Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

I am 16 and have been driving for a little more than a month. I agree with some of the laws they want to change. Some, however, I strongly disagree with. The idea of doubling the length of time before a teen gets his or her license, to me, is a good one, and I think that should definitely be changed. Before you can legally drive, you need to have as much practice as you can. Therefore when you do get out there on the roads with your license, you are at less of a risk for accidents. On the other hand, I disagree with banning night driving for 16-year-olds because a lot of time, after 10 p.m., kids get off work and have to drive home. And sometimes there are family emergencies.
