Exercise 19
Role Play: I want to drive a car!
•
•
•
•
•
•
Read Alex’s contribution1 and the answers he gets.
Form groups and decide on who takes which role (see below).
Imagine2: After having read the answers to his/her question on the web, A.
decides first to talk to his/her sister/brother and then to his/her parents.
Discuss how the conversation between the four members of the family might
end: Will they reach an agreement3?
Take notes of the arguments you want to use in the conversation.
Practise4 your role play a few times before you present it to the whole group.
Role Cards:
Alex or Alexa Reeves (16)
The conflicts with your parents made you ask for help on the web (cf. p. ). However, you
”forgot” to mention5 one or two further things that caused your parents to distrust6 you.
Sometimes you think that your parents prefer7 your brother / sister to you. In fact, he/she is
not the goody your parents seem to believe8.
David or Debora Reeves (19)
You are A.’s brother / sister. On the one hand you want to support9 A., but on the other hand
you know about what happened in the past. You were allowed to have your own driving
licence when you were 17. Exactly one week later you smashed up10 your parents’ car. It
was not your fault, but you could not prove11 this because it was a hit and run offence12 and
there were no witnesses13.
Peggy Reeves (42)
You are A.’s and D.’s mother and extremely worried14. You just cannot help imagining what
might happen if your youngest child were allowed to drive a car. You think your husband
often drives recklessly. So, whenever you go with him, you prefer to drive yourself.
Roger Reeves (41)
You are A.’s and D.’s father.
You are not as strict as your wife and basically you think it is good to learn driving as early
as possible. On the other hand you do not really trust A. because of what happened in the
past. You enjoy driving fast, but you do not think of yourself as a reckless driver. You are
annoyed15 about your wife’s opinion of you.

answer by Apollyon
If they don't want you to drive then you won't drive. I started driving at 18, and
honestly7 there's really no difference other than your parents telling you when you can
drive....Besides8, I highly doubt9 you have a job to pay for your own gas and
insurance.
BTW10, try going to Driving School first, you get a discount11 that way.
•
answer by Lauren
uhhh , thats kinda a tuffyy12 :/
uhh make a list of allll the reasons why it would be helpful to them an not just
youreself to get it now.
i meann pretty much they dont have to take you anywhere you could go pickup or do
stuff13 for them if youre willing.
maybeee you could do a curfew14 thing with them for a while so they earn youre
trust15 an no youre basically not out just getn drunk.
hope i helpeddd.

answer by Charlene Webb
you shouldn't have any privileges if you are the young and have been drinking. you
should have to get a job and pay for everything yourself, that will teach you to be
responsible. I think if they let you drive now you would drink and drive. you are a
terrible child and deserve to get beat

by matcat92
well cuz they think u might go to parties. but they r looking out for u so u wont get in
trouble. im going to start driving here to and 16 yrs old too.

by LIvestro
My parents didn't let me drive until I was 18. I hated them for it then, but I get it now.
You said you have had some drinking problems in the past... You might be over it
right now. But if you had your license, the opportunity1 and temptation2 to drink or
party will be 100 times what it is now. If you have given your parents reason3 to doubt
you in the past, You have an uphill4 battle5 gaining6 their trust. They might trust you at
the moment7 because they know where you are, who you're with, etc. But throw a car
in the mix and they have no idea where you are and what you are doing. They
probably8 just don't trust that you'll make the right decisions9 when you have so many
more opportunities to make mistakes. Oh, and your insurance won't be higher because
of your age, it's based on the number of years experience10 you have driving. So if you
start driving at 18, your bill11 won't go down until you are 23 rather than 21 if you start
driving now. And it's not a huge12 difference until you are 25 anyway, that's when
insurance companies consider13 you a "mature" driver. Meaning 90% of mistakes
made due to inexperience or being young and careless are out of the way by the age of
25. IF you take a driving class outside of school or what's required14 in your state, your
rates15 will be much better. Oh and keep up your grades... insurance companies have
discounts for good grades, responsible16 students are generally responsible drivers!

