Explanation:

Turning 16 has long been a rite of passage, as teens head to the Department of Motor Vehicles to get their license to drive, but that may change if conservative state senator Rob Evans has his way. Evans proposes raising the minimum age for a temporary driver's permit to 16.5, requiring teens to have six months and 50 hours behind the wheel before they can take a driving test. Evans, 66, says that "times have changed" since he was 16 and that today's teens "do not exhibit the same caution and concentration" his generation did. Clearly, Senator Evans is living in the past. Students need their licenses to get to school, activities, and part-time jobs. Documenting driving hours takes time and money. Call Senator Evans and let him know that this is an unnecessary and ridiculous proposal.
