you have to be 16 to get you L, to get it you need to passs a written test. many restrictions, adult in car at all times, 1 passenger at most, can't drive alte at night, 0 tolerance for booze, and more now probaly (its been 4 years, and i've had my full for 2)
6 months later youc an get you N, 30 min roadtest that tests alo, pretty easy to pass but also easy to fail. they check for all sorts of thigns like shoudler checking, stop pos, and rules of the road. less restrctions but still a few, limit on non family members in car with out aldut, still 0 toler for drinking, and i think thats it
18 months later (i think they changed the regs rescently) you can get your full. 45 min roadtest.
and yea, +5/+10 plates would be sooo awsome! i'd take any course reqed to get em lol
see www.icbc.com the only car insurance corp in BC for the most part, so they force things like this on drivers, and they also use their accident data to get the goverment to improve roads, change laws, and many other things, and the rates aren't all that bad, in you have few/no accidents you can get upto a 40% discount:)
YOUR the fool driveing that fast in thick fog, if you couldn't see theings pass you on the side of the road, you shouldn't have even been doing 70mph...
i assumed proper driveing cond in my post, a dry road, clear night, 3AM with very few people on the road, being able to see infront of you forever with plenty of stopping space.
i would never fucking go that fast in the fog, and i always check my speed, you call me a fool and a jerk when if i was in that situation i wouldn't have been going as fast, or not bothered to check my speed. fog is fucking dangerous, i'd never go more then ~80km in think fog like you describe, and never in my life go 110.
also the fool who borke down in the middle 2 lanes is at fault, theres a shoulder for a reason... why the fuck didn't he pull over??? after you breakdown or get into an accident is you do not block traffic for ANY reason.
What I'M saying is you drive to the situation, if its raining and wet if course you dont' go that fast, but if its clear and dry? feel free. See an onramp, with cars on it? slow down or move to the left lane, Have a crappy car with bad braks? don't drive so fast. Have one with great breaks and handleing? go faster. a sports car with good disc brakes can stop fucking fast or if it has good tires and handleing steer around things. But some crappy 1980 camaro will stop like shit.
DRIVE SMART. speed isn't stupid, speeding at the wrong times is, and its because most ppl are STUPID AND FOOLISH we have the low speed limits we have now, and "slow zones" on the highways
i wish people wre more properly trained to drive cars... getting better here with a graduated system, much harder tests, but theres all the 20+ year olds who never went through that.
"Never drive two-footed" auto is for wimps:P stick all the way!
well i kinda is, i had 4 accidents in 2 years, none of them my fault, 2 ppl backed into me in parking lots, 2 people rear ended me because they were plain bad drivers (what can i do when i'm stopped at a red light?)
then i had 1 accident that was my fault because of they way the insurance companies do things, person infront of me stopped suddenly and before i could stop i rear ended them going 15km/h.... if you rearend someone your always at fault.
9,000 $$ in damages to my car, other car 0$, SUV vs sports, sports car loses, carinsurance company covered all but 300, air bags didn't go off, and i drove the car home, i'm actualy proud of that one lol
and you know something, SUV owners should pay alot more bceause SUVs are dangerous cars and usualy driven by dangerous ppl!!!
how about left lane is the fast lane and the right lane is the slower lane!!
there for slow traffic that isn't passing anyone stays in the right while faster stays in the left.
in fact thats what the law is here i belive. but the problem is the ppl who are sloooooowly passing, as in they take 5 min to pass 1 car because they are going almost the exact same speed:(
going the speed limit can cause traffic to backup... the posted speed limit is rarely the speed most drivers go.
useing that logic we should never go above 10km/h bceause it could result in higher damage to property and people. Let us close down all the highways! Hell airtravel MUST be stopped! a jet goes to fast to be safe!!
that kind of logic is flawed in discussions like this, speed by itself is irelevent. Its the situation one is in that should determin the speed limit. but unfortunaly most people are to stupid to have laws like that.
yea, sure, but first lets make some reasonable speed limits and traffic laws first, theres a reason why so many people always go faster then the posted limit.
how fast someone drives is NO indication of how safe a driver they are. Whats so bad about driveing on a 3 lane highway at 3AM at 160km/h with maybe 2 cars in sight also doing 130+???
why is doing a rolling stop so bad when you can clearly see theres no cars comming or they arn't close to the stopsign yet so you don't have to stop?
Yet you can have someone doing exactly the speed limit (50) when EVERYONE else, even the cops, are doing 70 and causeing many poeple to get frustrated, mad and pass them, and this is very likly to cause an accident or road rage. Thats a dangerous driver yet in the eyes of the law they are in the right.
i agree, i speed, do rolling stops if no ones waiting at the intersection, even treat red lights as stopsigns late at night.
But i NEVER tailgate and i HATE it when people tailgate me. its stupid. Speeding isn't dangerous if you do it safely, as in don't do stupid things like tailgate!!
1 liners are bad, but 100 page laws are alwso bad.
laws as they stand are to complex. i'ml sure the parent was exagerateing with the 1 liner but you get the idea.
something like murder could be easily and complety defined within a paragraph and then posted on the web for all to look up and UNDERSTAND, no lawyer lingo, no "interprete the law exactly as its worded"
Of course not! he would just put linux on some computer and save the company even mroe $$$!
I do not belive for a second 1 windows 2003 server box could run a large companies IT department, and if so its pretty stupid, no redundancy (windows or otherwise for a large company you need that) and i assume it was a large company, with millions of $$$!
In fact its more likely to happen when going from whatever -> linux then whatever -> windows, linux is free and only cost is setup with minimal matinance, windows is licenceing costs setup cost maintaing costs
and while i think your post was trying to be funny someone modded it insightfull so bah! lol
This is true, you dont' have the right to deprive someone of their property... but downloading music isn't depriveing them of their property, or even money if you wern't going to by it in the first place.
Only reason RIAA cares is they want controle and its an ego/pride thing.
if the price of the milkshake was to high and i could somehow copy the milkshake with a replicator or something THEN you could compare that to downloading music.
for gods sake, ITS NOT THE SAME THINGm ITS NOT THEFT.

"Never drive two-footed" auto is for wimps:P stick all the way!
i was pointing out how stupid you logic of 25mph is better then 35mph because it'll cause less damage...
no to mention "microsoft sheilds the customers from the 500 million judgement"
the customers paid microsoft that much in the first place so they are paying for it....
