Some Q's ;D

[-Soph-]

Rightt i have some questions, mainly aimed at american people, but if anyone else knows and is certain that'll help too!
'cause i'm moving to arizona on thursday xD
Anywho,
First of all, whats the age for driving over there? I heard you can drive when your 15 but that seems a bit far fetched..
And just any information that I'll need to know that is different here from the UK ;]

If you help me out, i'll give you some rep<3

I think you can get some kind of drivers permit at the age of 16/17, which i think means you can drive with someone who can drive in the car.

And, then i think it's like 17/18 when you can get your actual drivers license. But, i'm not too sure.

ahha cheers ;] I heard you can get provisional when your 15.. but i'm not sure rofl

[N!ck]

I heard you can drive when you're 15, but only on certain roads and at certain times of the day.

Uh, youll have to look it up. I know some states you get your permit at 15, and liscence at 16, but most states you get permit at 16 and then once you complete all the required stuff you get your liscence. Usually when youre 16 and a half. Youll have to look up what it is for Arizona.

Permit is driving with a parent, so its not like you can just take the car, an adult has to be with you.

Drinking age is 21 in ALL states. Federal law now.

Hmmm, Arizona I believe is a red state, so you might run into some major republican-Bush-backers, but they're close to California so its probably not that bad.

Actually it makes a sense. I dont know where I stand on the whole alcohol issue. Id probably say lower it back to 18 though. Because you can join the Army and die for your country when youre 18, but you cant have a beer? Also, having it at 21 makes kids want to try harder drugs. Since drinking beer is illegal for them anyway, why not try pot? Theyre going to do SOMETHING. But then when it's at 18, it makes it easier for really young kids to get it.

But either way, its extremely common for kids to drink under 21, (my brother does it all the time) and as a matter of fact, many cops dont care. At least until someone gets hurt. You cant go to the bar and order a drink, but if you go to a party with beer, you most likely wont get in trouble.

Still must suck, because you're an adult when you are 18+ and you can't even drink legally until you're 21, UK laws aren't all bad, smoking at 16, driving at 17 and drinking at 18 :8

[Huddle]
