better fuel economy, more efficient power transfer, and you don't have to be a certified technician to confidently crack one open...yup, you can't be a manual transmission speaking of bad drivers, i had a run-in with a hick in his big F250 w/ a trailer today. the road i live on is big enough for two cars to go by each other, and the speed limit is 30 mph. however, coming over a hill on a blind turn while doing approximately 50 mph, this genius decided to drive in the middle of the road. i had to bounce my car up on the shoulder and almost onto the base of a hill next to the road to keep from hitting this ass-screw, and he still missed me by inches. he never even made an attempt to slow down or get in his lane. wish i had gotten his plate number.
yeah coop i agree with you on the driving at 16 maybe it should be 17 or 18 we had two girls here that were driving 95 MPH. and both were killed hitting a tree and three other people were hurt bad too . the girl had her licence TWO DAYS.
if her parents had enforced things a little better, that wouldn't have happened. she would have probably done the same thing at 18
true parenting and proper training equals a better driver, and I'm sure you all are good drivers, I'm not accusing you all of driving reckless, I'm just comparing the way my friends and I were back then as compared to now, our mid-20s. I do beleive that the overall traffic accidents nation wide would definately go down if the driving age was 18.
