My question is why are teens allowed to drive motorcycles, i am a teen and my mom bought me a bike and i still wonder how can california allow that. I mean i love it cause i can legally drive a motorcycle at age 16 which i couldnt in a car only to school but with a bike the motorcycle permit allows you too ride by yourself but no freeway or night riding. I find that weird i have had proper training at MSF and drivers training and school i am well aware of the dangers and i thinks its just funny.
I think i would be more safer in a car i dont like cars ive always like motorcycles but how can the government think a motorcycle is more safe then a car, WOW is all i have to say.
what do you fellow people think? isnt that funny
also i live in california my insurance is 40 bucks for basic liability. My bike is a 1992 ninja that now has 5000 miles when i got it , it had 3000 so now 6 months with my bike i am 2000 miles experienced and i am now 17 and a senior WHEW! i love California!

Good question. I am not sure I like the idea of newbie on a motorcyle, but hey, at least the talking on the cell phone and messing with the radio won't happen (I hope)! I think the cc allowance is a good idea, kind of like our driver's ed graduated system. It is way more dangerous than in a car, but then again, a car accident can kill more people at the same time. We have had a lot of teen car accidents in my area with multiple fataIities. One 15-year-old drove without a license from a party and killed the two other girls in the car. Both are a big responsibility. I appreciate the fact that you actually realize the irony of this - smart thinking.

If you are considered an adult at the age of 18, 16 is an acceptable age to start allowing some responsibility. I personally think the states should have CC limits for the inexperienced driver requiring you to have a years experience before stepping up to a larger displacement bike, but hey everyone has opinions :)
I started riding motorcycles around the age of 12 and I have been without injury for more than 15 years now I think its all about respect drive careful and wear your helmet!

Because it's an easy way to weed out the defective genetic material that we don't want replicating itself.

(people that make laws) = (people that have drivers) = (people that don't drive)
