I never took my driving test in high school like my classmates because neither of my parents thought I was ready to drive. That was fine, but I didn’t realize it would take me so long to get a license. I lived in urban Pittsburgh for a while, and never really had the need to drive. I used public transportation, and my husband drove us other places. Once we moved away to a more rural area, it became apparent very quickly that I would have to go out and take my driving test. Teenagers are a bit more reckless, and that means they are eager to drive and not quite as scared of a car as they should be.
