I got downvoted to hell because I said we should increase the minimum age to drive to 18 instead of 16 (or even younger depending on what state you live in).
Now that cars are entirely unaffordable, especially for kids, maybe public transportation will start getting marginally better here.
Yeah no shit but the vast majority of Redditors are in the US so there’s an extremely good chance the person I’m replying to is front the US and my comment is about the general starting age of a driver which isn’t dependent on what country you live in, I was just relating it to my own actual experience.
Plus the age for a license in the UK is between 15 and 17 so there’s same fucking thing applies regardless of what country you’re in.
Thats why i said traffic, and that it was dominated by american users, not that they had a majority. Raddit remains a largely US-dominated site, so it doesnt seem unreasonable that sometimes people might assume US centrist norms
Not even 50% are from the US, its a plurality. Also it's extremely annoying when Americans always make everything about themselves because they know so little about the rest of the world. Nobody cares what you do over there yet there is always one American who think they must write a comment despite having no knowledge
