<div class="IPBDescription">Caboose has a license!</div> I'm just got back from the DMV and am now a licensed driver in the state of Colorado.

With just over 3 months till my 18th birthday, I'm still sort of PO'd at my mom for making me wait this long...

But yea, now I may be able to get a job since my transportation is no longer limited to the bus. There's still the matter of a car though...

Someone give me a car!

    Ask Flayra, he might let you have the BUS.

    EDIT: Yeah, don't do stupid things. Like picking up a girl on the street and then realising its Dubbilex.

    I got my license just after my 18th birthday (...lazy), and I still almost never use it. I figure: if it's within 5 miles, you might as well walk there (unless you need to get there quicker - then just find someone to drive you), otherwise, feel free to take a car.


    Of course, maybe I don't like driving because to quote Will Smith in Men in Black I would have to "drive around in a Ford POS."

    Bah don't complain, here in Finland you can't even get a licence until you're 18. Although knowing what the major part of my peers are like, I do understand the reasons for that <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Yeah, same thing in France. Americans have it all backwards... Driving before you can drink? Voting before you can drink?? Ah well...

    Anyway, where do you live in Colorado? I'm in Colorado Springs for college...

    You'd rather have drunken drivers and intoxicated voters?

    In Australia, if your birthday is election day, you can pop down to the bottle shop and pick up some hard liquor before you move on to deciding the country's leader.

    Drive+Sex = 16 (with supervision), 17 without. That's the driving part, you understand.
    Grog+Vote = 18

    No. The point is that since alcohol isn't such a big deal people are generally responsible with drinking before they can drive. Turning 21 is such a big deal in the US, its rediculously overblown. My parents let me drink wine when I was 8...

    Well, legally the drinking age is 21...

    "Junior and senior high school students drink 35 percent of all wine coolers sold in the U.S.; they also consume 1.1 billion cans of beer!" from some crappy source I found on google <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> But knowing other Juniors and Seniors just from my school, I wouldn't doubt that that statement is true.

    I don't have a car though, so my license is no good <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Being intoxicated younger might crack some sense into some of them <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> . Smoking should be 21, drinking should be 18. In fact, if I remember right: States can have a drinking age of as low as 18, but they wouldn't recieve funding for roads or something.


    ...maybe that's the speed limit under 65 thing.


    ...I forget.



    Anyway: don't drink anywhere that's close to machines <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> .
