Drivers Licence

drivers licence: Freedom and independence are the most common reasons. A drivers licence has been a Canadian rite of passage for many young adults. The first standard of admittance for a new driver was a simple height measurement. The average 16-year-old was four-foot-eight tall at the turn of the 20th century, a height at which the pedals of an average vehicle could be reached. Both theoretical and practical driving tests nowadays for teens are comprehensive and deemed difficult by any standard. , according to Times Colonist. Employment is a consideration as well. Many employers will not hire someone without a drivers licence. It is often a term of employment. There are certain jobs which might require a person to go for help in an emergency from isolated locations. Whenever I ask why a new driver candidate wants a licence, there is often a predictable response but there are sometimes unique and unpredictable answers to the question. Safety is another consideration for qualifying to drive. Many women do not feel safe waiting alone at a transit stop in the early morning or late evening. They would much rather be in a vehicle with automatic locking doors and the relative protection provided. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
