Ah, the joy of having a driver’s license. I remember the amazing feeling of sweet freedom I experienced on my 16th birthday when I was told I passed my driving test. Suddenly, I felt like an adult, and the world (or at least my hometown) was my oyster. I felt mature, as I understood the responsibility that the open road comes along with, but I was excited for all of the new opportunities at my fingertips. A road trip to the beach with my friends? Stopping for coffee on the way to school in the morning? Being able to get a job because I could actually take myself there? I was thrilled!
