If one were to get a beer at a pub here, it would be around 1.5-2 standard drinks. To return to a 0.00 BAC, it takes about 1.5 hours for your liver to "remove" 1 standard drink. Ergo, 5 beers over 3 hours means you were drunk (for the purposes of driving). What is the legal BAC limit for your license?phishman420 wrote:
I got profiled in my Jeep when I got that DUI. I only had 5 beers in a span of 3 or so hours, but I was underage, so it didn't matter if I was drunk or not.
They are illegal here. Easy, don't speed. Or if you do, don't be stupid about it.. How fast were you going?phishman420 wrote:
Speeding ticket was BS because I had a radar detector that didn't go off until the cop was on my ass with his sirens on.
I've been driving a friend home at 3am, and come across the most pointless stop sign. And I've oh-my-god-stopped. What does it take, like a few extra seconds?phishman420 wrote:

Can't picture this, as ya'll drive on the wrong side of the road. Diagram plz. (For what it's worth, this one actually sounds legit not your fault..)phishman420 wrote:
Failure to yield was also retarded. I was turning left from a center turn lane in to a gas station, and my friend was taking a right on to the street I was turning from. She ran through the yield sign at the intersection to beat the other cars and hit me as I was turning.

$480/6 Months. I'm 23 and have been driving for 6 years now. Never had an accident and or any sort of ticket. Although I did get pulled over once while driving only because my friend was not wearing a seat belt. He got the ticket instead of me because in Indiana if the passenger is over 18 he is responsible for wearing the seat belt.

Insurance costs at least 5k for a sports car here=/ Like an evolution.

All of those offenses happened when I was a lot younger. I got that stop sign ticket last year, but the rest of them happened when I was 16-19 (I turn 23 in 2 months). Fuck the pOlice.mcminty wrote:

Legal BAC limit is .08 for those over 21. For under 21, the legal limit is .025. I blew a .04.

Umm, we can't get our full license until we are at least 20 years old, so from 16-19 our BAC is limited to 0.00. Tis easy - gonna drive? Don't drink at all. For the full license drivers, the limit is 0.05.
I still can't picture that failure to yield thing.

She was in a Chevy S-10, and I was in a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I totaled her shit. :p
Heh, I'd say if u waited till it was clear before turning, and you were halfway through the turn when she came tearing round the corner, then it ain't your fault.
What exactly do u mean by "yield", cause we don't use that in Oz. Probs the same as "give way"..?

Yeah, I was halfway in to the lane when she came around the corner. I froze, and she slammed on her brakes and hit me. It all happened so fast, and the intersection is 10 ft. away from the entrance to the gas station. I "failed to yield" to oncoming traffic even though there was no traffic until she came flying around the turn and hit me. The real gay part about the whole thing is that she was going fast to make it to school on time, and I was on my way home. My friend and I got to school and saw a drug dog there, so we turned around to drop our shit off at home.
I was paying $150 a month on 2 brand new cars full coverage. I had a friend that worked for State Farm and she really hooked me up. Now, 2 tickets later and finding out I was sued in CA over a rental car accident, causing CA to suspend my license 4 years ago, but me not knowing about it, causing me to get SR-22 for CA(I live in MN) I pay $600 every 6mo, that's on a 2002 Cadillac STS.

At 23 years age i pay around 700 dollar a year for my old Ford Sierra 89 and thats only traffic insurance so it covers only the basic.
You US people what kind of insurance do you hold? theres a huge difference here if you just take the traffic one compared to a fully insured ( covers theft and all that other stuff )

grp 18? at 20! i'd get a smaller engine! save a LOT of money, Im only 24 and pay £800p/y on a Clio Williams! Fully Comp. too!Toilet Sex wrote:

Haha... low prices are low..
Here is a classic example of a Danish insurance:
age = 18
gender = male
car = 1994 opel Vectra A 1.8i
(first car first years of driving)
12000 DKK (~£1200) every 6 months.. and that is only the obligatory insurance that covers the damage YOU do, not the damage others do to you...
Insurance companies are rediculous here in Denmark if you are under 26 years old tbh...
This is what everyone pays when they are under 26 years of age, regardless of their damage/law history...
Female insurance is abit cheaper though... (don't know why since I know more girls who damage their cars than guys tbh)

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
I would save a lot of money but I'm a big car enthusiast so I'd rather spend it this way anyway.TPM-J45P3R- wrote:
