Back in my youth I got tickets for excessive acceleration and exhibition of speed.

All mine ended up being defective headlights.....

Is there a quality youth experience for a young man that DOESN'T include these?

Bit of an aside, but I was recently in Vietnam. I would describe traffic there as a national game of chicken, where the rules of the road are more like polite suggestions at best. Want to weave in and out of traffic? Go for it. Want to go the wrong way down the road? Have fun. Thing is, because everyone there's hyperaware of what can happen, and because I'm pretty sure, as someone mentioned, you don't have nearly the same liability as you do here, it worked surprisingly well. I only saw 2 accidents while I was there, and neither looked particularly bad.

Not the greatest traffic picture, but this gives you a little bit of an idea of how many motorscooters/motorcycles are on the road compared to cars. In that game of chicken, generally speaking, motorcycles < cars < trucks. If a car wants to turn across traffic, just find the slightest break in the scooters and force your way in (or make your own break by forcing your way in anyway).
