I'm currently holding our third 4chan PMQ/Q&A session, where 4channers have the opportunity to ask me questions tar and feather me. The thread can be found here.

tl;dr: I am hanging out and answering questions (anything and everything) from 4channers for the next few hours. Don't know what a 4chan PMQ/Q&A session is? Learn more here.

The drivers license stuff is serious bullshit.

Tests should be free and you should only have to demonstrate a few maneuvers on a populated track.

Now, if you fail one thing, like turning left too soon, you don't get a license, have to wait a month, pay $100, and try again.

I didn't get through the graduated system (ontario) before I went off to university where no car / family, and it eventually expired. Because I move around for work, often to different countries, it's impossible for me now to ever get a drivers license. Don't really care at this point, but it's annoying that it's not even a possibility vs. how trivial it would have been back in the day.

If you aren't middle class and 16, with parents willing to lend you their car and drive around with you, I don't see how you possibly can get it, short of shelling out thousands upon thousands of dollars for lessons over the course of years. The only other reasonable opportunity is if you marry someone who has a license and then you can start the years long process with their car / them driving around with you.

Besides the tests not being easy (there are multiple spread over years, run by private companies with every incentive to fail you), it's a matter of logistics: you need to be going through this process with access to a car for years without being a fully licensed driver.

Who would ever buy a car they can only drive with a fully licensed driver in the passenger seat?? And if not - i.e. you're not getting the envisioned proactive with mom and dad (because you're no longer 16) - how is this a benefit?? It just means you have to wait years between tests without doing any driving at all which means you are doomed to fail them.

"The fact is, today’s young people simply don’t drive like their predecessors did. In 2010, adults between the ages of 21 and 34 bought just 27 percent of all new vehicles sold in America, down from the peak of 38 percent in 1985. Miles driven are down, too. Even the proportion of teenagers with a license fell, by 28 percent, between 1998 and 2008."

Issue is the safest drivers are the ones not driving.

Now you've got a high percentage of elderly women so frail they can't even react fast enough to stop from killing pedestrians.

We make excuses for old people who are a danger to the road to be allowed to continue driving, yet we make it harder and harder for the youth who are the sharpest and fastest at reacting\decision-making to be able to have that same right.

Old people who never had to pass a driving test are now insisting on stricter tests, it's complete bullshit considering they never had to go through it themselves, why the fuck should they be allowed a vote?

It's backwards in my mind.

The old creepy bastards (men and women) walking around leering at children should be the ones the cops are called on, yet this never happens.

We instead go after the children basically citing it's their fault for roaming around if they get molested\raped, and for their own safety they have to stay indoors.

Meanwhile pedo grandmas stroll by the house winking at the young kids on their power walk.

This is because now it has nothing to do with skill, it is all money based.

Before when insurance wasn't mandatory and no mandatory testing besides perhaps small paper test, people who got into collisions (bad drivers) had to pay hefty fines, and because of this the bad drivers stayed away from driving.

The best drivers are going to be the ones who do not take it for granted and who are aware of how important it is to drive safely.

Some rich 16 year old girl who was given multi thousand dollar driving lessons and always assumed cars were "her right" is going to be a bad driver, because she has no concept of why it is important to pay attention and avoid accidents, as daddy can just buy her way out of any accidents.

Meanwhile a poorer person who could only afford a clunker is going to be hyper aware of their driving, because if they even knick a pole their car could clunk out and never start again, losing basically their life savings.

Now with all the expensive costs it raises the bar for how rich you have to be in order to get a license, and it also lowers the bar for personal responsibility after the fact.

It's natural that young people from the 50s to the 80s wanted cars more; all was tied into a form of youth rebellion and the desire to break away from one's parents that doesn't exist among kids now.

Was listening to a current affairs show here in Ontario about old people driving. Currently the test old folks take is basically a senility test; they ask them shit like what year is it, who's the prime minister, etc. But some elderly person advocate way saying this is discriminatory: that it doesn't matter if they've lost their minds so long as they retain the long-honed instinct for driving. Don't be suprised if this becomes the new standard: so long as you can still turn a wheel and press a pedal you are good to go, even if you forget where you're going en route.

>This, plus for someone coming out of high school, it's often the choice between owning a car and getting an education. The dumb and impulsive choose the former obviously.

I'd say both owning a car or getting education right now could be either positive or negative.

Personally I'm self employed, 21 years old and not taking any University.

I see people getting useless degrees just to flip burgers and it disgusts me.

I run several websites and I own a car because I need to pick up groceries, sometimes do cross State business (legal ofc) and I also love to fish while I work.

Of course buying an expensive car is impulsive and foolish in that I agree with you.

I just bought a 2006 used car for 2800$ and it's bin running like a dream for the past 4 years.

Best of luck with education though anon, it doesn't necessarily have to be a waste just choose the right degree.

There's no good reason to, you are right.

However a lot of the youth these days and even some of the boomer gen who had television\mass media were trained to believe almost anything was abuse.

The reason for this is divide and conquer.

When people are divided they spend more money, they become more consumerist. This is because they are lonely and they try to fill this void with meaningless spending.

So basically getting people to believe everyone else is abusing them is important to the commercial structure, as it increases profits vastly.
