Wait... you're 16...

How come you get to drive a car?

How old do you have to be in England? Around here it's 14 and 9 months oto get your permit, 15 to take the test, 16 to get your restricted license (can't drive alone between midnight and 5 am) and 17 for unrestricted. It may be different in other areas, but that's the law in Michigan.

You have to be 17 in England to start learning (provisional license).

Just curious...

Alright, I have four (once had eight) bumper stickers on my truck. They are as follows from the left to the right (one of which you DO NOT see):

-"Les Claypool for President"

-"You May Say That I'm a Dreamer But I'm Not the Only One"

-"All Gods Fail"

-"The Reason That We Start A War Is To Fight A War, Win A War And Therefore Cause No More War. -George W. Bush"

On my back window I used to have a SHAG cat, A Perfect Circle emblym, an anarchy symbol which was right next to a peace sign.

Yup.

Booya.

Cuddlefish is... mighty.

Really?

In Texas, you can get your permit as soon as you're fifteen. With a permit, you can only drive with a licensed adult in the front seat (21 and older). Then, you must have your permit for a minimum of 6 months and be sixteen to get your license. For the first six months you have your license, you can only drive your immediate family and one other non-related person. After that I think all restrictions are removed.

In Colorado you can get your permit at 15, if you're enrolled in Driver's Ed. If not, you have to wait until 15 1/2. At 16 you get your liscence. No restrictions.

Oh Tess I'm so sorry about Cuddlefish! I don't know what I'd do if Tsuki bit it...
