While some kids aren't in a particularly big hurry, many of them rush to the DMV as soon as they turn fifteen to get their permits. They then rush back equally anxiously to get their intermediate licenses when they turn sixteen. Eventually, however, driving simply becomes another daily habit - something they do without thinking too much about it. After you have been driving for several years, it's easy to become complacent. We form habits. We relax. Before too long, many of us end up driving "on auto-pilot." In order to ensure the safety of yourself, your passengers, and other drivers, however, it is imperative that you remain alert every second that you are on the road.
