I don't buy that insurance excuse either and your right everyone is a liability when it comes to insurance. They say people in my age group "teenagers" are a big liability but I hear of people with tons of accidents and stupid stuff on their record and mine is SPOTLESS. I even found a company that hires at 18 driving tractor trailers hauling grain! |
It's called the Lowest Common Denominator. As generations pass, teenagers seem to be more and more careless and irresponsible, but that's a parenting and mass media issue more than anything else. I am glad you are the exception, but since it's easier to lump you in with your lazy and careless peers, well, I hate it for you.
Back when I was in High School, 17 and 18 year old students made money at their part time jobs - driving school buses. Yes, that's right. If you were responsible the principal would allow you to go take the test and become a school bus driver, morning and afternoons. I was one of them. They canned the program back around 1991 and ever since you had to be over 21 to drive a bus, no more students driving school buses.
The kicker to this was the FACT, by the school districts own stats, the 17 and 18 year old bus drivers had ZERO minor or major incidents over the last 10 year stretch - a better safety record than the older drivers! The "adults" were constantly running into ditches, backing over mailboxes, the grown-ups racked up a whole list of preventables! No good reason for stopping students from driving other than district insurance requirements changed - and they paid for it.
