Q152. Do you think teenagers should be allowed to drive?
A. Sample Answer
I do think that teenagers should be allowed to drive for two very important reasons. First off,
teenagers need to be able to drive to do important errands for their family. When I was a teenager, I
always did things for my mom and dad. I drove my little siblings around after school to things like
doctors' appointments and play dates. I also frequently drove to the grocery store because my mom
would forget something important like butter or cheese for dinner. In general, teenagers should be
able to drive so they can do things for other people. Additionally, teenagers need to be able to drive
in order to get practice. Some of my friends didn't drive when they were teens. They are having a
very difficult time now learning because they didn't learn when they were younger. Had their parents
encouraged them to drive when they were, say, 16 or 17, they would have saved a lot of time and
energy as adults. Accordingly, I think that teenagers should be allowed to drive.
