someone's classmate gets into a fatal accident, does the unharmed classmate get their license suspended? Of course not. The minimum driving age should stay at 16-years-old because if it is raised, it will only prolong the experience and it will cause an inconvenience for parents. Raising the legal driving age will only prolong the experience for teens. Statistics show that a third of all 16-year-old divers and a…
As he is trying to find his place in the world, the employees of the DMV selflessly deny Hans that privilege. For Hans, obtaining a driver 's license is a gateway for him to create his American Dream. As Hans searches for his particular American Dream, he self-consciously detaches himself from his family and his wife, Rachel, scolds him stating, "You 've abandoned me, Hans '... I don 't know why…
If someone-while driving a car-makes bad decisions, is the driver's license to blame? No. If a teen has a fatal accident, does another teen that was not involved have their license suspended? Of course not, but those who think the driving age should be raised, are convinced that a person's age is relevant to this. Those who think this are basing their opinion on teens who have made bad decisions while behind the wheel of a car. They are labeling all teens before any teen drives or has an…
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…

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…
From what I remember, getting my license was one of the most intriguing moments in my life. It amazed me how a piece of plastic would change my life drastically. It now meant that I was a member of society, where I was to abide rules and follow them respectively. Having a driver’s license, in my eyes, meant that I would need to drive perfectly in order to keep safe. I confessed to myself that if I wasn’t the perfect driver, I would stroll on the road to failure. Without a doubt, having skills of…
