Mediacreations, here in my state they what is called a Graduated Drivers License or GDL program. It is what a teenage drive has starting at the age of 14 and they have until they are 18, if they do not screw up. At 14 they are issued a learners permit, if they pass a written test. That gives them the privlege, not right, to learn to drive with another adult licensed driver in the car with them. If they pass Drivers Ed. and they pass another test they are issued a license, again it is the next step in the GDL program. This happens around the age of 16 for most kids. If they keep their noses clean and stay out of trouble when behind the wheel of a car they get a regular adult drivers license when they turn 18. But if they scew up, which most of them do, they can lose it until they are 21 in some cases.

I recently had to renew my license, and I decided to do it on a Sat., bad idea BTW. There were a lot of kids getting their GDL's. One 16 year old boy thought he was all big and bad cause now he had a license. And he was of course expressing his bad ass attiude as 16 yr old boys will do. Well his dad was with him, when he started to express his attitude his dad took his license and grounded him from driving for a week because of his attitude. This all happened in front of everyone in the DOT office. Of course the other kids were all saying how unfair it was. Their parents told them to shut up or they were next. It got real silent after that. As I was sitting there waiting for my number to be called for my renewal all I could think of was there is a DUI before she is 18, he is going to cause a accident with in a month. And things of that sort when looking at these kids.

I have a ture story to tell it is rather long. I'll tell it if I am asked. It is about a bunch of kids, high school seniors and juniors out for a good time in mom and dads car, they are drinking and driving and they get into a accident in front of my in-laws house. Want to know more ask and I will tell. Let me put it this way one girls life was ruined by her stupid mistake and decision. No one was killed or seriously hurt, but her life will never be the same again.
