HERE ARE FIVE QUICK WAYS TO LOSE YOUR DRIVING PRIVILEGES*

1. Talk on your cell phone while driving. :yay::yay::yay:

2. Drive with friends in your car.

3. Don't wear your seat belt.

4. Break curfew.

5. Get a speeding ticket.

* Six new laws will take effect on October 1, 2005 that will apply to everyone** who has a learner's permit or a provisional license.

** Yes. Everyone. Even you. In 2004, 138 people under the age of 21 died in car crashes. We don't want you or any of your friends to be a statistic.

For more details, and exceptions, visit our web site at www.mvamaryland.com or call the MVA Customer Service Center at 1-800-950-1MVA (1682)

Didn't you ever wonder about that, though? You can't break curfew unless it involves employment. I just don't see that curfew would have any bearing on one's ability to drive.

These kids are so unexperienced driving to begin with, then they go and pack all their friends in the car with them, and start flapping their gums on cell phones while horsing around with their buddies in the car. When I first got my liscense my parents didnt like me to have anyone in the car with me. I thought they were just bring mean, but now that I look back, I can see that they were trying to get me more driving experience before having a bunch of immature teenagers packed into my car. Bravo to the MVA for finally putting something like these laws into place.

My guess is that kids under 18 (and still in school) have no business being out on the road that late anyway, and since so many parents apparently don't wish to enforce it with their kids, the state's made it the police's job. Heck, I don't see why a kid should be working that late anyway. :shrug:

I had a job right when I turned 16. I got up and drove from the Park to LHS, then back to get dressed and eat something. Then back to Leonardtown Superfresh to work until 11ish, then back to the Park to do my homework. I'm sure it crossed my mind as to why I had to be off the streets at that time. Now looking back on it why should a provisional punkass driver be on the streets at that time? What are they doing productive, unless working of course?

What productive activity is anyone else involved in at that hour, unless they're working, of course. :shrug:

When I was in school, we packed our friends in all the time and never had accidents. I just don't understand that one.

Point in case, provisional drivers are less likely to have a 'life' therefore making them more of a threat on the roads at that hour and any other. Besides, don't they need some quality sleep if they are supposed to be in school?

Quality sleep? :lmao: Teenagers don't get quality sleep even if they stay home all night.
