A provisional license doesn't have that bad restrictions [Why would you ever need to drive at 3 in the morning?]

The driver's licenses are distributed by each state, so it varies from state to state how strict or not a state is. Maryland seems quite strict about its licensing system. In Maryland, if you have a provisional, you can't drive from 12 am to 5 am unless it is an emergency (hospital visit or other excuse). For the first five months, you can't drive someone that is under 21 and not a direct (immediate) family member. If you do have someone that is 21 or over, you can drive anywhere at anytime with anyone. Also, if you get one moving violation, you have to take driver's ed all over again. That seems pretty strict to me. The biggest problem to me is the zero tolerance policy, but it does scare people into being safe while driving.

New Jersey does what I mentioned earlier for a provisional. It is not very strict compared to some other states, but I think it's pretty strict. I don't even have a provisional yet, though, so I'm not concerned about that for the time being. I've waited for no reason really, one of the only people who will be turning 17 very soon and hasn't so much as gotten their permit yet. Main reason is that there's nowhere to practice, and I would rather get some practice in before taking Behind the Wheel and the Road Test. This town is so over-congested that practicing isn't great, and empty parking lots aren't much of a subsitution for real driving situations. I was going to practice during my trips in New England, but the rain was so bad that I decided not to.

One of my friends already has a provisional and a car, being one year younger than I am and due to my wait plus the different age requirements in MA vs NJ.

18. 19 in July.

Hannibal · 02-13-2006, 03:24 PM

I'm 15 and a half, July 1st I turn 16. My parents are saying that I can drive whenever I want, and that it would cost such and such amount of money insurance for ME (

) but I don't think it's worth it. I would prefer to spend the $800 a year on something that I would use. A license would only make it more convenient for them, not me, as everywhere I currently go my parents just take me. My having a license would mean they would spend less time driving, like when I drive to the store or such. So I'll wait to get a license until they are willing to pay the insurance.

I'm currently seventeen, and will become eighteen on the ninth of november.

And I didn't use one number key.

Silence · 05-02-2006, 03:49 PM

I'm 14. I don't think there was much need to post this, but since everybody else has, maybe it's okay.

Maybe we should just post our birth years. That way, you have to do less math to find out the age of people in the current year. Yes, it's not that hard, but still

joannaardway · 07-06-2006, 04:43 AM

Fine, as silentguy has suggested, I'm posting my DOB.

9/11/1988

^ That's the UK date form dd/mm/yyyy - so the ninth of november as the post two above says - not the 11th of september.

On my first birthday, the berlin wall was torn down. Lots of important historical events have occured on the 9th of nov. Mostly to do with the second world war in one way or another.

Silence · 07-06-2006, 05:12 PM

And it would be equally appropriate for me to post my own birthyear now...1991. Let me just say that I was born two days before m15399...

Alberio-Zomada · 06-21-2007, 02:57 PM

Silence · 06-29-2007, 10:38 PM

Those smilies just don't exist. The only ones, as far as I know, are in the editing page. Looks like you need the letter "o" and not the number "0", too, but it still shouldn't load any image.

solar00 · 07-06-2007, 07:04 PM

Ooops,

I guess i'm extremely old compared to the average age on this forum, so telling that i'm >21 should be enough.

I my highschool period there were only simple squirt guns and piston pressure guns.
When the first CPS's appear in the stores i already was too old for it.(i thought) althought i wanted to buy them because of their size.

But years later i decided i had to make up for this and started the search for CPS guns (after i bought a CPS2100 just for fun).

Monsoon · 07-06-2007, 09:08 PM

Right now I'm 17, I can't belive I didn't post that on my birthday

Specter · 07-07-2007, 12:44 AM

im 16. going to be 17 in nobember. im probably around average age of people on here...

Fire-Water · 08-02-2007, 03:00 PM

I'm fifteen now, sixteen in September. I probably need to get a job, instead of talking about water guns on the internet.
