Actually incorrect again. Drivers age 15-20 accounted for more police reported accidents (wrecks). The elderly ranked higher percentage wise for deaths, as they are more frail. Also, how would a test ten times harder make no difference? That makes no sense. Even if you still do the same illegal acts you are at least more skilled/knowledgable about the skills necessary.

We also don't get an Autobahn. Look at places like Germany. Must be 18. Written test can be 1800+ questions, multiple driving schools, first aid certification and kit in car, possibly in the thousands of dollars by the time you're finished, drivers are almost exclusively responsible in any pedestrian injury, etc., etc. On the flip side you have areas you can legally and safely drive 100 mph as well. Also, make sure you have the money on you to pay your ticket. If it is really small you might get a week, if it is larger you could be walking when they impound your vehicle. Thereby, as a result, it is generally respected and obeyed much more.

And sorry, but again you are wrong. Impersonating an officer can result in terror, danger to you and others, etc. Whether you have anything more than just the lights or not you can and ,in many places, will be tried as an adult. It is not looked upon as, "oops stupid teenage prank." It is a FELONY, that is not a minor offense last time I checked. It has led to some serious crimes throughout the country and is generally treated as such. Check your state for it's statutes as it will vary on what ages, sentences, etc.

I believe he was stating that opinion due to your seemingly immature/naive responses. Whether you drive like a model citizen or not, the responsibility just isn't there at your age.

Glad you decided it was a bad idea and good luck!

I am in no way against strobes used for show purposes (not blue or red, etc.). And I know of members that have warned traffic of accidents by blocking them and turning on their strobes until police arrived. Not the same thing.

These two statements right here prove you lack maturity and the brains to be driving a car, let alone one that has any sort of power.

You don't think you can be convicted as an adult becuase your only sixteen hm? You do realize what a Felony is right? Rape, murder, kidnapping..... impersonating a police officer...

Also, I could care less how you drive. The way you act and the fact that you even considered putting red and blues on your car and using them becuase it 'Would be Fun' gives me a good idea though.

Grow up kid.

I don't really care what he has to say because I know I'm a good driver. I don't need his opinion. I would rather he not respond if he is going to be insulting, which he is.

First off, I'm rarely on the same side as Street Wolf. This has been quite constructive and helpful of him. He is often, how shall I say it, blunt. It doesn't matter to anyone that you said, "I won't do it." Mostly because you followed up every one of them with, but.... Then incorrectly stating false "facts" repeatedly proved you weren't informed or experienced (or had some harmful influences giving you your information) as it related to the subject. He took your replies how most of us did, that you weren't taking them seriously.

Above all, this is a forum. Don't ask for opinions or as you stated, "if any of u guys have any thoughts just let me no" only to follow it up once you get them with, "I don't need his opinion."

If I wanted attention I wouldnt be on here. And if you are going to say that, how about you just don't look at any of the forums I post. All I'm trying to do is get advice and you and street wolf have to be dicks about it. Neither of you are helping me. All you had to say is, "Dude it's a bad idea and I would have been thankful, but no you guys are assholes who get enjoyment from picking on younger people.

First, know who you are talking to. I got my first GP before you were born. A 1976, the year I was born. I bought my first 97-03 GP when you were like seven and have been helping the community since day one!! I am also one of the largest defenders of customization in the entire GP community. My only rules, off the top of my head: It be safe and it be quality workmanship. Beyond that I always push for everyone to express themselves.

So basically you wanted everyone to not give opinions, let you keep quoting falsehoods, and pat you on the back? Seriously, your offensive posts above only further back up other's opinions that you are not conducting yourself in a mature manner.

Are you really that incapable of having an internet conversation that you can't handle me quoting facts, laws, requirements, etc.? If my posts have been picking on you, I'd hate to see how you respond to your teachers. I fully admit I love a good debate, but there has been no such occurence in this case. Only one side has had anything useful to contribute...

Oh, just to let you know. While angrily lashing out at those trying to help you, you broke two forum rules.

Rule 2, Language: If it cant be said on daytime TV, don't say it here (being creative is fine, but don't spell it out...examples of being creative...A$$, don't be a Richard, etc)

Rule 3, Bashing: Friendly debate is fine, and fun ribbing is fine, but crossing the line into making comments that their sole purpose is to hurt or degrade a person is not acceptable.

Finally, generally LOL, , , are consider humor or sarcasm. Maybe as you mature and gain experience you'll learn that. But as you request, I will refrain from helping you in the future while you try to "play" cars. Probably not, since I don't hold grudges so move forward and represent yourself in a respectful and intelligent manner. All is well with the intraweb.

P.S. Well stated James!!
