Driving can be exhilarating. When you role your windows down and enjoy the fresh cool spring air. Jamming out to your favorite song and just watching the road ahead of you. You just drive and drive and let the road take you to places you've never been before. Places to explore and to have new adventures. Getting your drivers license is one of the most exciting moments in a teenagers life and they just want to get out on the road right away. This is what I was like. When I got my license I couldn't believe it. I thought I was going to fail. Everyone before me in my family failed their first time, so I thought I had no chance. Once I was told I passed I started to tear up. I held it in though. When I walked out I looked at my mom and immediately started crying. I know, I'm such a baby, but I couldn't help it. It was so overwhelming! She even let me drive home! …show more content…
Why do we drive? Can't we just walk instead or just ride bikes. Life would be a whole lot different if we didn't have cars. It would take forever to get to work, school, and to meet up with friends. An upside though is that we would have less air pollution, so our air would be healthier to breathe in. Wouldn't that be great? If only Karl Benz hadn't created the first vehicle. Our world would change drastically. Sometimes I wonder how someone could even think of making a car. Just one day, some middle aged guy sitting on his old couch think to himself because he's so bored. He then thinks to himself "You know, I wonder if I could create something that could help us travel faster?". You'd have to be either really bored or just some kind of genius no of
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
My dad pulled me out of the chapel and told me it was okay to cry, that the only way to get through something was to accept what had happened, and that if that made me cry, it was okay. Everybody sees crying as a weakness but it is not. Crying is a coping method for me, and many other people that i know. After the ceremony, many people left and went home. As i collected myself, I watched the leaves fall off the trees and to the ground as we followed the hearse that carried my great grandmother inside of it. We got out of the car and walked to the burial, where everybody stood and said their last words about Nannie. I stood in between my dad and my grandma, she reached into her pocket and handed me the cross that i had given to my great grandmother. I set it down in her right hand, remembering her telling me how much she loved her cross and how she felt that it would always keep her safe.
Imagine how life would be if our society did not have cars. Today, our society is dependent on cars for our daily routines. From transporting our food, clothes, and technology to just going to the store across the street, cars are a very important part of our society. In the 19th century, only the wealthy and upper middle class had access to automobiles, and they only used cars for fancy transportation and to show off their money. This was due to the extreme prices of cars in the 19th century. With these high prices not many people could afford them, especially not the working class. Henry Ford revolutionized the automotive industry in the
I agree with the youth driving restrictions a 110%. They may have limited the youth but with great reasoning some young drivers are extremely careless and reckless.They don't think about the consequences of there actions when they cause accidents and drink and drive and seriously injure people and themselves. They try to impress other teens by driving fast and recklessly but they are only putting there life and other drivers life in jeopardy.I'm so glad we have restrictions on youth driving its necessary due to the fact that accidents are the number one cause of teenage death in America with restrictions . I don't want to imagine what the world would be like if there weren't restrictions.I think all of the provisions are fair and necessary.An
You feel the vibrating in your pocket, and quickly pull out your phone to respond to that all too important text. Half-way through the text you run into someone and mutter a quick sorry while finishing up your text. Little did you know that “someone” was a trash can, but you were too busy texting to notice. You are walking through the hallway at school later that day, and something catches your eye. While taking that quick glance, you run into a couple of people. After muttering your apology, you continue on your way. After school, you’re walking through the parking talking on your cell phone, when you hear car wheels screeching. You look up and realize that car almost hit you. You wave at the person and mouth sorry, but
Imagine having only one car for your whole family. This car could save people money and cause less injury in the world.
I usually do not post stuff like this, but I need to rant. I’m so over all this gun control bullshit. What’s going to happen next? Are people going to start bitching and complaining about banning vehicles? Why do you ask? Because people get drunk and get behind the wheel of a vehicle killing people all the time. When this happens it’s obviously the vehicles fault and not the person driving it. People need to realize that anyone at any time can find a way to hurt and/or kill someone, not just by gun use.
