Her school is busy this summer, but she said restrictions on 16 and 17 year old drivers are prompt ing many teens to wait until they are According18.to the Connecticut State DMV Center for Teen Safe Driving, 16 and 17-yearolds can’t get their license until they have had their driv er’s permit for at least four months. They also have to complete an eight hour Safe Driving Practices class, a two hour parent/legal guardian training and 40 hours of prac tice driving. Once they obtain their license after passing a road test and vision test, 16 and 17-year-olds can’t drive alone with friends their own age for a year and can’t drive between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. “I think you are seeing some students waiting until they are 18 so they can just drive without restrictions,” Stanley Insaid.Connecticut, the number of teens getting their learn er’s permit has mostly stayed even in recent years, about 25,000 per year, said Tony Guerrera, deputy commis sioner of the state Depart ment of Motor Vehicles. However, he did notice a slight dip in 2020 when 23,693 teens received a learn er’s permit. “People were scared to get in to vehicles with other people because of COVID,” Guerrera Thesaid.number of licensed 18year-olds in the country has decreased from 80.4% in 1983 to 61% in 2018, according to Statista. The number of li censed 16-year-olds has gone down as well. In 1983, 46.2% of 16-year-olds were li censed, but in 2018, only 25.6% of this age group had their driver’s license. Cynthia Luca, owner of EZLern Driving School in Meri den, said the cost of driving is prompting some teens to “wait.Getting a license, that’s not the major cost,” Luca said.

“It’s what happens when you get the license. The automo bile, the gas, the insurance.”

Luca said that she has seen an increase in students be tween the ages of 19 and 21. Older students only have to take an eight hour course. “They come in, they have some driving experience,” Luca said. “We’re just more or less checking them out, making sure that they are ready to take a test …” Brandon Dufour, founder and chief executive officer of The Next Street driving school, said the number of 16 and 17 year old driving stu dents has steadily decreased over the past 10 years. Next Street has locations through out New England, including in Wallingford, Southington and Cheshire.

“The access to social media and ability for young adults to communicate without hav ing to be together makes a car and license less needed,” Du four Guerrerasaid.said teens now have many more transportation options, including Uber and “Lyft.Things that weren’t avail able like ten years ago,” Guer rera said. “I think they could be waiting (to drive) a little bit longer and just not con cerned about it because they are able to get to point A and point B through different modes of transportation.”

From A8 Teen drivers $10,000 to have a baby if you are uninsured or un derinsured; if there were universal day care, so mothers could continue their schooling or careers after their baby was born and maintain their earning potential; if the minimum wage were raised to a true living wage level so that a single mother with no skills could afford to support her family on her own - these would absolutely reduce the number of abortions sought. Instead, this ruling has determined that wom en with the resources or support who want an abor tion will still be able to get one, albeit cost them more; and women and their fami lies without, will be either seeking potentially unsafe alternatives, illegal alterna tives, or be subscribed to a continuing spiral of poverty that will be ever harder to escape from - for them selves and the children they are being forced to Ihave.don't believe pro-life

The Flood Law Firm, which is based in Waterbury, posted on its website that the three types of crashes that teen drivers get in the most are rear-end collisions, road de partures and left-turn colli Moresions.than 68% of all teen crashes are caused by dis tracted driving. Drivers be tween the ages of 16 and 19 are three times more likely to be in a car accident than someone 20 and over. However, in Connecticut, drivers between the ages of 21 and 25 are more at risk of being in a fatal crash. The percentage for this age group is 12.95%, while the percent age for 16 to 20 is 7.95%, ac cording to statistics posted on The Flood Law Firm’s website, which cites data from the Connecticut Crash Data Repository.

While the change in student demographics hasn’t impact ed revenue, Dufour said Next Street has had to change its curriculum to better suit old er students. “Teaching a 22 year old re quires a different approach than teaching a 16 year old, and so we are constantly evolving our curriculum and our staff training...” Dufour said. Driving safety Ira Caplan, co-owner of Lib erty Driving School in Meri den, said the lack of younger students has not changed the way he teaches. However, he has made his students more aware of the dangers of reck less driving. “There’s more reckless drivers out there right now,” Caplan said. “I think due to COVID there were less peo ple on the road and people were driving worse without any consequences.

