What to do when you can't get a license?

Answer 1

Teens who cannot get their driver's license or have failed the tests often feel frustrated and sad. Fortunately, teenagers and young adults have many alternatives available, such as:

• walk to your destinations and back - walking has worked since humans developed, walking never needs gas, walking costs nothing, and gives good exercise
• rollerskate to the location
• bike to the location - biking is pleasant, just follow all Rules of the Road
• ask your parent(s) to drive you
• ask your older sibling(s) to take you
• ask your parent if an adult neighbor can take you if the person agrees
• offer to do extra chores to pay for a taxi
• ask your parents if your friend can pick you up - but make sure the friend is a great driver so you don't get hurt
• ask your church pastor for a ride
• put off things you want to do and instead stay home and do your homework

NOTE: Never accept rides from strangers. Never accept rides without asking your parent's permission.
