how old should you have to be before you can drive a car good mythical morning today’s episode is brought to you by the red link community the place to correspond and create with other mythical moosh two weeks ago we asked you to submit your video responses to be featured on the rambling community telling us what should be the official official official handshake of the mythical beast we chose Kevin the eunice eels video first this is the symbol for our in sign language similarly this is a symbol for L standing for rhett and Link respectively it’s incredibly simple if both parties know what they’re doing the person to initiate the Welcome extends they are and the person receive the Welcome gladly forms the L to complement this simplicity is essential because in most in situations where this sort of premeditated mythical greeting would be applicable the two people engaging in the greeting would most likely be complete strangers who just discovered each other’s affinity for rhettandlink out of the blue you extend the are make the L little dainty but will take it when you encounter a mythical beast extend the arm extend the art respond with the L give the L last week we asked you what do you think is the minimum driving age what do you think that should be not what do you think it is but what do you think it should be many of you responded now we’re gonna go through your responses and we’re gonna arrive at a conclusion maybe now I did some research first of all because I was curious in the United States the maximum age of which you have to wait until you drive is New Jersey yes you have to be 17 in New Jersey sorry New Jersey ice the the smallest age you can be the smallest smallest person that you can be in terms of age is 14 right oh right where’s a South Dakota so yet another reason to migrate to South Dakota you can drive it 1414 Ida you nuts are you heart straight roads out there lots of fluffy dirt we’re not talking about like a hot wheel that you get in like no there’s an actual car can be 14 and you can drive there now in most countries you have to be 18 so most of everybody in the United States seems to have it better than the rest of the world because it’s 18 in the UK it is 17 but there is a country Niger in West Africa guess how old you have to be to drive in Niger is a holder young you want me to guess yes 48 yeah no debt lower uh 24 lower 22 higher 23 23 you got to be 20 you got a way into 23 what in Niger what happens when you turn 23 yeah me I can’t puberty I can I can’t I cannot say okay you hit second puberty at 23 I’ve never experienced the second period I guess I’m still waiting for that yeah well you’ll know when it is right now as we speak people who are watching in Niger are packing their bags to move to South Dakota look if you give me almost half the age yeah all those driving years lost uh dark night sane I or say me I guess that’s a Monty Python reference driving age I’d say 18 I rarely trust kids my age 16 at the wheel this is a 16 year old saying he doesn’t trust his peers you should be 18 that’s objectivity right there the bakugan master 0-1 says you should be 13 it can’t be 13 in South Dakota here’s his reasoning at 13 you start as a teenager and you’re given a lot of responsibility very quickly you’re also finishing first puberty but I I think you Fergus or you’re just in mid pube totally finished with it so you think that that should be the requirement you should be through with puberty second puberty I mean I’m with Niger on this way you got to go through second one is second puberty I don’t know ask somebody from Niger 1 gamma says legal driving age well seems like traffic danger comes from people from every generation and age good point so 120 the ha no one can drive mmm DJ fresh do says the driving it should be 18 I live in California whereas you two should know the traffic is terrible the traffic is terribly bad I don’t know if it’s because of youngsters driving but I could be wrong 16 and 7 year olds we need more mature drivers that understand the consequences of getting in an accident instead of just driving carelessly so he says it all comes down to understanding the consequences of your actions how old are you when you understand the consequences of driving recklessly well I think that’s a good point because and this is this is where the rest of the world might have this one right just let me put this out there the whole 18 thing because when you’re 18 traditionally is when you have taken on responsibility for your own actions in your life and your own finances so there’s a whole set of consequences that happen when you get in a wreck right and when you’re 16 and it’s you know we just talked about this yesterday when I ran out you ran into the ditch and you had to call your mom and then I had to call my dad again it wasn’t that big of a deal because it’s like dad I know you’re gonna handle this you know my parents took care of it for it you didn’t have to pay but as soon as I turned 18 or really it should have had to pay for me it was when I graduated from college was when I was at a place where I was suddenly on my own but you can’t wait until that point so keep keep the arguments coming Kyle well here they are Kaiser Wilhelm helm says I think 16 or 17 is a good age because by that time kids have most of the time matured enough to drive safely and appropriately not all which is why the driving test is important as long as they don’t text or talk while driving 16 or 17 is okay first of all don’t talk or text on a phone while driving at any age but you want to talk about another person in the car yeah I think they’re allowed to do that yeah is it but not with their permit they have to communicate telepathically yeah I know about that and there’s something about second puberty that I’d have never understood in the fine print but you know he says yeah