Joy Riding1

By Nancy Wride, November 09, 2004
The three youths killed in a Compton joyriding crash died of multiple traumatic injuries, a Los
Angeles County coroner's office spokesman said Monday as schools announced the news to their
classmates.
"The principal called me this morning from Verbum Dei High School and told me they'd gathered in
the chapel for a prayer for Derrius," said Donetta Johnson, whose 15-year-old son died in the crash.
Derrius Johnson had recently transferred from the Catholic school in Watts to Westchester High,
which also announced his death over the public address system.
"It was nice that they remembered him," she said. "He was a sweetheart everyone liked."
Also killed in the crash were Clydnesha Lindsey, 12, and Ricky Ward, 13. All three victims were from
Compton.
An investigation will continue this week into how the driver -- a pajama-clad 13-year-old girl -- was
able to get her mother's car keys, and whether she had taken the four-door white Mazda on previous
joyrides, as several friends reported.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Sgt. Ralph Miller said Monday that a decision on whether to file criminal
charges against the driver or her mother was not expected until late this week, when the results of the
probe would be presented to the district attorney's office.
"The traffic investigator on the case is not in today," Miller said, "so nothing is likely to happen before
Friday."
The collision occurred about 6:20 p.m. Saturday after several youths had gathered for a slumber party
at one of their homes, said authorities, who reported that at least two of the victims were wearing
pajamas.
The Mazda crossed over the center line of Alondra Boulevard, authorities said, and the passenger side
was broadsided by a black SUV.
The driver of the Mazda, who was not named because she is a juvenile involved in a potential criminal
case, suffered minor neck pain; two other passengers sustained a broken arm and a broken leg, Miller
said. The driver and a passenger in the SUV were not seriously injured.
Miller, who was among the deputies at the scene of the crash, said some of the youths were not
wearing seat belts, including Clydnesha, who was ejected from the car. She landed on a wrought iron
fence, said deputies and residents near the crash site.

An internet article:
Bicyclist Hurt2 in Hit-and-Run Accident
Updated: Monday, 03 Aug 2009, 1:41 PM CDT
Published : Monday, 03 Aug 2009, 1:41 PM CDT
Police are looking for the driver and vehicle involved3 in a hit-and-run crash4 which severely5
injured6 a west suburban7 man as he rode a bicycle Sunday night.
At about 10:50 p.m. Sunday, Aurora, police responded8 to the 800 block of Ridgeway
Avenue, about 1/4-mile west of Woodlawn Avenue, after a 911 call reported a man lying on
the side of the road.
Officers found that the 52-year-old man had been on a bicycle when he suffered9 serious
injuries to his legs and head after being struck10 by a car, according to11 a release12 from
police.
The victim, who was airlifted13 to a suburban hospital after receiving initial treatment at an
Aurora hospital, told police he did not remember what happened, the release said.
Traffic investigators14 responded to the scene and recovered15 some evidence16, but as of
noon Monday, the car and driver had not been identified. Anyone who witnessed17 the
accident or has information that will assist in locating18 the offender19, is asked to call police
at (630) 801-6610 or Aurora Area Crime Stoppers at (630) 892-1000.

Find more articles about hit and run accidents on the internet.
Have you (or friends, or members1 of your family) ever been involved in a hit
and run accident?
Have you ever been in a situation where you would have liked to run away or,
in fact, did run away (maybe2 because you did something wrong3, or
damaged4 someone else’s property5, or felt ashamed6)?
Bob Marley’s song Running Away deals with7 the topic8 of ’running away’ in a
more general9 or, maybe, different10 way …

Making a Board Game1
•
•
•
•
Search2 for and choose a template3 on the net or bring along an old board to be used.
The websites below may be helpful. There are a lot more!
Think of and write down the rules4 of the game.
Some squares5 / points have numbers. and when a player lands there, he/she has to
do what is stated6 on the card that goes with it.
(e.g.7: Your parents do not allow8 you to do your driving licence – go back 3 spaces).
Alternatives:
- The cards ask the player to answer a question. He/she misses his/her turn9, i.e.
goes back if he/she does not answer the question correctly (e.g. questions on the
project “Driving Forces”, words connected10 with it, etc).
- The cards contain orders for oral tasks or activities
(e.g.: Talk about your favourite pop group; Impersonate11 a teacher / class-mate.).
Other squares have orders and tell the player what he/she has to do
(e.g.: Go ahead12 two spaces, miss one turn, take the shortcut13, take an extra turn,
etc).
Templates for board games:
Create your own game-board in Microsoft Word or Power Point
(The template below can be downloaded here):
