Senator Letter #14

Dear Mr. Senator:

Hi, my name is Joel, I go to Frank Borman Middle School. I am in the 8th grade. The reason why I am writing this letter to you is because I want you to pass a law. The law that I want to pass is a law saying that people should at least be able to drive even when they are 14 years old. You should pass this law because their are some people that drive even when they aren't old enough. You should pass the law saying that they can get their drivers license if they can drive good and are tall enough to see over the steering wheel.

This law is a good law for all the teenagers. The reason why is because mostly all the teenagers are never at home they are with their friends almost all the time. Then when they need a ride to their friends house mostly their parents never give them a ride. So if you were to pass the law they would never have to ask their parents for a ride again. They would be able to go were ever they want to. That is why it is a good thing to pass this law.

But the same laws will go against them like speeding and not having license plates. This law would really work for all the teenagers that are mostly never home. They will never have to ask their parents for a ride anymore. That is why it is a good thing to pass this law. But for the teenagers they should have some different laws. Like they should not be able to drive around after midnight. Also they should not be driving if they do not have someone with them that is at least 16 years and older.

But the bad things about this law is that their are more chances of the teenagers can run away from home. That is one thing that is bad about this law if you would to pass the law. Another thing that is bad about this law is that car accidents can go up because of this. Their are more things that are bad about this law but I just can not name them all. Another thing that can go wrong is that their can be more chances of teenagers being caught drunk driving. Or maybe teenagers driving while taking drugs like they might have been smoking marijuana. The chances of those can be high because mostly a lot of teenagers drink before they are old enough or smoke.

But out of all the bad things that can happen passing this law can be a good thing for teenagers and the parents. Because not all teenagers are always at home and when they are not at home they are with their friends. But when they are at home they might want to go to their friends house but their parents would not take them their.

Sincerely:



Joel Barraza
