Wait to Drive?

This is my reasponse to this: Your state legislature is considering a bill that would require a person to earn a high school diploma before he or she could receive a driver’s license. What is your position on this issue? Write an essay to convince your state legislature to accept your point of view.

Don’t you hate traffic? Do you want a fewer chance of accidents? Well, if you said yes to both of theses questions, I have a solution for you. People should not receive a driver’s license until they have graduated from high school. There will be less traffic, less accidents, and people will become smarter. Wouldn’t you like there to be less traffic?

It seems like where ever you go these days you always have traffic. Either heavy or light, it is always there. If all people had to graduate high school before getting a license, there would be fewer drivers. Fewer drivers equal fewer cars to cause traffic. Also if we had less cars we would have a lower chance of accidents.

Most accidents are caused because of other cars. If we have a lower amount of drivers who were inexperienced, we would have a fewer chance of car crashes. Also, if people wait to get their licenses and get a high school diploma, then people in general will be smarter.

People will want and actually try to earn a high school diploma because everyone wants to drive. Students will have a reason to want to go to school. They will try their hardest to receive the privileges to drive. Pulse, since most people will have a high school diploma, they will do better in life by being able to get a better job, rather than just dropping out.

In conclusion I think that people should not receive a driver’s license until they have graduated from a high school. There would be less traffic, fewer accidents, and people would be smarter. I hope you understand why we should do just that.
