Solice Kirsk posted:At the very end of my driving test I parked and the instructor and I were about to get out when another person taking her test rear ended us in the parking lot. Her instructor got out, asked if we were ok, and then just bluntly looked at the horrified girl and said, "Well, you did really well up until you failed." I felt really bad for her. Taking my sister to get her license, the lady in front of us gunned her Taurus and perched it atop one of those parking curbs where it balanced, wheels just touching the ground, but not quiet enough traction to get itself off. These stories are far more interesting now that you can take pictures when it happens. HEY NONG MAN posted:Rush hour on the freeway means you're going 20 miles an hour around here so that seems pretty safe to me. The tail end of rush hour (6:30). Still lots of volume, but she hit 70 mph. My first thought was that scene from Clueless.

Once again I'm really glad to live in the UK, for all it's sins it's one of the safest countries in terms of traffic incidents in the world, and I still see cars upside down at the side of the road on a regular basis.

I remember being 16 and thinking I was a really good driver.  You shouldn't be able to drive until you're 18 at least.I realize this entails a lot of logistics and that 16 year olds need to get places and that this would probably disproportionately impact people of color and poor people. I'm just saying if we had better public transportation, etc.

And by 'short', I mean you'd better be drinking it the same day it comes from the cow. Lactose tolerance is a rare genetic mutation that should be wiped out by fire and steel if necessary.

I see multiple cars without lights in the pre-dawn darkness every day. Lane changes are rarely signaled, not even by police vehicles. I guess the Schadenfreude is me for getting mad at US drivers.

Maybe counts as some 'freude, there used to be a guy at one of my past jobs who was one of those "all natural" types - did a lot of his own gardening, had a chicken coop and I think his dad owned a farm. Dumbass got sick several times when he'd bring fresh farm milk in from a day before that barely got refrigerated and drink it through the day. We'd even find jars of curdled milk and witnessed him on at least one occasion opening the jar, sniffing, then closing and putting back in the fridge  Then again he quit because he was incompetent and on the verge of being fired, so yeah.

SLOSifl posted:When my youngest brother turned 16, I was shocked (while nodding in agreement) with the restrictions he faced. I got my license in like 5 minutes and was a full blown unrestricted driver. My permit required nothing other than a class and a few watchings of Red Asphalt. I drove my dad's manual transmission truck around the neighborhood a few times in that year. Then it was like "okay, drive around the block and just leave the car anywhere. Great get out there champ you passed with a 1/1 here's a license" on my sixteenth birthday. My brother recently moved to Biloxi and his driving test was basically "Drive around this circle without hitting anything. Okay, you passed." Not even a parking test, let alone driving on a road. Chances are that you're driving past a ton of unlicensed drivers, though: an estimated 2.6% of drivers don't have valid licenses, but 18.2% of fatal crashes from 2000 to 2009 involved an unlicensed driver and a very high proportion of drivers who are DUI or flee the scene of the crash are unlicensed. Turns out that taking away or suspending licenses from alcoholics doesn't exactly keep them from driving after half a bottle of scotch.

Well, nothing was going to stop them anyway in many cases. I guess at least this way it makes it possible to load on a bunch more years to their prison sentence if they survive the crash. A guy in Australia had his licence revoked and he's been banned from driving until 2092 but he's been charged for driving without a licence a further 28 times. He's been chucked in jail several times, had several other sentences suspended and had warrants issued on him when he's failed to show up to court but he just won't stop driving. http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/ne...72e51d3ae00b4f2

There was a guy in my high school who was borderline retarded (like, legit he was developmentally disabled) who took a right on a red in a "no right on red intersection" He passed the driving test. I really wish it wasn't racist to ask for more strict requirements for getting a driver's license, but realistically all that means is more unlicensed drivers which sucks.

My state has a graduated driver's license system, with different levels available at age 14, 16, and 18. I waited until I was 23 and received my full license right away because being over 18 makes you a good driver, even though I had never driven a car outside of a video game before. I commented that the test way a lot easier than I was expecting and they openly told me that the test was meant to be nearly impossible to fail, since they knew that people were going to drive no matter what and they might as well collect the licensing fees and have everyone's info on record.
