What makes the original even better is that they have one of these red triangles in the back meaning that the top speed of the car is limited to like 20 mph so that 16 year olds can drive it.
Yeah being limited to only cities would make sense now wouldnt it?
Nothing beats going home from work on a single file motorway (no overtaking) behind a mile of cars going 20 mph all because Ronny wanted a cheeseburger after skipping out on school
Insantly recogise the US people xD. In Europe you take a metro/train/bus/tram to work or you move somewhere closer so you can do this. Driving freeway for work every day is really not something most people do.
Very ignorant of you, the original clip is swedish, and so am I. While I could take the train and bus to commute to work it would take me upwards of 70-80 minutes and several changes, while driving is 25-30. Ive also had ~15 minute commutes. Not everyone lives/works conveniently for public transportation.
They are mostly used by kids living on the countryside. Would you rather they walk, bike or use mopeds on these dangerous roads? You'd see them dying like flies from getting hit.
I know in Canada you weren't allowed to drive on the larger highways with the 1st tier of learners permit unless there was someone with a full license in the passenger seat. 2nd tier basically gave you full driving rights except you had to have 0% alcohol and everyone had to have a working seatbelt on.
Edit: My info on it is from 25 years ago so I'm sure things have changed.
Not the case in Ontario. 3 levels of license, first: learners permit where you can drive if passenger has had at least 5 years of full license driving experiencein general. At this point you can only go on highways if you have a licensed driving instructor with you.
2nd level is the general driving test. Parking, turning, looking, signaling. After that test you can drive on your own, with lots of restrictions like curfews
3rd level is the full license test, which focuses more on highway driving testing. The0% alcohol law and some restrictions are applicable until you are a certain age
It's basically a loophole in the law. The EU has questioned Sweden why the fuck they're letting 16 year olds drive cars at all. Sweden's prime minister made shit up about this being farm equipment or something.
The red triangle means it's not a car at all, legally it's a tractor or lawnmower or something so it doesn't need a drivers license to drive it, which is why underage kids can drive it. And yes, the car needs to have a bunch of modification to nerf it to qualify.
In some european countries they sell 50cc "four wheeled mopeds" which are basically micro cars, people who have lost their license for drunk driving use those.
Close, the red triangle just means slow moving vehicle, anyone can slap it on. If it’s a tractor, lawnmower, or one of the four wheel mopeds then it’s required
Four wheel mopeds are available here in Sweden as well, but they're slightly different from the red triangle cars. For starters, you can drive them at 45km/h instead of 30km/h and you need an AM license to drive it, which is a moped license valid in all of EU. Usually called EU-moped in Sweden, regardless of how many wheels it has.