To begin, the car offers freedom to everyone so people can travel whenever and wherever they want. There no longer is reliability on train and bus schedules to tell you where you can go and what time. There is mobility anytime we want it, we can jump in the car and go where we want. The cars are essential to modern day because if we didn’t have cars then it would be like losing our freedom as said in, “Cars Now and Forever”.
Driving school was quite the experience for me. To say the least, it was extremely interesting. I learned so much from this course, which I did not even know I could learn so much about driving in four hours! Throughout my paper, I will talk about the main topics that I learned and what I expect to make me a better driver.
In the United States automobiles are necessary. Without cars people wouldn’t be able to move from place to place. Automobiles get us from anywhere from the house to the corner store or to traveling across the united states. When driving there is so many rules and regulations that we have to abide by. If you don’t it can be very life threatening to you and to somebody else in a near vehicle. There are hundreds of thousands of automobiles on the roads across the nation and if safety was not considered, thousand would be injured or even killed daily! Automobile safety has change a lot of the course of many century’s. Now that we are finding new ways to make our cars look good with all the gadgets and electronics new risks are
I didn't cry I just sat there. I went through that quick denial. I have dealt with Grief before with my father and then stepo father after him both passing, so I tried to handle this differently and just hold everything in and stay strong for my mom. I still am while around her but if I am being honest its destroying me inside if it wasn't for my grandpa my mom and my sisters would have been homeless after my dad died. He always supported us and he was so loving and I don;t know where to go from here without him. I wasn't with him every day or anything but he was always there if I needed advice or just somone to talk to and thats been ripped away from me and it feels like I'm being punished every time I have had a positive male role model in my life that would help me grow from a boy to a man they have passed away on me, and I know the stages of grief and I'm not in win I think it's because I tried holding everything down it feels like I'm getting every stage at once and it's awful. I just want to make him
Although I turned fifteen and a half over the summer, I still got my temporary licence, signed up for classes the very next day, and did my incars as soon as I possibly could. I figured out soon on that driving was not as easy as most people made it out to be. All of my friends made driving out to be fun and easy but not be. I found it difficult to stay in the lines and at the right speed every second I was driving. Even though my driving was subpar, I still passed my incars and driving school so when my birthday came, I figured I was one-hundred percent ready for my driver's test.
People that are blind could then have the ability to drive wherever they so choose. In addition, people who use a wheelchair every day could simply roll up to the car and go. Driverless cars would drastically cut traffic tickets in half. You would also have more time for other things while your car is driving you such as working on homework, talking on the phone, drinking coffee, and the list goes on and on.
Everyone has been through that time in their life when they're in their mid-teens, and start to obtain new privileges and responsibilities like driving for the first time, and or getting a first real job. One might sound dull, and boring, but the other is something every teen cannot wait to experience, but unluckily for me my first driving experience wasn't so great. A couple months back, I was in my auto technical class, and the class, and I were doing our day to day shop work when my instructor came up to me, and said he needed a car moved so we can check it out. He handed me the keys no questions asked most likely because I had neglected to tell him I haven't even gotten my permit yet. So me and my buddy ran to the car with excitement and I hopped into the driver side assuring my friend I knew what I was doing after he’d asked me about three times. I put the vehicle in drive and it started to move at that moment I realized I didn't know to hold the brake down and ended up colliding with the truck in front of us.
Wilson argues that without cars, we would have to live very close together in apartments and row houses so that we could walk to public transportation depots. He also says that we would miss seeing the beaches and the countryside except for an occasional glimpse from a bus or train window. We would have city upon city. Still, the car haters tell us that with the use of bikes and public transportation we will have less pollution, noise and our energy is used more efficiently. Well what about the benefits? Wilson states "The automobile is more flexible, more punctual, supplies greater comfort, provides for carrying more parcels, creates more privacy, enables one to select fellow passengers, and, for distances over a mile or more, requires less travel time" (308). So to those that reject the notion of an automobile, Wilson says, "The car does exist, and has powerfully affected the living, working, and social spaces of America" (304).
