i still think that it's too young. people that age are still way too irresponsible and immature to be driving. 21 is a much more suitable age in my opinion. i can't imagine the kind of drivers you have over there, at 16 years of age. it's absurd.
its funny. when i took the Basic Driver Improvement class with my dad as the teacher, he took a survey. he had the whole class rate their own driving skills. 1 being a horrible driver and 10 being an excellent driver. and 98% of the class voted themselves 8 and up. Now isn't that something?! A whole classroom of people (ranging from the age of 16-their 50's and 60s) who are all there due to driving mishaps of their fault, and they all think they're decent drivers? what's wrong with us?!
I don't think I'm a good driver.hoping4despairNovember 5 2003, 02:32:55 UTC
haha. I'm doing the waiver thing Thursday actually. but I will not be allowed to drive alone until I can prove to my dad the car is safe [noticed how I didn't say "I". heh]. Anyway, I think thats reasonable enough to ensure the safety of other drivers. He's been to driving school twice...and is anal to me about knowing if I know how to drive. =\

i, erin elyse jeffreys, have done MANY stupid things while operating a motor vehicle.... -totalled my integra 2 months after i bought it -had multiple high dollar speeding tickets - which i can't get anymore of -hit and run on a crazy redneck's trash can -went on a rage in rocky bayou hitting recycling bins with truck -off roading in a 2 wheel drive truck and getting stuck, paying 70 dollars at 11pm to get pulled out by hangin with mr. cooper -more speeding tickets
i think ive learned though... i havent done anything stupid with my new car...that would be dumb...i dont really speed anymore either - i cant afford to though. but yeah everyone just has to learn...the hard way...sometimes that means death (sorry i had to be dramatic) but i mean dude, it could happen. it sucks...cars are deadly weapons. gotta have consciousness and know how to use it

ohh yeah, and I totally agree, I've done stupid immature things behind the wheel to. At 16 I was no where near responsible enough to drive on my own, but, like you, luckily, I have matured in that respect.

i think it's safe to say that this kid should just... well... die

and if he keeps driving the way he does it probably won't take long.
(not that I would EVER wish a fatal car wreck on anyone)

well, i'm sure the kid knows how to drive.
it's just a matter of being responsible, which is not limited to young drivers.

my dad doesnt think i'm responsible becuase I don't clean out the litter box sometimes.
