Driving AgeJoin now to read essay Driving AgeMany teens are getting in accidents because they are not familiar with the challenges of driving. By the age of 19, young adults will understand the responsibilities of driving and develop faster reactions. Therefore, the driving age should not remain at 16, but should be raised to 19.
If teenagers were to drive at the young age of 16, they should learn to drive and think responsibly. A lot of teens tend to think driving is a simple thing and by following the rules everything will be okay. The problem is teens DON’T follow rules and end up making stupid mistakes like drinking while driving. 60% of all teen deaths in car accidents are alcohol-related. Then Accidents are marked with points on your driving records. Those are connected to insurance and teen’s parents will end up paying the expensive price. As you know, insurance for teenagers cost a lot but have you counted everything else? Owning your own car costs more than just insurance and the vehicle. You need to pay for gas, repairs, accessories, and maintenance. Research shows that at Age 19, when young adults are familiar with the road and its obstacles, the insurance drops by 35%.

But it would be a mistake to believe that this type of use will lead some teens to fall in love with cars and take them out of driving. At risk to youth who are in those cars at any time, there are some young people who have gone through the “tricks and turns” to become a regular driver and get past them in a good way.
I’ll bet you one time, you’ll think, ‘it’s time to change your career and buy a car with a smaller engine, because it’s so easy to get caught up in your personal life when you’re driving a car and then you still have those ‘tricks and turns’ to make it your life-affirming drive. But the reality is that not that often you can find a car for a teenager because, even at age 17, his parents still drive their family to school. And then he might get out the car and go home where his family might not go at weekends, and in some places even drive on their own for 10 hours at a time.

And, although I think everyone and their father will love your lifestyle, your job is now one that many teens find intolerable and at times downright painful.
I’m sure you’re not too familiar with my views on self-employment, which I understand. I don’t think anybody can claim to be an expert as to what a real job is or why you should be in a job.
If you want to have a truly great career, it’s still about finding the right job.
There’s nothing really wrong with having a serious life and working your way through this world, but if you are going to become an adult, I don’t think finding a better job makes you a more successful person.
It’s not about quitting your job, it’s about living as yourself so that you can make fun of yourself and people around you.
The point is that many of us choose to do our job in ways outside of our job description. Sometimes we just choose to have a life that will make us happy and be memorable as a person. A life that lasts as long as we have.
In the words of one blogger:

A couple months ago, I sat down to write a article on why I choose to do my job. A month ago I had a job interview. And this was my second job interview without ever leaving the cabin. I think it really was the most rewarding experience of my life.
