Yup, they don't let 16-year olds drive here, also (although they may drink and smoke :/ ). It's 18 for a license.

Wow... that sounds... logical!
As opposed to saying 16 year old kids are responsible enough to get behind the wheel of a two ton rolling machine of death, but they aren't responsible or grown up enough to smoke cigarettes for 2 more years and drinking is out of the question for 5 more years...

It's only a two ton rolling death machine if you're a s**tty driver. Luckily, they came up with a brilliant solution known as a test to weed those ones out. On the other hand, cigarettes and booze are bound to kill you.

Plus, if someone wants to drink or smoke, the age restriction isn't going to get in their way. I've smoked plenty of things and drink all the time, but it's still 1 month before I can get behind the wheel.

I think that US drivers are known to be rather cautious compared to Europeans (outside spectacular police chases, that is <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif"> ).

I take it you've never driven in the US?
Even more reckless than our drivers, are our bicyclists. I'm sure Orph can tell you more than one tale of a bicyclist with a death wish.

I dunno about nationwide, but the cyclist around here have death wishes.

Walking a bike across the street.. NO f**kING WAY.

I have seen more cyclist run red lights than cars.

It's because a lot of cyclists think traffic laws don't apply to them while they're on the road... I mean why would they?

Whats funny, at least to my warped sense of justice, is I got this towbar permanently attached to my front bumper. Many cyclist clip it by riding across the road while I am stopped at a red light.

I just roll with fits when the get off on the other side looking at their shins. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/rofl.gif">

Yeah, I get all broken up cause they got a booboo.

My dad is one of those crazy cyclists. He's been in three accidents so far, and has a steel rod in his leg curtesy of the last. He's still riding.

I'm actually thinking that once I've paid off my loan for the Focus, I might look into picking up a project car, probably a 1976 Holden Monaro GTS if I can find one. That is of course assuming Australia hasn't turned into a Mad Max-esque post apocalyptic world where petrol is the most highly prized item.

On second thought if that was to happen a Holden Monaro GTS would be a must have item <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">.
