Is Driving a Privilege?

Driving has always been a privileged and not a right. At least that's what your Dad will tell you, but when you are in your youth, like 30's; it really doesn't matter it's a privilege or right, I got my license so Back Off!

Recently, I have noticed lots and LOTS of accidents on the highway and unfortunately the truth states that most of the accidents are the younger folks and not the elderly. Why is that? Is it the excitement of going at 90 mph on the highway? Oh, how I know how that feels like, blood rush and sweaty palms. The phrase 'young and stupid' seems to come across my mind. What's the rush is the question I asked whenever I see an accident where the front of someones car glue to another car's back bumper. So dramatic and yet it must be really painful, physical and financial.

I am in my mid 30's also and I really don't get it. I thank God each and every day that I don't get into the types of accident I see each week. Slow down please, what's the rush? Is not your life worth it? Do you expect pity from other drivers? Heck No! First, you slow down traffic by getting everyone into rubbernecking; secondly, you damaged another person's card, and thirdly, you just "jack" your insurance up.

One life to lived (literally), don't wasted on a bad car accident. Final thought, driving is a privilege and not a right. Slow down Please!
