Hell, we got special requirements for large enough vehicles that crossover into commercial sized trucks and busses. Just extend those down a bit.

Forget just for special vehicles. I’d love a full Finnish multi-staged provisional licensing with real driver training and loss of grip/crash defensive driving included. Provisional learners, then an interim restricted license, then add more and more privileges till they prove competency. 

This could have become a “I never thought this would happen to me” story if only your MGB had been able to keep up with that 996.

Heroic: Not really
EPIC: Absolutely!

I just read about the name of Burma/Myanmar, and it’s not all that straight forward. What’s unexpected is that many perceive “Myanmar” as being more inclusive of the minorities in the country, but the minorities themselves prefer “Burma” as the word Myanmar is more purely Burmese. Aung San Suu Kyi fought the…

Just yesterday a friend of mine was complaining about bikes taking up one lane of a four lane street! I was like, was there a bike lane? Him - No. Me - well then, bikes are supposed to take a lane, they were doing the right thing *confused*. Him - I KNOW it is allowed, but bikes just shouldn’t be allowed on the…

You got that right. This is yet another unintended consequence of what happens when you turn a proven mechanical linkage into a switch.

Do you also make do with the cheapest entry level Kia?

Unfortunately, I know plenty of people who don't understand the purpose of a bicycle.

“ childrens toys” lol tell that to the literal billions of people who use bikes every single day to get to school (college), work, etc.

Extremely strong username/post synergy here.

Tesla is a good choice, but you missed the obvious choice.

I was surprised they weren’t mentioned either lol. I think it was such an obvious choice that everyone just thought someone else would mention it.

The sad thing is, at that level sports is very much a profit center for these big universities. As much money as they spend (and you have to see it to believe it, my company sells IT services to many of them) the amount they bring in via alumni, sponsorships, merchandising, and TV is simply unbelievable. It’s now…

You can actually buy a EV6?   Been told by a dealer sales rep that it’s a 2 year wait on them here in Canada.

What are you even doing on this site if you hate cars so much?

You might think that, but I think there’s no difference between someone who appreciates and loves cars and someone who also acknowledges they’re a terrible transportation solution. Driving a manual sports car through the canyons fast with no traffic ahead of you and tons of road ahead is fun. Using that same car to go…

This is exactly why I advocate for walkable communities, car-free environments, and denser cities. All of it is connected. Car-centric planning pushes things out of realistic range for many to a point where there is a serious and unhealthy dependency on it. In turn, the cost of adapting to this lifestyle is literally…

Considering 80% of our oxygen comes from the ocean (and from plankton at that), The ocean should have always been red taped. I agree, no use in messing with something we know nothing about that is our life support system.
