Why Las Vegas Teens Avoid Getting Their Drivers License

Not sure what's going on, but lately, it seems that Las Vegas teens are avoiding getting their driver license! This topic popped up on The Mike & Carla Morning Show and parents had no problem calling in and telling M&C why.

Of course when we were all growing up, we couldn't wait to get ours...starting out with a learners permit! It was a signal of freedom for us! A lot of us would beg our parents if we could go to the store for milk or anything else they needed.

We were always front and center if our little brothers or sisters needed to go some where. We had the freedom to roam the roads of our home turf and we loved it. Evidently now it's a little different thought process. So why are teenagers putting off getting their DL?

The first reaction is of course money! Money for insurance, to buy a car and paying for gas. But needless to say, parents called in with another reason why. It seems that "fear" is the biggest reason most kids are NOT getting their drivers license.

We also talked to parents who said they had kids that were in their 30's and never got their license to drive! Between Uber, Lift and mom & dad driving them around, they were perfectly happy. One parent thought their kid was just plain lazy. He kept renewing his driver's permit. Didn't even think you could do that.

One the other hand, one school administrator gave another reason...it was something that very few people know. And what's more, she said it was the law in the state of Nevada. See, The M&C Morning Show is more than just a couple of people with nice voices! The show can sometimes actually be informative.

So, take a couple of minutes, listen and give us your take!

To say you're completely calm while driving everyday is probably not one-hundred percent true. We hall have that one thing that bothers us while we drive. You and I also think we're the best drivers out there and we probably don't irritate other drivers on the road. The truth is, we're not! Everyone has at least one pet peeve that just irks you while you're on the road.

Online, people are mentioning their biggest pet peeves and the the term "NICEHOLES" is being tossed around. Basically it's people who think they're "nice" but actually dangerous on the roads.

Examples included people who are "Nice' people who stop in the middle of the roundabout to allow others to enter." Or, "Stopping on a road randomly to let someone in oncoming traffic turn in front of them." Or, what about "Waving people through a four-way stop when it's really you turn to go through it!"

These are just a few examples of what would cause people to get upset when driving. But that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to driving pet peeves!

If you don't follow the rules of the road, it can be dangerous to other drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and even yourself. On person even said, "Don't be polite...be predictable" which is probably the best advice when on the road!

We have more on this story and more in today's edition of a Few Things You Should Know!

Here's a list of the top five pet peeves people mentioned while driving!

The number one pet peeve when driving...when people hold up everyone by trying to make a left turn at a time where it's nearly impossible to make. Or to make the matter worse, there's a sign that say's "Right Turn Only!" This drives people crazy! And understandably so!

Those drivers who just dart out of nowhere from a side street or parking lot. Those people are not only a pet peeve, their the ones who cause accidents if they're not paying attention. What makes people more furious is when they cut you off, then drive way slower than you were driving! Fuel to the fire!

Just a random driving pulling out in front of you can already be a pet peeve, but what makes it more of a peeve is when someone pulls out in front of you, when there's a HUGE gap behind you. There's not traffic behind you, yet that person felt the need to pull out in front of you and cut you off! That is the third pet peeve!

This is a huge pet peeve for a lot of people because you're in the right lane inching up to see around the car in the left lane, to make a legal right turn. When they inch up, it stops you from seeing around them. JUST STAY PUT!

When you're going up an on-ramp, the last thing you want is someone who is driving slow! You're going up an incline, which means you need to accelerate more to get up the incline or hill. People online said this is a peeve of theirs because it backs up tracking behind you. Do you agree with this one?
