    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.
