It’s Far Tougher to Get Licensed in Germany

Oct 20 2014

Over there they’re taught to drive,
here we’re taught to pass a test.

Read it online at Autonet.

Favourite line:

There has to be something to Germany’s methods if its drivers are travelling at twice the speed, but with a lower accident rate.

I also like how it’s more expensive, because people tend to take things more seriously when they have to pony up big bucks.

Sep 18 2013

This is geared towards teens, but really, applies to anyone over the age of 21 who doesn’t have their licence.. to which I say, really?! Eye roll.  Got get it omfg.

It’s not about owning a car, it’s about being licensed to operate one.

Here’s 9 reasons why.

Why design your life so that you’re always relying on someone else?  Where’s the independence in that.

What is an Enhanced Driver’s Licence?

Jul 8 2013

It costs about $40, and an Enhanced Driver’s License (EDL) can be used instead of a passport when crossing the border by car.

However! It’s embedded with an RFID tag, meaning, protect it by using an RFID-shielding wallet, like this. Take this seriously, Saskatchewan abandoned EDLs because of the potential security breach.

Read it online at Autonet.

Favourite line:

There is one major difference between the two license that you cannot see – and that’s the addition of an embedded RFID tag.

1 Driver’s Test every 64 years?!

Feb 27 2013

It’s odd to me, that with arguably one of the most dangerous things we all do, we’re tested once when we’re 16, then not again until we’re 80… that’s a 64-year spread?! 

Read it online here.

Favourite line:

… because if the airbag deploys mid-turn, Jimmy’s arm will punch Jimmy in the face.
