Title: Yay, I am 16.

And I don't know what to do with it, so I decided to post here and see if you had any suggestions.

I want you to get up, go to your fridge, pick up a beer, drink it in front of your fonebook until you feel the urge to call everyone on it and crank the music up. And everything else should work itself out.

I'm 18. Suck it.

But really, there are several things that occur when you turn 16, depending on state and residence, so assuming you live in America (i'm too lazy to check) and you don't live in a backwards state, you can now get a driver's license, a job, and give consent for acts of sexual gratification ;7

18 in Colorado, but someone over 18 can have consensual sex with someone up to four years younger, even if they're under 18.

That's kinda screwed up. So a 15 yr old can get ****ed by a 19 year old, but if they take it to court, they're both half-right?

No, it's considered alright, mind you, it varies from city to city, too, so it really matters where exactly the 19 yo ****s the 15 yo

i broke in all five laws that evening ,

2: running naked down the road (with my then girlfriend)

3: trying to kiss a police officer (male)

4: resisting arrest

5:  assault (biting the police officer


1+2+3+4+5= 200 hours community service

ok number 3 when stopped by the police after a brisk chase (at which point my girlfreind managed to escape) i was grabbed by a officer iof the law and at this point my drunken action after trying to get the guy too waltz was to kiss him and thus disrespecting an officer of the law

I've always found for those who just turned 18 that their year as an 18 year old passes swiftly to the much better age of 19. When 18, bad things that come uninvited to people seem to always happen.

I'll just take solace in being 24. I enjoy being responsible for the most part anyhow, and my habits haven't really changed ever since i was a teenager, except i go to work everyday along with classes. Then again, i rather enjoy my classes and my easy job as a computer maintenance dude for my university and on my free time.

Have fun being 16, that was the year of my conscious awakening. One girl burned me the wrong way at the time which lead to a conscious awakening which totally made me a better, complicated, and more managed person overall.

Best one was the Christmas we nicked one of the Council decorations off of a Roundabout (to whit, one Self-Illuminating Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer) and drove down the road with him  stuck to the top of the car ;) The Policeman was very understanding, he pulled us over, and all he said, whilst trying not to laugh was 'I think you lads might want to put that back....' :lol:

What makes raves illegal, or is it the stuff that usually goes down at raves which would make them illegal

I'm pretty sure the headline would include some orgy of mass-destruction, underage sex and rioting somewhere as well. -

Raves aren't illegal so much... but there's laws for stuff like that. I don't know. You have to provide x amount of water and have an EMT or something. Etc. Health codes. Fire codes.

A car with no steering wheel but steering handle bars would be cool.

Driving a car is so much easier than it looks. Especially in the US, as all the cars have automatic transimissions and cruise control.

Actually, driving a crappy car is easier than driving a nice one. I'm much more likely to die in a firey crash driving Turambar's car than my mum's.

I thought I did pretty well with the Grand Turismo 4 display at Game On, but then I had selected an automatic transmission, the Isuzu Piazza, and it's not the same as trying the real thing. :p

In my experience its close enough to have taught a few mates how to turn around the car (after taking it for a spin) and park it back in the driveway and cart me off as if nothing happened  :pimp:

Geezus, you guys are like 90% of my friends. Definitely old enough to get a license but not willing to have that kind of independence. I can't imagine actually wanting to have to have parents and other people cart me around. x.x

No, see i am truly independent. I don't have those strings called auto insurance, car company payments or brand loyalty gasoline.

The thing in alaska is that you don't want youth on the road in winter. Many don't know how to correct the steering when slipping on ice. A youth driving on a slippery road is most likely to crash because of panic because they didn't try straightening out with differential steering techniques.

Most other stuff in alaska on icy roads is not avoidable though, like on a high speed lane and the person in front of you just stops and you have to put the brake pedal to the floor super fast so you spin out and everyone else in back of you has to do that too. Situations like this are unavoidable for obvious reasons.

Alaskans also run many red lights in winter. Mainly because it is icy out and the light just turned red. You can either pull on your breaks and end up in the passing lane, or just go right on through.

So... teach youth to effing drive? C'mon, it's not like older people just know how to do things.

It's my opinion that in alaska parents teach their kids to drive well including day and night driving, but no teaching in icy conditions.

Ask Nuke. Maybe he knows.

My mum taught me to drive when I was 10. "Oh it's snowing/raining/hurricaning? Now's a good time for you to learn things!"

I learned to drive at the age of 18, I wasn't interested on driving until then. When I was little I tried, a couple of times, to play the role of the driver...and ended up with kind of worrying accidents... :nervous:

I want a Finnish driving license. They teach a lot more there then just how to drive the car... They practically teach you how to drive the Finnish rally and live (It was on Top Gear).

Well, that would make every driver with a Finnish driving license be qualified for rally racing then. ;7

Yeah, and if you run over at least 20 grannies during your driving test, they'll throw in a truck license for free. :yes:

It really isn't that special. We get the theory lessons, some driving lessons and such. There are only two "special" cases that we can and must also perform: driving in the dark and driving in winter conditions. The first one takes place in the autumn, on some secluded little road where it really is ****ing dark. No biggie, just learn how to use those headlights. The second is probably what you meant. Takes place in a closed training area. People learn how to handle slippery conditions by driving on sheet metal covered with oil. That was sorta cool. You drive around at 40km/h, then you must hit the breaks and when you do, you slide like 20km before the car stops.

I don't have much experience with manual vehicles. But i can drive a manual tractor and a manual atv, i never tried a manual car before.

We get 30 hours of sitting in a classroom being bored to tears (6 straight hours of which is videos meant to horrify you into never drinking OR driving, let alone both, together) and then 6 hours of sitting in a car being bored to tears. And then we get a permit. Because your parents are supposed to teach you how to drive.

But I could already drive by then, so my driving instructor made me run errands for the three days.

If you can handle a frakkin' tractor, then a car would be no problem.

Only if the car is a piece of crap. Slower pick-up and less sensitive steering wheel.

Conversely, you don't have to worry about flipping a car over if you pop the clutch like you would with a tractor.

Good because when i was 10, i made that tractor jump forward like 3 feet in the air. Then my grandpa showed me how to shift the gears on that thing again. I got it right the second tme.
