Driving is a tremendous responsibility. I believe our state should have rigorous
driving
tests to make the
roads safe for others. However I think
most teenagers aren't ready to accept
these
responsibilities. I think the minimum
driving age for Florida should be eighteen.
This is
because many
student go to parties and get intoxicated as a result. The school also provides a
safe system of
transportation, and some teenagers think they are immortal.
When many teenagers go to parties, they might
be pressured to do things they might not
normally do.
Drinking alcohol is one example of this.
Once you are under the influence of alcohol
your abilities to
drive deteriorate. In this state, you
hurt yourself, or even worse you might injure
someone
else. Many teen deaths result each year
from intoxicated driving.
Driving your own car to school is not a
absolutely necessary. This creates more
risks, and
more
possibilities for a teenager to become involved in an accident. The county provides a
entirely safe
bussing program. Students can be picked
up in the morning, then returned home in
the
afternoon. I think more student should
take advantage of this.
When you are a teenager, it is said you feel
immortal. This may hold true in some
instances. Students might approach a stoplight, and
decide to race the engine, when next to
another
classmate. Or races might ensue, that
endanger the student and, the other citizens on the
roads.
This is not to say, that im really excited
about receiving my license. I think that
I will be
able to stay
safe, and not endanger others on the road.
Some people just aren't ready though.
So
for the well
being of everyone, I believe the driving age should be pushed back to age
eighteen. At
which the student
are more ready to accept their new found responsibilites.
