Review the passage and answer the 2-point Constructed Response (literary analysis) question that follows:
License to Drive
There is no reason why a person who is fifteen years old should not be allowed to get a driver's license. There is nothing magic
about the number of years in a person's age. Teenagers can learn from having to maintain a vehicle. The real issue when
considering whether teens should drive or not is their level of responsibility.
Driving a car puts you in a position of great opportunity and risk. Driving too fast, or recklessly, is dangerous. You can endanger
your own life. You can also endanger the lives of everyone else on the road. Listening to the radio or texting friends has caused
many accidents on the road. But responsible drivers have the wide-open road in front of them and endless opportunities.
For a teenager who has already proven to be a responsible person, the ability to drive provides many benefits. For one, it
encourages further development of responsibility. By rewarding a responsive teen with the freedom of driving, society teaches
the teen that responsible behavior pays off in the long run. The parents of the teen will also benefit by not having to drive their
teen around to work, school and extracurricular activities.
In contrast, a responsible teen who were denied the right to drive may think, "What's the point of trying to be responsible?" This
lesson can carry over into school, work and personal life. If teenagers feel like their parents do not trust them, they may begin to
doubt themselves.
Some people question whether fifteen-year-olds are old enough to drive. My answer is that some are. Some are not. The
question is not the numerical age of the person, but how mature they are. If mature and responsible teens are given the
opportunity to drive, them everyone benefits. Those who are not responsible should not be aloud to operate a vehicle. But don't
punish everyone just because of a few bad apples.