A good insurance policy can reduce the financial impact of an adverse event, mitigate fi nancial losses, provide sta bility, and, offer some peace of mind during difficult Sometimes.insurance coverage is deemed so important, it’s mandated by law. But there is also lesser-known insur ance coverage worth explor ing. Consider these optional coverages to trade uncer tainty for financial protec tion. Homeowner riders. If you have a mortgage, homeown er insurance is required. A basic homeowner policy provides standard reim bursement after a deductible for approved claims due to theft or damage to your property, dwelling, personal possessions, and liability. Such coverage, however, may not be sufficient. If you have valuable art or jewelry in your home, a rider can ensure appropriate reim bursement if these items are stolen or damaged. Consider a rider to offset the liability of owning a swimming pool or trampoline, for example. Other common riders cover water damage, identity restoration, and business as sets (if you conduct business in your home). Renters insurance. If your personal property is stolen or damaged at a rented house or apartment, you may be out of luck unless you carry your own renters insurance. Look for a policy that includes liability cover age, which provides financial protection in case someone gets hurt at your rented resi dence. Travel insurance. You may want to explore travel insur ance before an international trip. A policy that covers un expected cancellations is re assuring when planning an expensive vacation with non-refundable reservations.

Lara Hajek, a breast cancer survivor, has been a model for ArtBra since 2018. She said it’s an experience like no other because it pushes her out of her comfort zone. “I don’t even wear a bikini to the beach,” she said. “So you’ve got to wear these amazing art bras and you just walk the runway and have fun with it.”

By Cris Record-JournalVillalonga-Vivonistaff SOUTHINGTON Cheers and hollers erupted from guests at the ArtBra Fundraiser hosted by After the Storm Inc. as the first model came strutting down the runway in a bra and skirt outfit inspired by the Roman huntress “Diana.”

The outfit was completed with a toy bow and arrow and the model posed at the end of the walkway, even go ing as far as pointing her toy weapon at audience mem bers. She continued enter taining the crowd as the auc tioneer began. “This isn’t an art bra. It’s an art outfit,” he exclaimed while enticing au dience members to raise the bidding, which soon reached a winning bid of $550. All the bras were created and donated by local artists. From a purple unicorn bra to a bra with working toy he licopter fans, the elaborate, wearable art was inspired by the strength and courage of cancer survivors. As the night went on, the bra bids went higher and higher.

She appeared stunned by the victory when she ap peared before a cheering crowd of supporters in her hometown of Greenwich. “We’re making history here. It’s really exciting,” she said. Levy thanked Trump for last week’s promising,endorsement,“Iwillnot let you down. Thank you for having my Klarides,back.”who supports abor tion rights and certain gun control measures, told her supporters that she had called to congratulate Levy, who ran TV ads accusing the veteran state legislator of “not being one of us.” Levy and Lumaj, who both op pose abortion rights, had ar gued that a conservative candidate was needed to de feat Democratic U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal in KlaridesNovember.argued her moder ate positions on issues like abortion would persuade Connecticut voters in the general election to oust Blu menthal, who has been in office since 2011. She fo cused her campaign heavily on economic issues, includ ing inflation and gas prices. Levy, 65, came with her fam ily from Cuba to the U.S. in 1960. Her grandfather was president of the VertientesCamaguey Sugar Company in Havana. She graduated from Brown University in 1978 and worked in the fi nancial industry, including as a commodities trader at Philbro Salomon. She was a relative unknown when she first jumped into the race. Lumaj said Tuesday night Trump’s late endorse ment “absolutely” affected the contest and gave Levy the advantage. “This is a huge victory for President Trump in our state,” he told WTNH in an interview from a restaurant in Norwich where his sup porters gathered. “That changed everything. The pri mary voters have spoken. They still support the presi dent regardless of who the endorsed candidate is.” Connecticut hasn’t elected a Republican to the U.S. Sen ate since Lowell P. Weicker Jr., who served from 1971 to Art1989.Shilosky, a Republican and former first selectman of Colchester, said he doesn’t believe that nominating a candidate endorsed by Trump would finally end that drought for the GOP. He also questioned whether Trump’s endorsement would help Levy. “No, I don’t think that’sa good mix,” Shilosky said out side a polling place where he voted for Klarides. “I think the Republicans in the state of Connecticut are more moderate than he (Trump) is. He’s too far out. People don’t relate to that. I don’t.” See Primary, A17 shop for fun, personalized necklace ties, bow ties, and pocket squares to fit any occasion or style!

Around the time Rapini left the group, the State Election En forcement Commission dis From A14 Primary missed most of the com plaints, calling the them a “waste of the limited investi gatory resources of the Com mission.” Wood has also expressed support for new voter ID laws in Connecticut.
