Learning how to drive is a big experience for teenagers and I think they should learn but, give it a few more months.

So, many teenagers get into car accidents because of not having enough practice or just not paying attention. This is no silly matter. Paying attention on the road is very important and teenagers need to realize these matters.

I have had a few of my friends pass because of their reckless driving from not being careful also from street racing. That is one of the worst things you can do as a teenager is be street racing. You are risking your life or your license.

Driving is a serious matter and just because your friends think it might be cool doesn't mean you should get forced to drive people around because they might call you a freak.

Being a serious driver is more cool than having all your friends think your cool because you can drive them around. Don't be in a rush to drive, take your time.

You have your whole life in front of you, you don't want to lose it being a reckless driver.
