When I first started driving I had trouble with a variety of tasks, but after learning from my mistakes, practicing, and finally becoming a couple steps closer to being a more mature person overall. It is important to take driving seriously and follow all of the laws in order to keep yourself and other safe at all times. After driving for awhile some people start to feel comfortable so I need to be careful that I don’t become to relaxed and always pay the utmost attention. I hope me overcoming some difficulties really inspire others to overcome their problems and fine a way to succeed in what they

Anxiety is a disorder that many people face daily. While some people might know how to deal with their anxiety, many people do not even know that they are being affected by this troublesome disorder. Anxiety is defined as a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome. Anxiety has taken its toll on me throughout my lifetime, and I was completely unaware until I was able to put a word to the feelings I had. Impacting school life, work life, and personal life anxiety is no easy task to face. Anxiety has the ability to turn confidence into fear and has a great mental impact on the person affected. Anxiety, to me, is being in a constant state of fear or worry; no matter the situation.

You need to be aware of your surroundings at all times. Concentrate not only on what is happening in front of you, but also anticipate what may occur further on. You should always assume the worst; therefore constantly think of an escape route. Leave yourself an outlet. Surround your vehicle with space in front and at least on one side to escape any possible conflict. Also, think of possible situations which may arise. Such as, what if the car in front of you suddenly slams his brakes, what would or could you do? Being aware and anticipating possible occurrences will prepare you in making a split second decision.

To a normal human, one might think that they can experience anxiety any day. An example is that some people think watching someone scale a building, or someone walk on a tightrope across two high buildings gives them anxiety. Although this is somewhat true, true anxiety is completely different. Anxiety is a serious mental illness that some people unfortunately suffer from. “Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the US” (“Facts & Statistics”) . People who have anxiety disorder are constantly worrying or stressful from normal everyday events. These patients have troubles operating in day to day operations, such as driving. There are different types of anxiety disorders including phobias,

I came to a point in my life that I only feel comfortable if I was with a group of friends and I was the driver. It took me to that state that it's not a discouragement with my friends, but a way to set myself to feel safer knowing that I'm in charge of my life. Another issue that causes me to feel emotional and Sets me to a sad/crying state would be the sound of car brakes squeaking, and the smell of rubber tires. It's an uncontrollable feeling that lasts about a thirty seconds, but afterward, I feel completely normal again. To me all the signs from the PTSD car accident causing me to be in a survival mode to prepare for the worst

While driving, I feel like a soldier in a war zone, having to stay alert, knowing at any given time, my enemy can show up and what could happen next will unfortunately change my life.

The Alabama Graduated Drivers License Law was one of the main things I learned during this course. This law is very important today and became affected on October 1, 2002. A Fifteen year old with a valid learner’s license are to be accomplished by a parent or legal guardian of the age of twenty-one with a valid divers license. This law states that six-teen year olds must not operate

Children the age of fourteen should be able to get their permit. Fourteen years olds need to know the safety of driving. Fourteen year olds should have two years of experience of driving before being able to drive alone. They need to get used to being behind the wheel. They would also get used to the roads.

I received my driver’s license a few weeks before I turned twenty. By that time, almost everybody I knew already had their driver’s license; in fact, most of them have been driving for years. When I tell my friends that I actually just got my license, the express shock and wonder at why it took me me so long to get it. The reason that it took so long for me to get my license is that the thought of driving makes me nervous. The night after I passed my permit test, I was filled with worries; I thought about everything that could go wrong with driving a car. What if I got into an accident? What if I accidentally break driving laws and the police gives me a ticket? What if I hit a dog? All these questions pushed my anxiety to the highest level and gave me zero confidence even before I officially started learning how to drive. I immediately pitied the people who were tasked to teach me how to drive. Those people ended up being my mother and father.

Performing seemingly effortless tasks while driving still have an effect on your driving performance. According to the article, “How the Brain Reacts”, it states the “parietal lobe associated with

Driving is a skill and a necessity in today’s society. As with everything that is designed to help people there are those who take advantage of it and put others in danger. According to a study done by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (2017) some of the most dangerous driving habits that occur in the United States are; speeding, distracted driving, and driving tired. To improve our society we need to focus on these habits and try to break them. In doing so, it will make traveling by road much safer and will reduce the number of people that are killed in motor vehicle accidents.

I often get asked why I don’t drive and my simple response to those who ask is simply that I have no interest, which isn’t necessarily true. The real reason I cower away from what I consider to be a huge responsibility of driving is because I have witnessed firsthand the crippling effects cars can have on the fragile human life. In February of my senior on a day that I had just happened to be home from school I received a text from an unusual number it was my best friend’s brother who had texted me to inform me that his sister, a girl who was at my house five times a week, someone who was attached to my hip had been hit by a car. The text was simple and nonchalant which made me think it couldn’t have been too bad.

teens are overinvolved in crashes because they lack both the judgment that comes with maturity and the skill that comes with experience. The crash rate per mile driven among 16-19 year-olds is 4 times as high as for older drivers. Graduated licensing is designed to delay full licensure while allowing beginners to obtain initial experience under lower-risk conditions. The best systems set 16 as the minimum age to get a learner's permit, and during this period parents certify at least 30-50 hours of supervised driving. Intermediate licensure begins at 16½ or older and lasts until at least 18 years old and includes both a night driving restriction starting at 9 or 10 p.m. and a rule prohibiting teen passengers, or allowing no more than 1 when

The current driving age of sixteen is implemented in almost every state in the United States. Most states have become accustomed to the current driving age, but recently there are certain states that believe that the legal driving age should be raised due to various reasons. The main argument for most states is that sixteen-year old’s are not mature enough and lack the preparation to handle the responsibility to drive safely. Teenagers under the age of eighteen should be required to wait longer to get their license and should be more prepared before getting their license.
