In order to drive safely, you need to be able to see and hear well enough to detect potential hazards and handle emergency situations.
Your license means that:
Being a negligent driver may cause you the loss, suspension, or revocation of your drivers license.
Your license tells other drivers that:
Be aware that the other drivers are subjected to your driving habits and behavior. Other drivers and pedestrians will expect that you will follow the laws and rules of the road, be courteous, and will not be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or otherwise be impaired, while you are driving.
If you act as a negligent or irresponsible driver, death or injury may occur to you or others.
If you are a minor, and act negligently and irresponsibly, your parents may be held liable for your actions. The parents of a teen are financially liable for their teen drivers actions.
