Becoming A Licensed Driver

For my sixteenth birthday my parents rewarded me with a car, but I couldn’t drive it for a very long time because I still had my Learner’s Permit. My parents soon agreed that if I get my Driver’s License, I would be allowed to drive my car to school and wherever I wanted to go, as long as I had their permission. In the beginning of summer 2014, I finally gained the confidence, and was positive that I was ready to get my Driver’s License. I was so excited, yet nervous at the same time. I took the test, and passed it on my first try. My parents

Drivers can now be cited if they are found to be using electronic devices that result in the driver diverting their eyes off the road or becoming distracted to an extent that they put other people 's safety at risk. Talking on the phone may not fulfill this criterion but texting or using a mapping app could certainly qualify. When one is texting, one is actually doing all three activities that are considered distracted driving - their eyes are off the road, they are paying attention to something else and their hands are off the steering wheel. This is an open violation of the law and demonstrates a complete disregard for the safety of others on the road. It has also been observed that drivers who have a tendency to text while driving are also more prone to commit other offenses such as weaving through lanes.

I’m going to talk about how and when I got my license. All the events leading to how I managed to finally get them. It took me a little minute to actually get the guts to do all of the requirements to do so. Everyone in my family was anxious for me to get them so I can do everything for them. That didn’t make me excited like I thought but eventually it would give me permission to have free time because I can drive myself where I need to go instead of getting dropped off that is not cool anymore.

I got in the driver seat made sure to check my mirrors and waited for her to tell me to back up. Once, I backed up I felt my heart speed up and I tried to concentrate on nothing but driving. She took me down one of the roads to do a three-point turn at first, I did the three-point turn wrong. Although I did it wrong she allowed me to retry the three-point turn, I done it right the second time. Nevertheless, I still thought I messed up the other parts of the test, therefore, when we got back to the DMV I held my head down thinking I did not pass the test. The woman told me that I needed to work on my backing, which made me think she was not going to pass me since I backed up terrible; nonetheless, she told me had I passed the test. Relief flooded over my body, I smiled the whole time when she explained the rules. The second step of receiving freedom was finally receiving my

To become a Driving Instructor it is required that a person has “work experience in the subject” (Bureau). A Driving Instructor teaches people how to drive a car safely and not get into an accident. Becoming a driving instructor requires a lot of knowledge about the career, about the selected college, information on some places of employment, training, and experience about the career.

For years growing up, I always counted on getting my driver’s license the day I turned sixteen. I never really put much thought into the awareness and heed that is required while behind the wheel. I was an immature girl, not thinking about what consequences my actions could hold. My adolescent views of the world were about to land me in a world of hurt.

Going to driver’s ed was something I was really nervous about, I really wasn’t excited to go to a traditional high school even if it was for a couple of hours each day. I didn’t make any friends in this group, and it was just really stressful going to these classes everyday, but it was definitely worth it in the end. Driver’s ed classes just went over things you needed to know, along with taking multiple tests. Even though the tests were easy I had a lot of anxiety about all of them, since I am more visual when it comes to driving. I passed the class and was very thankful to get that over with.

Just as the van was about to ram us from behind again, I pulled on the handbrake and spun the car around in a full hundred eighty degrees and quickly shifted to neutral as both our front bumpers made contact. I immediately kicked out the cracked-up windshield and started rapidly pulling the trigger on my Colt.

An accomplishment or event that has happened that has really marked my transition from childhood to adulthood would definitely have to be when I got my driver's licence. Getting your licence really give you the freedom of being able to have to not rely on other people to be somewhere at a certain time or place but to just rely on yourself. Having a car especially if you bought it and are paying for insurance and gas money.By far teaches you a lot of responsibility on how if you want something in this case a car and freedom you need to be responsible about it. Having a car is not cheap nor ethical if you don't have a job so by me just as a beginner driver I was obligated to get a job and keep up with the monthly fees to keep up with the beast

We both climbed into the car, and I positioned the keys in the ignition. When I heard the hum of the car, my heart start beating rapidly with excitement. I checked my mirrors, adjusted my seat, and moved the gear shift to reverse. I began to back out of the driveway, not accustomed with the sensitivity of the gas pedal. Since this was my first time driving, we just started off driving in the

On my birthday, I was eager to acquire my license and drive like a free man. I can remember standing at the DMV in a warm room full of body’s. The time it took myself to accept my license was a rough hour. I stepped in the car and drove around the block, and passed my parallel parking. I was excited to obtain my license on my first attempt, and get to drive without an adult. I was able to pick up friends, drive myself to food stops, and to work. Having a license is pleasurable until you realize the flashing blue, and red lights are behind your car.

On November 4th of my junior year, I was suspended for 5 days due to possession of marijuana at Whitney Young. This instantly came to me as an extreme wake up call. Following the incident my parents made me stay in unless I was leaving the house to do something productive. So I applied to be a food handler at the Chicago Food Depository where I volunteered during the suspension. Eventually, after a few weeks, I free to leave on the weekends, but I did not see any reason to go out. Instead, I stayed in and focused on studying to bring up my grades.

In my life, I have accomplished many things, but receiving my driver’s license is what transitioned me from my childhood to adulthood. Getting my license gave me a sense of freedom because I didn’t have to depend on my parent’s or older sister to drive me around. I waited a few months after I was eligible to receive my license to finally acquire it. It took me a while to realize that I was just making excuses not to have it. In reality, I was afraid of the responsibility driving requires, having a license meant that I was in control of my life, and I didn’t know what to do with my new freedom.

     If you had told me when I turned sixteen that I couldn’t get my license until I turned eighteen, I would have thrown a fit. Now that I am older, I realize that I had no business driving an automobile at 16 years old. I was the typical teenage driver. The cool one, who had the “Detroit

     In responding , one can say that teenagers always complain about the ¡§grown up¡¨ world and its rules. Teens find it rather hard to be part of the grown up worl until they have the licence to go out on their own. Basically, the whole concept of graduated licencing is not so complicated. There are only a few changes: 1) There must be a fully licensed driver beside you with at least four years of driving experience in the G1 level. 2) There is a year waiting period between the G1 level and G2 level. 3) New drivers may only drive in cities, not on highways, and only during daytime hours. Even though there is a 1 month waiting period between G1 level and G2 level, it can be shortened to 8 months by taking a driver¡¦s insurance training course. During this course, the driver will learn more about techniques on driving, and it will cost less when getting car insurance later on.
