Although I do not have my drivers license, I drive very frequently and have become very comfortable driving all around metro Atlanta. Driving has come pretty easy to me since I have started and I have gained much experience while driving. For example, I hadn't had my permit that long and one afternoon I had to drive me and my dad back home from a golf course which is about 40 minutes from our house because he had forgotten his license. I had to drive in a long way in a vehicle I was not acclimated with, which was quite the job. We both made it home safe and it turned out to be not as difficult a task for me. Even though driving can be enjoyable it can also be frightening at times. Even though I haven't obtained my license, I am very close and eager to go places when I do!

Driving
Some teenagers are eager to get on the road and drive on their own as soon as possible, but I was not one of them. I got my learner's permit about eighteen months ago but I was in no hurry to get my driver's license right after. When I got my permit, I didn't have to go places, run errands, or go to work so I did not pursue a driver's license. As I have grown older I will need to drive soon to do things that adults do, so I have started to take an online drivers education program to get my license. I have learned a lot during my online course including how to avoid accidents and creating a space management system, which helps you become a better defensive driver.

WOW! I am the exact opposite! I HAD to have my license when I was 16. I could not wait. I absolutely LOVE driving. My favorite car I had was my GTO. It was a manual. That car was fast and so much fun to drive. In Atlanta, you have to drive to get places and come drivers get a little crazy and do the dumbest things. For instance, someone that is in the turn lane to go right that cuts across 3 lanes of traffic to make a left at the last minute. I firmly believe that there should be a standard test everyone takes and it is the same everywhere. I really do not understand how some people were able to get their licenses.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was growing up kids where very eager to get a drivers license, even though a vehicle was not really needed in NY. So I got my license as soon as I turned 16 years old. But preparing your self before getting it is a great decision many people should take before driving.
