I don't go sailing for fish :wink:
Well, I don't go fishing at all :)
I love sailing because you can go with the wind (that means silance, no engine exhost, etc), completely merged in nature :wink:

All students are required to know how to drive both automatic and manuals. I think this, along with the avaliability of public transportation, greatly reduces the number of ingorance/alcohol related accidents.
Few corrections there. In Japan you can choose to only have a license for automatic transmission. And I would say the "training" is much more expensive than rigorous. You go every saturday for a few months or 2 weeks straight in the holidays. After that, unless you are as dumb as a rock, you get your license. The price goes for 2500 - 3000 USD.

BTW, public transportaion in Japan rocks if you live in a big city like Tokyo or Osaka; not so much if you live in the province...

As for the traffic accidents, I guess the lower speed limit is also a good factor.

Driving simulators are go. that's about as close as I have got, though I do own a remote control car that travels at 70km/h- not your typical plastic toy. There is a professional track I race at, and it is not crowded by 8 year olds. Most of the guys there are about 50, with cars that are traveling at around 120km/h- serious stuff. I could modify my car to travel at speeds of up to 110km/h, but it is to expensive to be viable. :arrow:
