Where you think we can drive car that age:D We get driver licence 18 years old which is two years later than you?

Of course people can drive car in land in their fields..None forbidden that when cops are not there:D

If it's your own property, then the cops can't do anything anyway..
2012-09-27 19:41:05
Of course they can. The legal age is 18 and without a license the cops can, of course, do something. That's like saying if you kill someone in your own house it's ok, it's your house, your rules.

actually author from Malaysia
2012-09-28 06:37:52
+1 owned.
2012-09-28 08:08:31
he meant to say that in america the law says that you can kill somebody that is supposed to be a threat to you in your own home/on your property
2012-09-28 09:41:59
thanks. :)
2012-09-28 09:52:33
you're welcome. next time just follow the reply line to see whom he reply's to.
2012-09-28 09:57:56
missed the point completely, congratz
2012-09-28 09:53:11
he meant that the author of this thread is from malaysia and not america , he thought u talkin about the author..
2012-09-28 16:12:41
that's what i'm saying, he missed my point... wtf??
2012-09-28 16:24:43
That's obviously not the same thing. If you got your own property, then you're allowed to drive on it, without a license even when you're underage..
2012-09-27 22:54:20
this conversation looks like libertarian arguing with socialdemocrat, hell, I side with libertarian
2012-09-28 09:38:03
Yeah you can drive in your own field or in closed area. I drove crossbikes/pitbikes whatever they're called when I was younger
2012-09-28 11:21:40
I know you can. Seems that Weedstoner420Ganjaman isn't from Finland..
2012-09-28 14:43:54
what about weed, if you drive your weed can they stop you or you can drive weed everywhere?
2012-09-28 08:11:06
you can drive on your own field, whatever your age is
2012-09-27 19:58:09
isn't that the same in every country ? :P
2012-09-27 20:01:00
Seems like #5 lives in another country. =/
2012-09-27 22:53:36
We can not, answer to you republican USAfan and Habanos
2012-09-28 03:18:27
It must be fun being delussional.. Several other fins even confirmed what I said yet you keep being stubborn.
2012-09-28 14:45:19
Well they are wrong, simple as that
2012-09-28 14:48:21
for some unknown reason i lyk that confidence and arrogance :p
2012-09-28 16:12:05
He's from Malaysia, not America.
2012-09-28 07:09:24
I saw Mika Hakinnen teaching James May on top gear, he said there was a 12-year old driving there :P. Mika also said he started really2 young :O
2012-09-28 08:20:20
You can drive pretty much anything in closed area
2012-09-28 11:17:32
The law ain't so straightforward. There are speedlimits and very strict conditions to what is a "closed area". Your own backyard doesn't count as one if it's not fenced and secured for no one to enter the area.

There are "icetracks" where you can drive underaged but those too are pretty much history nowadays.

The traffic law doesn't count in private or closed areas but it's the enforcement of the laws that count. By the law the area would have to be both private and isolated (isolated meaning no possible accidental access from outside) which very seldom is the case.

2012-09-28 08:16:14
What do you guys think about getting a licence on 16yrs of age?Personaly i dont like it...
2012-09-27 23:05:13
I don't like it too, I like how it is here in Brazil: 18 to drive and 18 to drink alcohol, seems fair.
2012-09-28 03:35:11
It's like this in Finland as well. But, unfortunately, many underaged people in here, are drinking alcohol and doing stupid things while drunk

if someone is a bad driver it doesnt matter how old they are, theyll still be a bad driver. its better to start earlier and teach proper driving techniques when the person is still growing and learning than to try and teach someone whos already set in their ways.
2012-09-28 14:58:20
thats not the point of the age restriction, its meant to give only growen up ppl so they wont be making stupid things
2012-09-28 15:09:29
ive seen plenty of so called grown up people driving like a 16yo who just got their license
2012-09-28 17:30:23
No, that is not true
2012-09-28 10:40:16
ofc you can drive carting cars in what age you want but not in traffic with any machine at age of 12

Yeah some do, if you meant that "can" literally. The driving license we can get when we are 18 years old or older. I have many friends who have driven car (on the fields) or kart since little kid (as soon as their feet reached the pedals).
2012-09-28 15:22:29
In Finland, there is no night for 6 months :O
2012-09-28 16:02:57
<3 India :DD
2012-09-28 16:08:36
False.
2012-09-28 16:57:55
At the northern most parts the midnigt sun shows for around 2 months but the nights are pretty bright for almost 4 months
2012-09-28 17:36:02
someone told me, that somewhere in England there's a law which says you can kill a Scot by using a bow
