Driving laws

[chales56]

Ok, my state (ILL) passed 2 really gay laws that went into affect jan. 1. The first one goes to new drivers that they can only have one non- family friend in the car when they are driving for the first 6 months. Second, no left lane cruising on highways . Even if your not speeding if u stay in the left lane for long enough a cop could pull u over. if u have any annoying laws post them

I find most speeding laws to be annoying.

well the first law is kind of weird but i can see why they aplied it....often young kids(and i'm not saying you) will get dares or encouragements from a car full of friends to do stupid stuff....


the second law is anything but stupid....its been used forever in europe and its proper lane etiquete...how do you think unlimited speeds can be maintaned whitout it on the autobahn

the left lane is for passing only...it doesn't matter how fast you are going its not a speeding lane its a passing lane...if people will learn this the traffic will be much smoother

Yea that 6-month law applies here too, except no friends except immediate family for us.

Here in California, if I remember correctly, 16 and 17 year olds (provisional license) may not drive between the hours 12am-5am unless accompanied by a 25 year old with driver license.
A 25 year old with driver license also needs to be travelling along when 16 / 17 old driver carries passengers under the age of 20.
Teenagers are among the most dangerous drivers on the road, and they do need ADULTS to watch out for them.

I don't know whats up with the left lane law here in California, but my driving instructor had told me on the first day, "left lane is the passing lane". Only use the lane for passing, not cruising. I am so pissed off at those people who drive in the left lane going 5 mph under the speed limit, and either talking on their cell phones or picking their nose!

i kinda disagree w/ that because teens, i dont think are the most dangerous... its the teens that have had their license for about a year and a half and they think they are the shit and are invinceble... but i know when i was 16 and i just got my license i was the best nicest freakin driver on the road but i did go through the asshole stage... anywho

california driving laws suck plain and simple

I do agree with you which over-confidence is a big issue related to accidents.
The teens are being considered as "dangerous" because of the statistics. And there is certainly exceptions to it.
Just as guys usually pay higher insurance rates than girls, because guys are considered more dangerous than the girls when behind the wheels.
California may have the most strict laws (isn't this what CA is known for?), and as for the other states, they are also coming up with new laws to set restrictions against teen driving. The governemnt just don't want too many of the "dangerous people" on the road

[MustangRoadRacer]

yes, teenage males are just about the worst thing in the world.
they are more likely to be bad drivers, criminals, and drug users/sellers than any other demographic.

In Pennsylvania you can pass in either lane on a 2-pane divided highway, but it is still proper etiquette to stay right/pass left.

I've already gotten past the 6month without friends in the car thing and also past the no driving past 1am rule.

I dont know why they charge guys more than girls on insurace. I saw a show on the discovery channal and they proved that men are much better at driving then woman. Also their they ones who are always driving with friends and puting on make up and talking on the cell phones. About 3 years ago my mom and I got rearended by a girl trying to put a type in her type player. She was in this big chevy SUV. We where stoped at a light behind some cars and couldnt go any where. Thank god Audi makes a solid car!

Edit: Not trying to start a fight with the girls on this forum

[MustangRoadRacer]

yeah, girls are way more dangerous than guys.
WOMEN however...
