in getting their drivers license through various stages of approval. They are present in many locations throughout the state. The DMV helps in various processes like filling out the application process, taking your pictures for the Driver’s License ID cards, conducting eye examination for approving your license, distributing the driver’s handbook used for referring to various rules and regulations including the sample test details and questions for attending driver license tests, conducting the written
A driver’s license has played a significant role in the lives of many, if not all Americans in the past hundred years or so. The question now is whether driving and the attainment of a license is still not only significant, but also necessary to many Americans. Over eighty percent of driving age Americans have a driver’s license, few report to regularly use public transportation, and getting from one place to another is still critical, so it appears that they are still quite necessary. I have personally
Whether or not teenagers should be allowed to get their driver 's license at age sixteen is a known topic across the United States. One of the causes for this argument is the number of fatalities caused by young drivers. Evidence shows, “In 2012, 1,875 drivers between the ages of 15 and 20 died in motor vehicle crashes and an additional 184,000 young drivers were injured, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,” (“Teen Drivers”). Most accidents are caused by young drivers
adults to support higher required ages for drivers’ licenses (Gregory). Teenagers, though, say this would be unfair and would make their lives difficult. Meeting the needs of Indiana teenagers while still keeping them and other drivers safe can be accomplished by a more restrictive graduated licensing law. The current licensing law in Indiana is graduated. It requires teens to be at least 15 to start driver’s education. At 15, a teen who takes driver’s education get a permit; otherwise one has to be
Current Driver’s Education: A Troubling Issue for America From the March 2003 invasion of Iraq until September of 2006, about 2,600 American troops were killed in combat and war-related incidents (Wilson 18). Did you know during that same 41-month period, more than 22,000 teenagers, ages 15 to 19, died in traffic accidents on U.S. roads? (Wilson 18). That number has now escalated to approximately 4,500 soldiers and over 40,000 teens lost. Parents in the United States have relied on driver’s education
the amount of time spent together. There is no greater feeling when you enjoy taking a car for a joyride. Yes, I have an emotional connection with driving and so do many other communities in this nation. Many onlookers and citizens who hold a driver’s license view speed with a negative connotation. The phrase, “speed kills,” is a popular one. That is why we immediately think that a raise in the speed limits would greatly increase the number of crashes. A spokeswoman for the Governors Highway Safety
What is as dangerous if not more dangerous than murder and suicide? A car accident is. Being in the seat of a vehicle put’s a driver’s life in jeopardy the instant they are in the seat of a vehicle. Adam Ford explains drivers licenses were issued first in the 1900s and conditions have changed substantially: More powerful cars exist, and more are on the road (Ford). With this notion, Ford explains why cars are more dangerous on the road; however, the types of cars that exist in present times are not
which is usually caused by poor education within the classroom itself; therefore decreasing the safety of all drivers on the road. Increasing the driving hours with your instructor and legal guardian will help solve this dilemma. The difficulty of a driver’s education class can vary quite drastically throughout schools, which will in turn cause some students to receive less than sufficient instruction. Similarly, in what is referred to as a “blow off” class, students don’t always pay complete attention
play an educational role by enrolling their teen into a driver’s educational program. Some states require students to complete a comprehensive graduated drivers licensing (GDL) program prior to receiving their license. The brain function is still developing in teenagers and may impede the quick thinking process necessary to become a responsible driver. For the safety and welfare of teenagers the age requirement in Arizona for a driver’s license should be increased from 16 to 18 years of age. In the
Should the driving age in the United Kingdom be raised to 18? The current driving age is 17, but there are debates relating to whether we should raise the age to 18. The argument has been raised because a large number of road accidents are caused by young drivers, therefore measures should be put in place to rectify the dangers. One of the main reasons the driving age needs to be addressed is the number of casualties caused by youths on roads. According to the UK Department for Transport, one fifth
responsibility. I think that raising the driving age up to twenty-one is the good way to stop accidents car caused by teenagers. There are many people think that six-teen to eight-teen years old the appropriate age for teenagers to have a driving license. But at this immature age, teenager are easily distracted by radio, music, or talking with friends while they are driving. Their responsibility is not enough for driving. The accidents are not from reckless driving, but also from the driver who are
More than 5,000 teenagers die while driving each year in the United States (Gregory). In my opinion this is due to three different, yet equally important factors. The first factor is that the teenage mind is yet to be fully developed, causing them to make irresponsible and sometimes reckless decisions. The second factor is that the experience of driving has evolved since the original driving age was established in the early 20th century. The third and final aspect to take into consideration would
Growing up every teenager including myself acquires what their parents could provide for them whether it was clothes, accessories or a car. In 2011 I turned eighteen and went to the DMV to get my driving license. After obtaining my driver license my parents bought me a car it was not a new or old car but, a decent one. The car I received was a 2006 ford focus with 40,000 miles. I loved my first car it took me to school and work with no problem. The car was so spacious that if I got to my destination
Drive or Survive People form decisions every day that affect the lives of others. Driving under the influence is a major decision people undertake that can lead to serious repercussions. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people are involved in driving under the influence accidents (MADD). Each of these accidents could have been prevented had those involved not been under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Granted, the problem with preventing these accidents is that people do not want to change
“Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of unintentional deaths for teens (16-17),” reported The New York State Department of Health. The most exciting thing about being sixteen in the United States is driving. Teenagers can not wait to be sixteen to drive, however, they do not understand the dangers that come with driving at such a young age. Sixteen is the age between child life and adulthood. It is a time when they are not stable and undergoing change, which makes them unsuitable to drive

(sirs.com,para.11).People believe we should try and ban cell phones from behind the wheel but that simply would never be able to happen, the generation that is getting their licenses now has grown up in the “digital age”, they are constantly connected to their phones (some people say kids have their phones glued to their hands) and for some that cannot put it down they will have to be ok with paying for using it in the car.

at any moment of any day. Although they aren’t alone, teenage drivers are the most significant risk of automobile accidents for three key reasons. They are more likely to take risks, they lack driving experience, and the path to getting their driver’s license lacks any actual difficulty. Remember that one time you sped up to make it through that yellow or red light, hoping that it wouldn’t slow your travel time down by a few minutes? You were taking a risk that ultimately wasn’t worth it and endangering
