I think you mean .05, but I get you.
That's weird, we only have provisional licenses for 16 and 17-year-olds; as soon as you turn 18 there are no restrictions on your license.

Another thing about keeping your wheels straight is that it is apparently super bad for your car if you park it that way.

PLEASE TELL ME I'M NOT THE ONLY ONEWhenever I try to fix my bad parking, I always end up making it worse! So I only bother fixing it if I think it's so bad I'm going to get towed or keyed. And oh god I hate backing into parking spaces. Especially angle spots. Once I backed into an angle spot and got out of my car to discover that I had parked opposite of the angle of the parking space. A perfect X!
Sometimes for work, I have to drop off some paperwork at an immigration law office. They have the WORST parking lot. It's behind their bulding, and the space between one parked car and the building is about the same width as your car, less if you have a nice wide pick-up truck. So if it gets crowded everybody has to come out and move their cars around like an awful awful sliding puzzle. So far I have been lucky. The worst that has happened to me is getting stuck in a certain space while every other spot was full plus a car directly behind me parked illegally. I just had to wait for the car behind me to leave, and then I could back out into the super busy street that is busy always at all times of the day. If it were any other space it would have been puzzle time S:
Wait, what? It better not be bad for your car, I park on a hill most of the time.
It's not bad. Parking with the wheels straight stresses nothing on the car.
It's common procedure to angle your wheels away from the curb on a hill so that if the brake gives out the tire will catch on the curb. The only thing that stresses is the ignition lock cylinder. The key tumbler inside has issues aligning correctly sometimes. That's why it ca be hard to get your key to turn when you park with your wheel turned hard one way or the other.
I have always wondered why that happens.
You're like some kind of brilliant doctor.

Jess where do you live? I'm going to come down and teach you to drive!
Going by the thread's title, I drove while I while pretty drowsy yesterday while on my way home. First, I'd like to say that I didn't fall asleep during any point of my drive, but I did manage to come close doing so a few times. Even at one point during my drive, I almost swerved my car to a car besides mine, and that was the moment that got me to stay more focused. Eeyup.
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
Last night I was driving home at 2 a.m after being up since 6 a.m. the previous day. And I was sleepy when I was outside of the car, and sleepy after I got home, but I was completely not sleepy while I was in the car. Because that's dangerous so you have to be alert!. Also because I'm a badass.

I fell asleep whilst playing Super Mario Kart one time. Though that might have been due to me spending an hour trying to win the first 50cc race with my eyes shut the whole way...
How much spare time did you have when you were a kid? I barely have time to fart these days...
I hate driving while sleepy; it's the worst feeling. I'd avoid it at all costs but sometimes I have to work or something and I can't exactly get out of it.
I read somewhere that driving when you're tired impairs you just as much as driving while you're drunk does.
That's true Pike. <a href="http://www.motherproof.com/news-rants/story/MythBusters-Finds-Drowsy-Driving-is-More-Dangerous-Than-Driving-Tipsy">Mythbusters found out that driving drowsy is more dangerous than driving tipsy.</a>

I'd make a topic about driving drunk but I'd be talking to myself. I think most of eoff are saner than my very bad example stories.
Oh, man. The last time I drove home super tired I ended up like a third of the way in the lane next to me when I was half a mile from home. I think my body sensed the proximity of my bed and just gave up. Luckily it was 5 AM and there weren't any people driving around.

I drive tired all the time because at least it's not illegal like being drunkWhen I crash and die, I will have a letter that says "smurf you government" or something.
Here you can be charged with reckless driving if you're tired enough to cause poor driving.I drive tired all the time because at least it's not illegal like being drunk
