Driving age

Driving. Something everyone waits for ever since they turn the age of 10. But what should be the legal age to drive? Right now in Canada the legal age to drive is 16. Personally I don't think the age should change. 16 seems like the perfect age, think about it, at sixteen the are mature enough to handle driving around other people and would take it seriously. They will be able to Pay for the car, gas and car insurance because they will have a good paying job to support them. But of course at the age of sixteen you deserve to have more freedom to go where ever you want when ever you want.


There are two other ages that are commonly brought up in this subject. 14 and 18. At 14 I think teens are too young. They are not mature enough to handle what might happen on the roads. They obviously won't be able to pay all the bills and think about how "cool" they would try to act. Speeding tickets and even though it's illegal talking on the phone and texting. Yes, some of them could be mature and the age doesn't really matter. But 14 year old's take it as a right to drive not a privilege. When really, you need to earn the right to drive, kid's take it as a game including Road races and much more, and I'm not saying adults don't do this. But it's more likely that kids would. But then there's 18. 18 would be a good age to drive because at 18 you're more mature and learn the consequences about being a bad driver. They will also have enough money to pay all the bills and for the car. But they wouldn't have allot of stuff to do with the car. I personally wouldn't mind 18 but I still think 16 is the best.

There are both Pros's and Con's to these ages. Drinking and driving is a factor for any age, you just got to know the limit. Speeding tickets, and parking tickets also fit into this category. Any possible age could be the legal age to drive. But why would you want to compromise something that is already good. The legal age being 16 hasn't caused allot of problems and everyone makes a big deal about "Sweet Sixteen" and getting a car is also part of that too. So there is always something behind every reason and law in the world, not saying that was a reason. Kid's want it to be a really young age an example would be 10. But do you expect you're parents to pay the 100$ or so on the gas bill every time you run out of fuel. You're parents buy you allot of things and I don't think it would be their responsibility to pay for you're car bills too. They make their own living for what they want. So at young ages it's hard to make allot of money and get a good job to support your car. And younger people driving will put more life's in Jeopardy

I like the fact that kids will be becoming more mature after they start driving and growing into the real world. But I don't think a fourteen year old would be able to become mature. Kid's are growing up too fast, don't rush driving. Practically all the things I've said in these couple paragraph are the obvious. But I was forced to write about what I think the legal age to drive and I stated my opinion. But I'm pretty sure people still will want to drive by ten. Just wait to sixteen you will have plenty of time to drive after that.

What a plan!

The countless days that all we do is get up, get dressed, brush our teeth and eat breakfast then head off to school. Most days something new happens, but in my boring stick in the mud school NOTHING new happened. Same classes everyday same people walk the dark halls. No new signs and new kids. So today was the day I was going to spice up the school. My brain was devious and full of thoughts on what I could do, I could do anything I want and I still wouldn't get in trouble. See, my mom is always at work and is never home so it's not like she would ever hear about it. Then, theres my dad, he left when I was a small boy. But back to my plans. What to do, what to do...
I decided to go to the pet store, and buy myself a hudge creature. So big, I would have to buy a semitruck, because this creature was bigger the a single human. It was fearous and beastly, huge teeth and ragged fur. It was kept in the back room of store. Too dangerous to keep near people.
I now know exactly what I was going to do. Yes this is going to be big I might get a few people hurt, but whats a couple people less in this huge world. I couldn't imagine the schools terror when my plan is in action. Probaly one of the best things that will happen at this school. Maybe it will teach these stupid boring teachers that they need to have some fun! My plan was working out perfectly then I remember. There was one possible delay on this plan. I had no money to buy it. But I was going to try and make a deal with the shopkeeper. "Hello, ummm.. I was wondering if I could buy the feroious beast in the back room. Or maybe could I make a deal? Can I have it for free and work at your shop?"
The scrawny man at the front counter, turned his head and looked terrified at that back room. "You-you can have it! I want to get the ugly beast out of my shop now! So take it!" I smiled walked to the back room. Opened the door quickly put on the a massive leash, being carful not to get bitten. This creature was like no other animal in this world. No other terrifing beast would ever measure up to this-this thing. I actually had no idea what it was, maybe when I get home I will search it up on google. This plan was working out perfectly! I was dead set against that school, I was ready for it to be destroyed. Tomorrow would be the day or maybe the next week. But what would happen if the school destroyed for good? Would I have to move away from my friends, be one of those outsiders from a different town coming into a new school, dressed differently. I don't think I want to take the chance. Another plan down the drain, but what am I going to do with the beastly thing? I guess to the forrest we go! Trotting down the pathway to the forrest to let my new friend go into the wild. What a waste of time today was, missing school yet another time! Boy what am I going to do with my life?
My phone started ringing "Time to go home!" Someone yelled down the street, Oh my goodness! That reminded me! I had to be home right now, time to write in he journal again. That book, Oh what a book! Filled with my daily pans to destroy the school. One for ever day I was in that school, 751 pages filled with crap. My life is going, jus wait untill tomorrow, who knows what plan I will come up with!