well you know what I figured it out in South Dakota it’s so cold you don’t hit second puberty so they oh you have to start at 14 shirt shrinkage is that what you’re getting okay drive it the driving test is important what the driving test I don’t think what I know what somebody is I think we need to have a class evidence okay sky skelton 97 says it should be whatever age you can pass the test forget age entirely if you pass the driver test at 5 then it’s fine okay all right I don’t I don’t see a five-year-old passing the test but so it seems to be the emphasis well let’s forget about age but let’s emphasize the driving test if you can do it hey you know you can do it there’s people who grow up on farms they drive tractors and stuff from a young age they till the land and they know how to handle machinery they should be able to drive and take themselves as a school or to a job well that’s it but there’s a different license for that kind of thing if you work on a farm there’s a different class of license but that already exists for younger kids to go out and work on try to feel pride if you’re good enough that you should be able to pass the other test and they’re saying that’s good enough but then when the kid who drives the tractor for at home drives the car to school and he’s like 10 mmm the other 10 year olds riot and then we have we have public rioting we don’t want that well what if the car was had a governor on it where it could only go as fast as a tractor then it’s and the government oversaw out that installation of the governor so yeah that’s good I like that remember when we used to ride my granddad’s golf cart oh yeah and it went really fast and then one day we went there and it and it was like you put the pedal to the metal like we always did hmm and it went half as fast yeah he put a governor on and I said what’d you do set up put a gun on him I go hated you 52:13 airsoft says if you’re tall enough and passed the test why does age matter so they said okay it’s not about age is about a test and height it’s not a roller coaster if you can read you can see over the steering wheel while applying either the gas of the brake is appropriate you should be good to go that’s for amusement park rides not for driving I don’t know I’m kind of with airsoft one all right the people have all sorts of ideas about tests here hi hi on act 491 says I think the legal permit age should be 15 and driver’s license should be 16 after a driver’s test and a quote maturity test what is that like he doesn’t eat hers $5.00 what are you gonna do with this $5.00 get some candy can’t drive 4 or when you walk into ticketed savings but give that man a license when you walk in and take the test you just put you should glue a $20 bill to the floor and if they try to pick it up then they don’t pass that’s a stupidity test that’s what well let me get there Melanie murder there’s an interesting last name says honestly I think the driving age should be 20 I also believe you should need to pass an intelligence test to have one I think some of the people who have driven me places I think of some of the people who driven many places and I also think of the stupid things they’ve done yeah some people just have no common sense and I think they have no place operating machinery that’s not a bad idea but I think the jury I think the idea and since has nothing to do with operating machinery have you ever been to a construction site these people are not you know they’re not net that’s not a requirement you’ve even cost you mean intelligence my common sense well what’s common what’s it what you know I would say that the average construction worker has a whole lot of comments yeah I guess you’re robbing a lot more potatoes out of the average lips effort but he might not go off and get a PhD in something but that but he’s probably a better driver than the guy with the PhD that’s why we need to wrap this up in it this is I’m gonna throw out what I think this should be hmm I think that if you wait until you’re 18 what you’re doing is you’re letting people loose and you’re letting them out to society on their own at the same time that you’re giving them the responsibility to drive a car I think you should offset that a little bit I think when you go off and you’re like now I’m my own person I’m an adult you should bring into that adulthood the ability to drive a car so right by 17 I think 17 is a good age because I think 16 is good for the same reason because it that way you have even more time you have two years before 18 in there out the door here’s what 17 is better because when you’re 17 you’re that much closer to that point in your life we were beginning to think about things like college applications and potentially getting a job you’re thinking about life responsibilities at 16 it just seems like it’s so far off and just like whoa I got a car let’s go racket well my dad will take care of it but when you’re 17 you’re thinking listen I can’t get in trouble I gotta get stuff right so I can get to college 17 it’s the perfect a so are you gonna start lobbying Congress yeah it feels strongly about a congressman who watches this show I know you watch listen 17 that’s the age thanks for submitting your arguments next week we’re going to talk about sunburn versus poison ivy which is hard-hitting stuff Rhett does dead move on link the Gregory Brothers were recently on the show and they put this move they put this on the wheel and how am I gonna do this this is just a very it’s just go for it submit your horror stories for sunburn and poison ivy will determine which one is the worst I’m bid will determine of it which one is the worst next week on that gosh you heavy man oh there good good elbow on me I’m gonna take away your second puberty yeah it’s good typical so go gather let’s talk about that good mythical morning with bread and wink
