So you finally got yourself a set of wheels to drive around town. After all those hard work, you finally get your hands on the steering wheel, and your have yourself propped right in the driver's seat. No more riding shotgun, or even like a baby at the back of the passenger vehicle. This time, you are the controller of the machine you call your own. The day you finally get to drive your own car is like winning the race of capturing that checkered flag you may call your goal of having a ride.

However, driving is not just a fancy way of flaunting your newly acquired vehicle. There is a great deal of responsibility involved when driving, for the self and for the safety of others on the road. The driving you get to see on races, trying to reach that checkered flag first among others is not the type of driving you will be doing in the real world. Driving in the real world is more of being defensive and cautious rather than being aggressive in reaching the destination. For one, the environment in the real world is unpredictable and uncontrolled unlike in race tracks. There are traffic rules to obey and regulations to be adhered to.

Be sure that when you get to back your car off the drive way, safety is the first thing that should be thought of, not beating the clock to the destination. Also, be sure that you have your driver's license with you, as this is your legal permit to drive, without it, you don't have any right driving a vehicle. With the pride of new wheels and being the envy of those who aspire of having one, the same amount of responsibility is needed to make sure that your car, as well as others remains safe on the streets.
