Module 7: Collision Costs and Preventions
There are many costs associated with owning and driving a car. The purchase of a car is only the beginning. There are maintenance costs, fees, tolls, taxes, fuel and insurance. For the next few questions, you will explore these costs by talking to a parent or guardian about your driving responsibilities.
1. Will I have a vehicle of my own to drive, or will I share?

2. Who will pay for the insurance and gas?

3. Contact your family’s car insurance company to obtain a cost estimate. How much will you be expected to pay monthly or annually?

4. If you drive 50 miles each week and your car gets 25 miles to the gallon with gas costing $4.00 per gallon, how much gas will you have to buy?

5. If you get paid $8.00 per hour at your job and insurance is $200 a month, how many hours will you have to work to pay for insurance?

6. Will your parents set restrictions on your driving such as the hours of the day you can drive or how many passengers you can have in the car? If so, please include restrictions.

7. Will your parents allow you to drive to school, work, on major highways, how far from home can you drive? Please include where you will be allowed to drive.

8. Never text and drive! Discuss with your parents the use of your cell phone when driving. Explain to them the one situation when it would be appropriate to talk on your cell phone. Then write the situation you spoke with them about.

    Transportation is something that is the norm of America. The number one way to transport people across the world is cars. Most families in the middle class tend to have at least 1 to 2 cars for transportation and sometimes even more. Cars are able to get us from point A to point B in a convenient and timely manner. A question many consumers ask when first buying a car is usually “what insurance do I need?”. Although it usually depends on personal preference and just how much you value your car and how much you are willing to spend, I personally suggest that people should purchase liability insurance, collision coverage insurance and comprehensive coverage.…

    Parents are always commenting that kids are growing up way too fast these days compared to years before. With this being said, teenagers must be mentally ready at an earlier age to drive. Before getting to drive, teenagers rely on their parents to chauffer them to events and jobs. Being able to drive, gives a teenager the ability to have a job if they want one and to sign up for outside the home activities. Young drivers will also be able to learn more about the world around them. They will be able to get to know the roads and area while still at home. Thus, becoming more aware of their environment and the people in it before leaving the nest for college or the after high school…

    In the United States, every state has their own laws and the minimum driving age for driving, but in most of states, the legal driving age is sixteen years. However, it is dangerous to drive a motor vehicle alone for a sixteen years old driver. Some people believe that older teenagers can make a responsible decision while driving. On the other hand, some people believe that younger teenagers can do jobs because they can drive themselves. Statistics show that young drivers – sixteen to seventeen years old – have more traffic accidents than most other demographic groups. The driving age should be raised from sixteen years to eighteen years old for several reasons.…

    Nowadays many teenagers feel that they need to be independent from their parents as soon as they possibly can. It is common for there to be contests among friends regarding who gets to go out by themselves, who has no curfew, and who learns how to drive first. Many teens feel that they need to learn how to drive as soon as they can. The driving age should be raised to 18 because many teens are not yet responsible enough to respect traffic safety laws; they are easily distracted by cellphones while driving; and tend to drive intoxicated, which commonly results in deadly crashes.…

    Raising Driving Age

    A week before my 16th birthday after hours of begging and pleading, my mom finally took me out to practice my driving skills. I enjoyed the new experience, even though I didn't exceed 30 mph, in the empty parking lot at my old elementary school. Unlike all of my friends, I wasn't promised a car for my 16th birthday nor did my parents allow me to get my permit. Instead, I was forced to wait until I was "older". By the time of my 18th birthday, I was ready to take my test for my permit. Sounds sad because I had to car-pool or bum rides off of my parents for those 2 years, but I never totaled my parents car, never had to spend all my money on gas , didn't make their insurance sky rocket, and im still living today to give this speech. I support the choice to change the driving age because of the constant facts that I am reminded of each day.…
