QUOTE That's not in affect yet, they're still debating about it. 15 and half is good for a permit, 18 for a licence. 14 to drink  hahha i think age 12 should be the limit for drinking....  hmm... i think 16 or 17...... ppl who are younger tend to be more impatient and speed/cut other drivers off... *ahem like my sister |

Wow its been a while since I've posted in this forum.. it seems to have changed a bit.. but anyways..
QUOTE hahha i think age 12 should be the limit for drinking.... uhuh.. and why's that? QUOTE hmm... i think 16 or 17...... ppl who are younger tend to be more impatient and speed/cut other drivers off... *ahem like my sister Yes, but even then.. see the problem is.. age does not guarantee maturity.. I would agree with you.. around 16-18, because at that age, many teenagers are able to understand the laws and be able to drive.. however, I also advocate some kind of a program.. that teaches them to value life, value safety and drive carefully.. our school has lost 1 senior every year for the past few years due to driving accidents.. my friend nearly ran me over.. 16-18 is old enough to know basic driving principles.. but at that age.. people are reckless.. they think they're invulnerable.. then something happens that shakes them up.. makes them realize otherwise.. we need to induce that something without them actually getting harmed.. like we had this "Every 15 Minutes" program thing at school.. that realli helped.. we need things like that.. the dilemma also lies in.. not setting the age too late in life.. because people need cars as a means of transportation.. as they go onto college.. get jobs.. and they need the experience driving.. |

I think 15. But here in NC it's atleast one year after you had your permit! They start when your 14 1/2 when you can learn to get your permit and I got mine when I was 15 1/2. Ugh!!!! I have to wait 6 more months until I can try to get my license.

thats aprt of it
but if you make the driving test hard, the people who really suck and shouldnt drive anyway won't pass plus you make it like a state EMT certification class..you get 2 chances, then you have to document remedial training to even TRY to retake it |

Well i am from HK(Hong Kong). The legal age is 18. so it hell sucks. But in Hk there are a ton of Mod cars. Tons of Skyline, Evo, Civics and Accord.
In some upper districts, you can find Porche, Lambo, or Ferrari. Bentley is here too. Not maybach. SAD!  The Merc are all good and At least 500,000 In HK. A total rich country. YEA..........SARS! Ford and all the Amercian cars..........all gone here. They suck. Sad that the legal age to drive is 18. I am from boston moved to HK and now i have to wait. In Cali it's 16 i beleive. Luck American. I am Chinese Peace! |

it's fine the way it is.
15 permit, 16 driving. lovely, if you ask me. why? becuase i can drive now, and don't have to bum rides off of people. of course, i need a car to be able to do that, but still... there are massive advantages to being able to drive. |

here, you can get your learners' by taking a written test when you are 16. you must have that for a year, or 9 months if you take driving school before you take your road test then you get your 'N' license which is when you can drive by yourself, but with lots of restrictions. 2 years later, you can take another test to get your full license.

hmm ours is simple. when youre 15 you can get permit if you took drivers ed. then after having it a year you can get your license. so when youre 16. but its only a 5-9, then after 6 months its full. so by the time you're 16 1/2 you could have a full license, which by then i will have

here in tennessee...15 for permit..must have it at least 6 months...then at 16 you get intermediate restricted which has all these rules that no on ever follows..then at 17 (or a year after the restricted) you can get the intermediate unrestricted...then at 18 (or 1 year) you get the regular license.
most people just get the 1st license and keep it until it expires instead of going every year to pay for the next level |
