Teenagers should not be allowed to drive until they are eighteen. And only high school graduates should be given a driver’s license, and only after successfully completing a Drivers Education class during their senior year of high school.
3 Right now, 15 year olds can get a practice permit, and try for their license at 16. This is too young. Eighteen is a better age. At eighteen, people are more mature and better able to make mature decisions. This is obvious. Not all eighteen-year-olds are mature but the majority of them are. At least we are more mature than fifteen-year-olds.
4 A high school diploma should also be a pre-requisite to getting a driver’s license. Graduating from high school demonstrates a high level of responsibility. After all, driving is a privilege. And with driving comes a great degree of responsibility. Someone who isn’t responsible enough to graduate from high school is not responsible enough to drive a car.
5 All future drivers should be required to take (and pass) a Drivers’ Education class. Our high school has a great Drivers’ Ed class. I took the class last semester, earned an A, and learned many helpful things. I learned how to parallel park and how to yield in traffic on the interstate. I also learned about the importance of driving the speed limit. I didn’t realize how much I didn’t know about safety and the rules of the road until I took the class.
6 We only had about 15 students in my class. Half of them didn’t pay attention. One time we had a guest speaker come and give a slideshow presentation. He was a highway patrol officer. He spoke about the dangers of reckless driving and showed us some very graphic pictures about what can go wrong on the road. He was a very good speaker but hardly anyone in the class took the time to listen.
7 I am eighteen now, but when I was fifteen I was not mature enough to drive. No way! None of my classmates were mature enough either. I say let’s make the roads and highways safer by keeping kids from behind the wheel until they turn 18 and become adults.
8 I hope your readers who agree with me will speak up and let their opinion be heard.
