  1. I need a new ID. This one is outdated.

    1. @zeldatra What use is an ID when you cannot drink

      Thursday, 08-Aug-13 22:22:15 UTC from web
      1. @scoot Mine tells me I can buy cigarettes and drive.

        1. @commodorecrazycommanderofthe1stroyalbrigadeofspiceracksandcheese I guess I am used to the fact that all of those things happen pretty much all at the same time here. Driving - 17, drinking - 18, cigarettes - 18

          1. @scoot Also yeah the driving thing but that's less important to me because everything is within walking distance here.

            1. @zeldatra I've never learnt to drive

              1. @scoot My school forces me to take Driver's Ed and that's really the only reason why I know that apparently fire hydrants are the world's most dangerous safety hazard.

                1. @zeldatra I disagree, people are the most dangerous safety hazard. Specifically, the dumb ones.

                2. @zeldatra Actually being made to learn how to drive at school would have been neat

                  1. @scoot One of the driver's Ed teachers was fired last year for showing up to school drunk and the other one is dead, so I have NO idea who's teaching it this year.

                  2. @scoot @redenchilada It's pretty limited though. Only to work and school and back to home.

                    1. @commodorecrazycommanderofthe1stroyalbrigadeofspiceracksandcheese More than I've ever driven

                      Thursday, 08-Aug-13 22:35:06 UTC from web
                      1. @scoot Personally, I'd love to pick a direction and drive until I need a passport or see water.

                        Thursday, 08-Aug-13 22:36:16 UTC from web
                        1. @commodorecrazycommanderofthe1stroyalbrigadeofspiceracksandcheese I see the appeal of that, but I probably wouldn't do it personally

                          Thursday, 08-Aug-13 22:37:31 UTC from web
                          1. @scoot not that far to drive in the uk, though the eu should make it a fair distance

                            Thursday, 08-Aug-13 22:38:31 UTC from web
                            1. @vcgriffin If I could drive I'd certainly be tempted by Land's End to John O'Groats, although I bet I'd get bored about 2 hours in and just go home

                              Thursday, 08-Aug-13 22:39:36 UTC from web
          2. @scoot Driving- 16, cigs-18, drinks-21.

            1. @commodorecrazycommanderofthe1stroyalbrigadeofspiceracksandcheese Bizarre. You trust people with metal death machines for 5 years before you trust them to handle a bottle of wine

              1. @scoot I can go 90(not legally mind you) in a 3500 pound block metal, glass, and plastic, but I can't order booze.

                1. @commodorecrazycommanderofthe1stroyalbrigadeofspiceracksandcheese Makes perfect sense!

                  Thursday, 08-Aug-13 22:30:09 UTC from web
                  1. @scoot That doesn't stop very many people around here.

                    Thursday, 08-Aug-13 22:32:27 UTC from web
              2. @scoot Apparently some states let you have a license at 14

                Thursday, 08-Aug-13 22:32:46 UTC from web
                1. @redenchilada Wow at 14 I was definitely not smart enough to operate a vehicle or take on literally any responsibility whatsoever. I wonder how many crashes those states have compared to others

      2. @scoot Over here they ID check you for prepaid Visas and such.

    2. @rancidrob "apparently" It's really only something I've heard once or twice and I've never found it interesting enough to verify

    4. @rancidrob Google tells me South Dakota allows a "minor's permit" at 14 that allows driving in daylight hours with nothing but "parental permission" needed.

      1. @redenchilada I thought your avatar was a Venusaur at first.

              1. @mushi click the "in context" button

            2. @scoot *stares* *unfocuses eyes* *applies blur filter to image* *views image in sepiatone* I can't tell the difference

              Thursday, 08-Aug-13 22:47:53 UTC from web
              1. @redenchilada Even like that I can still tell the difference, you need an eye test http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/318897

                Thursday, 08-Aug-13 22:50:20 UTC from web
                1. @scoot It was more blur and also I didn't have glasses on

                      1. @redenchilada I can still tell the difference, the one on the left is taller and more splodgey

                        Thursday, 08-Aug-13 22:57:38 UTC from web
                        1. @scoot That's because the pictures were different sizes

                          Thursday, 08-Aug-13 22:59:38 UTC from web
                          1. @redenchilada Don't make excuses

                            Thursday, 08-Aug-13 23:00:45 UTC from web
                            1. @scoot Are you implying a picture becomes completely different if it's upscaled a little bit

                              Thursday, 08-Aug-13 23:04:26 UTC from web
                              1. @redenchilada I'm implying you can't see for toffee.

                                Thursday, 08-Aug-13 23:06:41 UTC from web
                                1. @scoot I said I applied a blur filter and your blur filter was barely a blur filter at all

                                  Thursday, 08-Aug-13 23:07:56 UTC from web
                                  1. @redenchilada I blurred it. You disintegrated it

                                    Thursday, 08-Aug-13 23:11:08 UTC from web
                              2. @redenchilada no, your legit

    5. @rancidrob Also hardship licenses are a thing in some states. I know both Texas and Tennessee have them. They're hard to get though and only allow driving to specific locations in daylight hours.
