I think it's absolutely ridiculous that the max speed on the highways is only 60mph. Everyone drives over 80mph anyways!

Well it's not my fault!
They should only make cars that go up to 60mph!
Making cars that go 120mph, they want you to speed

For the US you are right Tex. But not for Europe. We have Germany (no speed limit on the main highways).

Haven't had a speeding ticket yet (crosses fingers). I'm not all that fast anyway. My car would fall apart. I'm just dangerous in general on the roads. I think they should put a maximum limit on the number of times you can take your test you know. People like me who had to take it five times and only pass from the pity of the examiner shouldn't be allowed to drive!

Are the driving tests harder in Europe? Here, they make you drive around for 2 minutes, parallel park and that's it! Oh, and theres also a 20 guestion test that you take on the computer. It is soooo easy

I'm a bit of a speed demon myself, you just can't help yourself though can you? I wish our motorways had no speed limit.

I know the old ladies are pushing it, but their day is coming. You hafta be careful, cuz young studs is ticket bait for the traffic courts. That's how states keep their general funds afloat and how insurance companies up their profits. That's the game, and if you don't play by their rules, you pay.

Thanks Keo, you are right about everything!
I stared the defensive driving course online this morning. I am never speeding again. They show you clips about parents whoose children have been killed and it really makes you sad and guilty.
So to all you old lady speeders out there: WATCH OUT!!!

You only have to drive for two minutes? No way! OUr test last for 40 minutes an during that we also have to do two out of the three manouvers : parallel park, three point turn and reversing round a corner. There is also a thirty five question theory test that you have to pas with at least 30 before hand.
