In Blighty we have a provisional licence (where you drive but only under supervision) and the full licence (which I've got)

heh... thats sortof like MA's system... As soon as i get my lsicence, it'll have a JOL restriction, that i can't have people under 18 in the car, or drive between 11PM and 5AM without an adult, for 6 months... Then that goes away, and i'm left with a standard class D liscence (M if i was riding motorcycles)... Once i have turned 18, i can take some tests and some short classroom studies, and i can go directly to a class A, which means i can drive *looks in book*

"Any combination of vehicleswith a gross combination weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 pounds or more provided the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicles being towed is over 10,000 pounds, except a school bus. With a class A liscence, you may operate any vehicle covered under classes B, C, and D."


After that, I can get a CDL and Haz-Mat, (and yes, i am planning on all this, since it is nesessary for my job) so i can essentially drive ANY vehicle...

:lol:

I'm sorry but, no...

Every state has different laws and test, not the US as a whole

I took my permit test 4 years and passed the 2nd time. Haven't used it since.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside
