Drive to Prom in Safety...

As prom approaches one thing you should take into deep considerations is your driving situation. As a kid, you always think you’re invincible; nothing bad is every going to happen to you, right? Well as you get older, you will start to realize that is not true. When it comes to driving, teens love to put their foot to the metal and test all limits possible. Offend this leads to speeding, weaving in and out of traffic, and racing. As a teenage, you usually feel like you have to prove yourself in order for your peers to think you’re cool or something; having this mentality offend leads to showing off, this can sometime result in death. Not all accidents involve drugs or alcohol; sometimes you’re just in the wrong place at the wrong time. With prom just around the corner, I think it a great idea for teens to invest in renting out a limo for night, especially if your prom is far away. If you have about five couples riding together, this option can be pretty inexpensive and well worth it. However, you decide to get to prom, always remember to buckle up!
