Safe Speed Forums

I get this piece from Klaril. Klaril .. ist cousin. Eldest of the Swiss. She live in Colorado. She did spend a research period here couple of years ago though .. She prefers Colorado as "safer und pleasanter"

But this piece? Useful info to look into?

I like the slogan.. "click it or ticket!" though. That catchy!


But to our resident pet trolls und Tom who not a troll.. what do you all think about this?

Do discuss .. give your opinion. They are saying improve the training.. discourage handy use.. they seem to have success.

Yes.. I think right to limit number of passengers. It not restricting.. or preventing them from going out together as pals. They just saying no more than a duo or trio.

Limiting the hours?


Well if I am honest .. we do have house rules here. We expect our kids to be in the house by certain time but allow a margin of 15 mins before we impose disciplines..

I think acceptable law to be honest. But then it not too far removed from wild feline discpline to young cubs..

Me?
Je ne regrette rien!

How does the graduated driving licence work, are you limited in vehicle selection etc?

Looks to me like something that could be an important psychological reminder to new drivers- "this is not a full licence because you're still learning, you don't know it all yet"

Fear is a weapon of mass distraction

Graduated licensing adds intermediate stages between "learner's permit" and "fully licensed", depending on one's age, training (as opposed to mere classroom time), experience, and behavior.

Usually, there is a mandatory six month 'purgatory' required before the child may graduate to the next licensing stage. Thus, even if the child behaves perfectly, it will take at least one year to get an unrestricted license - in most cases, two, since many states have long since had provisions on otherwise 'fully licensed' drivers under 18 years of age. (Separate from that, Amerika limits those under 21 from driving with a BAC above 0.01%.)

In nearly all cases, drivers of insufficient in age, training, experience, and/or behavior are given nighttime curfews during which they cannot drive, except in an emergency. These vary significantly from state to state, but are generally well before midnight and always cover the overnight hours.

In most cases, the 'newb' is initially restricted to driving only with their instructor, parent, legal guardian, etc. After accruing some training and experience, and demonstrating no lapses in behavior, they may drive with a licensed driver of somewhat greater age. After accruing sufficient age, training, and experience, while behaving well, the number of passengers permitted increases, while their permitted age decreases.

Generally, the idea is to minimize driver distractions / peer pressures from inside the car, to keep the newb's attention on what is going on outside the car, and to prevent 16 - 20 year-olds from killing themselves three, four, five, or six at once during the times of the day when they have statistically proven themselves most likely to die.
