Our laws on drink driving are fairly harsh here as well, especially during the probation "P-plate" period. Particularly because the driving and drinking age start at the same time lol

Here it's 21 for alcohol, I think they raised the provisional license to 17. I had a provisional at 15 and my regular license at 16 and 9 months. But this was WAY back in 1977!

Here there is a ZERO tolerance policy for drunk driving under 21. You'll be in DEEP shit if you get caught underage here. It means you'll have a provisional license for a lot longer and I don't want to think about what your insurance rates would be after a DD conviction.

Isn't the law there that you can't drink alcohol under 21 years of age? Here its 18, so Probationary drivers licence holders (ie. P plates, because they display the letter P on their front and rear windows) are not able to drive with any alcohol in their system at all. Minimum age for getting a drivers licence is 18.

Yes, it's illegal to drink under 21. That said, from the time I was 16 I was buying alcohol just because of my size. I don't think I was ever asked for ID to purchase beer or bourbon until I was 22. I was 1 year behind them raising the age to 21, when it went to 19 I was 18 and so on.

This is probably the most inspiring tank i have ever seen, every little thing about it has had so much thought gone into it, I've just read the build from start to finish and all I can think is....... Wow.
Keep up the good work @Lesley,
