Raise the driving age!

G'day Everyone!

Finally, something that I support very much. You know, we live in the age of cell phones, blackberries, and side kicks. Teens are very talkative. They have so much DISTRACTIONS around them. So here's this proposal in the article: http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/09/09/driving.age.ap/index.html

It was a few years ago, I've seen some aggressive teenage drivers trying to use their cars to push around other drivers as if saying "this road is MINE, GET LOST!". I was able to see this YOUNG KID, 16 behind the wheel! Not only did I call the police, I had the license plate and went to the DMV. Of what happened to the poor kid, I'm not allowed to say. Except he won't be driving for a long while. Kids need to live out their childhood/early teen days. They should be able to drive at 18. But it's worry fact because some are in an argument to lower the drinking age from 21 to *get this* 18. AUGH. NOT A GOOD IDEA!!

In local news, there a FATAL reminder that you should never pass a school bus, no matter how slow it is. This young man, age 21, has learned a end of life fatal decision.

While it saddens me to learn this man has just been enjoying life, his decision to make a foolish choice ended in his literal passing. A funeral will be held with a closed casket.
So I say to you, drivers, that are young and old, DON'T EVER PASS A DAMN SCHOOL BUS!! There is no need to pass a school bus for any reason.

So that being said, I hope the young drivers out there will put off a decision of getting a license until they grow up some more. Life is precious. But once a bad mistake made is a possible fatal error.

Semper FI.
