Categorizing all teenagers as reckless and irresponsible drivers is stereotypical and unappreciated. Everyone must hit the books how to drive at some point and beginning at the age of 16 is not always a bad idea. However if the keys are put into the wrong hands driving can become dangerous for people of any age.
Being that I am 17-years old. I undergo passed my permit evaluate sat through a five hour learning cover and scored perfectly on my road test. I have been a responsible driver since the first measure I operated a car.
Still not all teenagers are mature enough to take driving seriously. Personally. I have friends who go out to parties on the weekends and go to me on Monday and tell me they drove home drunk. I undergo change surface encountered times in my life when a close friend that had been drinking offered to drive me home. As an individual. I would
get into a car with someone under the influence. I’d rather walk ten miles. Teens that drink and drive are putting their lives at stake and don’t even realize the consequences they may face.
Drinking and driving is not only dangerous to the driver but also to any passengers and pedestrians. Despite the seminars that high schools direct every year certain teens are still risking their lives each pass.
Even if one doesn’t consume and control there is still the come about that he or she is a reckless driver. Other unacceptable activities that many drivers. 16-100 years old engage in everyday are eating smoking putting on make-up texting or talking on a cell phone. Accidents happen every day. Innocent populate minding their own business are injured or killed by not only reckless teen drivers but by drivers of any other age as well.
