Bend Over, I'll Drive

The last time I drove a motor vehicle I was twenty three years old. I'm thirty three years old now, and I just passed the test for my learners permit. People really do get smarter as they get older. When I was seventeen, I had to take the learners permit test three times. I only had to take it twice this time.

Eventually I'll get my U.S. citizenship, and that's what will make me officially American. However, a social security number and a drivers license are really what open up all the doors for a person in this country. The social security number allows you to earn a living. Unless you live in New York, a drivers license, and the mobility that comes with it, is what really allows you to live free or die. I'd rather vote with my gas pedal than a ballot.
