Which Ride Do You Care For More? (WHS Orange & Black)

There are a lot of comparisons between driving a car and riding on a moped. Students, what do you enjoy doing, driving a car or riding a moped. I guess it depends on if you have gotten your driver's license or permit.

I, myself enjoy riding on my 1996 Yamaha Razz moped (as seen in the picture at left). I bought my moped with my own money after searching for a good, safe moped to ride for six months. I live on Alber Street so I usually ride my moped to the pool or around the school after hours. I have rode my moped all the way to the Wabash City Park. I ride it all the time when it is warm outside and sometimes during autumn. I ride my moped to all the Wabash High School baseball, football, and some basketball games throughout the school year. I enjoy my moped very much and I take pride in taking care of it.

I also do not have my driver's license yet either. I am looking forward to getting my driver's license real soon. I will probably prefer driving a car over riding on my moped once I start driving.

I believe that you learn more from experience. You learn the basics and meanings of street signs if you ride a moped for a few months before you get your driver's license. Believe me when I say this, experience is a good thing. If you make mistake from first experiences, you can learn from them. I made mistakes the first few times riding my moped. I blew a few STOP signs or forgot to sign a few turns when I started riding my moped. I will probably make a few mistakes when I start driving. Hopefully, they won't be big mistakes like wrecking my car or causing a wreck ny my stupidity. I am still looking forward to getting my driver's license anyway regardless of mistakes because I know that I will learn from my mistakes.
