Howdy Liebling,

You surely are stubbornly attempting to win some points on this debatable issues. First of all, please do not surf any driving and drinking articles in U.S.A. Please provide your AD readers about driving and drinking articles in Great Britain and/or Germany. We the North Americans are not much aware of your Europeon views espeically Germany in Kids' drinking and driving. All we know about Prince Harry's troubles.

As Reba said, we do not have much time to ride our bikes to work becasue of long trip and weathers. I reside in Washington Metro that does provide the public transportation. However, as I born and rised, in Kansas there are not much public transportation for the low-paid employees for the long distance between points. When I worked for RV/Shuttle company in small town in late 1980s, I have seen many poor farmers working there for additational paychecks. They still also work at their own farms extra hours. That's why they had to drive their trucks to work since they do not have much time to wait for the public transportation. Moreover, they also do not want to pay more tax on the public transportation for small towns in Kansas except big cities.

I am sure that European governments wants to support the public transportation so that they want to reduce the unemployment rates. If I want to travel to Europe or German, I will be happly to use the public transportation....

If you want to visit small towns for vacation or short trip in North America, rental car expense is more cheaper than using the public/privatetransportation.....

Is there a German law let 16 years old driver to drive with adult for practicing? What about parents that they can not drive due to their disablities? Does the German goverment permits 16 years old child to transport their parent(s) for special permit? Of course, some state governments in U.S. permits to let the 14 years old kid with special permit drive for the parent who can not drive. Some kids drive their parent who has color blind and can not drive at nights.
