In the real world we are constantly confronted with new obligations and along with them we often have to sign written contracts. This is your opportunity to move one step closer to adulthood and it's responsibilties and freedoms. The current "NOW" generation will not be stifled by additional driving requirements prior to earning their driving privilege. It will only make the safer and responsible and provide them the opportunity to grow into adulthood.
