It’s interesting to me that the courts are thinking about changing the driving age to 18. Mostly because at 16 you’re old enough to get a job. If you’re old enough to get a job and be responsible, why not to drive? Also, parents and the courts are complaining that kids aren’t as responsible as they used to be, who’s fault is that? Maybe if parents taught kids to be more responsible then kids wouldn’t have that issue. I also like how if there is a vote on changing the age, we are completely powerless because we can’t vote on our own prospects of having our mode of transportation and freedoms being revoked by a system that is controlled by adults when adults are the ones who are fucking up the kids and the system. So let’s recap, 16 year olds are to irresponsible to drive, I say that parents are too irresponsible to make the decision that we can or can not drive, since they’re too irresponsible to not teach their kids to be responsible.
Which courts? Which states? Are they going to revoke licenses already issued until the teen turns eighteen? And geez! Parents would hate that! I don't know about you, but my mom was ecstatic the day I got my license, mostly just because she wouldn't have to drive me back and forth to school anymore. Let alone guitar lessons, the library, the occasional random stuff with friends, and just regular errands. Me thinks the politicians supporting this should try driving their kids around everywhere until they turn eighteen and see how they like it.
