    Oh jeez! I would love to have music while driving, but I would worry about it because when driving you have to concentrate with it rather than sit back and listen to music (as always do on car trips), and if you make a mistake it could be the end... :(

    Trusting me on a car I'd prbably have 10+ accidents a year XD; I get distracted easily <: Music can be quite distracting, I guess, if I was driving along and listening to music; I'd end up singing (badly) to it XD

    It's so much more difficult and expensive over here. You are told to have at least 40 hours worth of lessons, at the price of about $40 per hour. Then you have to pass two theory tests. One is answering 35 questions on stuff like road signs, speed limits, safety issues etc, and another one called the Hazard Perception test, where you watch video clips of a car driving and you have to click the mouse immediately when you see a potential hazard. And you lose points for every second or two you waste before clicking it.

    After passing both of those, you then get your practical driving test. You're in a car with a driving instructor and they tell you to drive around to different places, performing different turns and manoeuvre. You're allowed to make a few minor errors and still pass, but if you make a serious one, you instantly fail and have to take it again at a later date. At the cost of another $40.
    ... That sounds like far too much work for me, I think I'll take the normal ways we got here over all that stuff *nods nods*. XD

    The first car I want is a truck. A Toyota Tacoma (newer model), maybe I'll get one one day. XD

    Heh, if I'm too careful when I drive a car, I'll go slow, and that would potential stir up some road rage! :P Nor will I speed, or else they'll fine me! :( I guess practice makes perfect, and I'll go for it moderately, and with some music! :)

    Good luck on getting that truck XD I'd probably end up in an old 3-wheeled car XD

    My parents said they'd contribute towards driving lessons for me XD; they should know by now I'm an accident prone. I can't even ride my bike without something happening XD

    You still got a ways before needing a car. Me on the other hand, I'm 18 so I need one soon enough. XD

    My parents are for me to drive, not that I want to, though it'll be fun! :D Meh, I'll let my poor mum drive me, but that would be mean! :P

    Yeah XD When I'm old enough to have a car I wouldn't want to bug other people to give me a ride D: They would then probably think I'm lazy or something XD

    I can imagine doing that aswell XD Driving everyone when they want a ride, I'm not the sort of person to say "No" to my friends/family. So I'd have to do it XD;

    I like limos, but I wouldn't own one I don't think =P I'd make waaaay too many accidents XD But now you mention someone driving it for you, I suppose that would work XD

    Plus, limo's come with TV's, don't they? And all sorts of stuff! XD LOL It was funny, because we stopped at the traffics behind this car, and it had like a Tv at the top, and we were like watching it (forgot what was on it though), but we had to turn instead of trail it! :D

    Someone driving for you...imagine someone doing everything for you? Nah, I need to get off my butt and actually do something - Ican't be lazy all my life! :laugh:

    Oh! They also have Champagne/wine flashy lights! XD

    I wouldn't really like anyone drive something that I payed for XD So I'd drive it, it's boring just sitting in the limo on your own aswell XD

    Cars with TVs in them isn't as good as they're cut out to be. I was like "OMG I want an SUV because they have movie players in them." when I was younger. We never got an SUV, but I did get a nice laptop. And I do watch movies on them when in the car, but it's not like it's the best thing in the world. XD

    Well, everything's boring alone, but it's also so relaxing too. I'd try to get people to come along for the ride, hoping them talking won't distract me with driving. Ooh if only the car drove itself.... :laugh:

    I wnated everything when I was young! XD Heh, I realised my parents don't have a CD player in the car, but with mp3 players what's the bother?! <3 Just gotta love technology... ;D

    Limo's are kool, I need to get one when I get old. XD

    I don't want to drive myself, everyone would drive me..because I'd make them.

    XD I get bored watching TV at home let alone watching TV in a car XD

    If the car drove by itself. I would be scared, it'd drive into every car before it even detects a red traffic light XD

    Lotto? No one wins that thing! It's a scam! XD Well, someone will win, but they'll win the money to spent on getting the lotto ticket! XP Nah, we don't try the lotto much, because we know we don't have enough luck to win it. I guess money is best earnt, through tidious education and whatever life throughs at us. ;)

    Free TV's boring most of the times anyways! :P

    Traffic lights are weird. I use to think some fat guy lived underground and controlled the traffic lights! XD

    Lotto isn't a scam, it's just..it needs patience, like..if you try the same numbers your whole life, just before you die, you'd probably win lotto. Well that's what I go by.

    In the end, we all want money. Why can't we just barter instead?! :P

    Speaking of traffic lights, I hate to stop when the lights go yellow, so I'll speed up and pass by the time it's red light! Just hope no-one will fine me though... :nervous:
