Citizens from the new EU countries - visitors or immigrants - can drive in any EU country, including the UK, with their own valid driving licences, issued anywhere in the EU. \nNo, they don't have to take a driving test. And they don't need a full British driving license. As I mentioned - they have their own and its valid in the UK.

hell yes.  i'm not racist by any means but i think they should pay.  if it were an american without the insurance, you better believe we would have to cover the cost if we casued the accident.  the same thing happened to my roommate.  her mom was in visiting and a car full of mexicans slammed into her brand new car.  the driver didn't have a license and spoke no english.  the cop gave them a ticket for the accident and gave them a ticket for having a knife in the car.  but my roommates mom hasn't gotten anything paid yet nor can she get ahold of the police officer.  i think it is crazy.  mexicans say that want to be in our country but they don't want to pay the consecuences and abide by american law.  its simple if you don't have a license and you don't have insurance then don't freakin' drive.  hell, they don't know the laws cos they can't even read them.  to answer you questions, yes the police should do more but they won't because of politics.  local government can't deport illegals.  plus it would cost more to deport them than the damage they caused.  mexicans are taking over everywhere, and we as americans are going to have to adjust (as much as i hate to say).  we can no longer count on the other driver to cover the insurance cost thats why we must have full coverage on our on cars.

We all need to be working on driving less and using more public transportation/walking/biking now before things become a problem.  It would be difficult, yes, but we need to keep looking for alternative sources of energy and utilizing them.  We also need to encourage the government to increase routes and kinds of public transportation.

if their job involves driving, yes.  otherwise, it depends on the province they are in, and the labour law there.

No they should not.. they should maneuver around the traffic stopped in front of them.. or wait until a policeman gives direct instruction to the drivers in front of them to move

Yes they can! I have talked to several parents of young adults with Ds who drive.  Their biggest difficulty was finding auto insurance.  So contrary to popular belief people with Down syndrome CAN do most things other people do.

the onslaught of poverty & the expanding of the lower & middle classes, more of the family has to work earlier to stay level. the driving age should be lirradicated. anyone who can pass a driving test should be able to drive. accidents are caused by ppl not taking driving seriously which is an education problem. cell phone are another issue, 80% can drive well on a phone, the 20$ are gonna screw it up for the rest of us that do. i used to be a cab driver, almost all my business was on my cell. never had a problem with it.

I agree with you.  If everybody stepped on the gas at the same time, we'd all get through the light.  Well, after visiting parents in AZ (retired)... nobody seems to step on the gas pedal until the light turns red (and maybe that means "run" to the elders)

Look up accident statisitcs in Europe.  They don't allow driving till the age of 18 over there.

Because they don't know how to drive?

I think it should be treated just like beer and unfortified wine are (in the US).  Taxed, sure. Age-restricted. Available through retail stores (not ABC/state stores).  Available in bars/pubs/etc. And, just like beer and wine, individuals should be allowed to produce up to a certain amount at home annually.  DWI laws already cover driving offenses.\n\nOh, and revenues would roll in from production and sales. Some depressed economies would turn around and become boom economies.  Tax revenues would be enormous.  PLUS!!!  We'd save billions on police, courts and jails by not arresting and jailing people for pot!!!!!!!!!

if i had my way i would raise it to age 21. some  young people drive like madmen. excessive speeding and not abiding the rules of the road.

And THAT would be why all people over the age of 50 should be required to take a driving test, written exam, and eye exam every 2 years.

Hmm, that's an odd question.  I've never thought about it before, but it seems like children between 16-18 get in a lot of accidents.  Of course, being two years older and being just as inexperienced is the same problem.  I don't think that the age should be changed, but I DO think that driver's education should be manditory to taking a driver's test.  That would eliminate, or at least reduce, the risk involved in driving youths.

yes.  think of all the benefits for the hard working, tax paying, law abiding citizens like you and i!  lower gas prices (less demand), less cars on the road means quicker commute times and less accidents!  lower car insurance premiums!  less un-insured drivers causing accidents!  drop the un-employment rate! \n\nDont let those liberal politicians play on your emotions!  the benefits out-weigh just leaving them there to continue to suck off the govt system and raise your bills!.
