I like the idea of having a decal showing provisional drivers. Australia does it, except it is something that is stuck inside the front and rear windows of the car. Learner drivers are required to display a yellow plate with a black "L", probationary drivers (at least when I was probationary) displayed red plates with a white "P". These decals have nothing to do with age, as you can be a learner driver and in your 20's, the same goes with being probationary. The plates are useful, as you know that they person in front of you are learners and helps with cooperation on the road. These drivers also have restrictions on the passengers they can carry, the type of car they can drive, and their blood alcohol limit. It makes is easier for police to identify them and keep the roads safe.

Excellent idea! :thumbs:

If they don't think that under x age are capable of driving the same as the person who is over x age, they should not be behind the wheel.

If they can spit back a few easy answers on a multiple choice, computer give test, that shows the correct answer as soon as you click Next, they are able to get a drivers license here.

Whether you are actually, capable of driving is never a consideration...

No, they bounce from sidewalk to street and back again in order to avoid congestion. They blow through intersections, with and without traffic signals, without regard to red or green lights. Fail to stop for stop signs... I could go on and on....

If they were required to obey the same laws as an auto driver does it would be a different matter...

I am sure they are supposed to do that but ....

Here in Texas (well DFW area atleast) cyclists are required by laws to obey any and all traffic devices/laws and it's unlawful for them to ride on the sidewalk as well.

If I'm driving and see them ignore traffic devices, I honk and scare the ###### out of them :P

As a cyclist, I always obey the rules of the road, and it's the motorists that treat me like an obstacle rather than another road user. I'm as considerate as I can be of the motorists using the road, and ride as far off to the side as I can, allowing them room to pass. Still, I get expletives yelled out the window at me/nearly ridden off the road at least once a week. Then again, I live in Miami, a city infamous for it's terrible drivers...

You try that here and they just flip you the finger or roll up next to you at the next light and key your doors as they roll by...

Yeah, us cyclist are 'de evilz' and simply do stuff to piss you drivers off :blink:

Really, I mean unless you drive like ###### (impatient and do not look where you are going), a cyclist can do piss all to get in the way of a vehicle without getting crushed.

Refusing to use the spellchick!

I have put you on ignore. No really, I have, but you are still ruining my enjoyment of this site. .

If they did that to me, I'd run them over. Seriously.

Not if you are stuck between cars at a light and the biker is already around the corner and down the street...
