This law pertains to the legal driving age in the state of Georgia. The legal age to operate a vehicle is 16 years old. These teenagers are given the right to a drivers license if they pass a simple driving test. Upon turning 16 and receiving their license, these young adults take on a whole new responsibility of having their life and the lives of others in their hands by driving a car. These kids have been driving with their parents with a permit for a year, but they are still very inexperienced compared to most of the other drivers out there on the roads. Parents are the main influence in letting their kids get their drivers license as well as letting them drive. It is the parents responsibility to teach these kids how to drive as well as teach them all the responsibility that comes with driving. Ultimately, the parents decide if their kids should try and get their license at the age of 16.

This law does not effect me personally right now, but it did when I turned sixteen. I understand how getting a drivers license gives teenagers a feeling of accomplishment and empowerment. However, with this comes great responsibility, which can be hard to understand at the age of 16. That is why this law is so unique and in a sense defines who a person is. By giving these kids the privilege of driving, this law defines these teenagers as they inch closer to adulthood. It doesn't define them as a adult in society, but it does define these teenagers as apart of the society because they hold responsibility with an official government document.
