1. driving 16, driving at an age of 16 is way to early, make it 18 like here

2. alchohol 21, that is way to late, make it 16 like it is here

btw, im from holland

what do you think are 2 strange laws from either your own country, or someone elses

whoody12

I wouldnt say they are strange. i would think being 16 and drinking is strange. i would keep alchol 21 and 16 ur right may be alittle too yound i would make it 18 too.

I think everything should be 18. If you're an "adult" you should wait until 18 to drive, drink, smoke, get drafted, buy pr0n.

I am required to learn at least one foreign language in order to get out of high school.

Damn illegal immigrants. . . .

That isn't the point. Alchohol can severely damage your brain when you are under 21, even with small amounts.

The reason the drinking age is 21 is because that is what the Reagan Administration wanted...so they withheld highway funds to get states in line.

In other countries alcohol is not so taboo and wine is given to children for dinner. Are you telling me they all grow up with brain damage?

If im 13 and can drive a motor cycle as good or even BETTER than an adult, then I'm sure a 15 year old can figure it out. I rode my first moto at 8 years old ( 50cc Suzuki ). Then I got another auto-transmission one at 10 years old which was where I got more experience on motos. Then when I was 11 I got an adult size suzuki which was the bike where I learned how shift gears manualy. I started doing wheelies after I figured out that if I put my bike in 1st, hold the clutch, rev the engine, and let go of the clutch I could do wheelies. Some people think that kids are stupid and that we cant figure out how to drive anything more powerful than a BMX bike. I beg to differ. I'm only 13 and I can drive motorcycles, have a lisence for racing full size race boats, can drive a car, and can manage to drive stick. Really it dosent take much to learn how to drive so I think that the ability to drive at 15-16 is a good thing.

I think they just make that law because it could be useful for you in the future.... and besides, what's wrong with learning another language?

here you can drink legally when you're 18 and drive a car when you're 18 too. you can only drive a motorcycle when you're 16 but not over 100 cubics.

Silver_Dragon17

it can't damage your brain in small amounts. take whisky for example. in small amounts it can be very careful and can help you get over a cold easier. there are some drugs that can harm you in small amounts. but still the rule ' everything is good in small amount's still is true in many cases but not in every. it stand for alcohol as for food, coca cola, hamburgers and so on.

I live in New York, still... The Wisconsin law that states Cat Hunting legal, is awkward. Besides, I'd rather see an 16 drive-21 drink law in Holland - Drivin' + Drinking = Kill.

that's why more people die driving cuz they start driving as stupid teenagers and get big heads about driving cars very young. once you get behind that stereo-wheel no one can save you. only you. and if you'r a dumassf**k than you will most certanly die. if you get drunk than you will most certainly get drunk with friends and they will bring you save home. so you will get home in more peaces from getting drunk with 18 than from driving with 16.
