ExiledInIllinois Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I was watching a special on TV about the Autobahn, and they were talking with a test driver for either Mercedes or BMW. (He would take the new cars out late at night to certify how fast they could go for the new owners) He mentioned in Germany getting a license was a privilege, not a right. (He also mentioned engineers were perplexed over Americans need for cup holders in their cars) It's a privilege here too. Where else are you going to put your beer? Yeah! Aren't Germans some of the fattest on earth and is the largest ancestry group in the US... I can't understand why the German engineers would be perplexed.

DDD Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 My son's friend is German, lives there and comes to The States during the summer to visit his father. From what he has said, everybody takes their road test on a manual transmission vehicle. I wonder if that is really true? Anyway... ONLY 7% of Americans know how to drive stick. That's why 93% suck @ driving. We need a free hand to text while driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
