What does the driving portion demonstrate outside of the drivers ability to properly drive under specific, controlled circumstances?

People choose to ignore speed limits, roll through stop signs, pass illegally, use their mobile devices etc. but they'd follow the rules for the duration of a test for the same reason they slow down when they see a cop on the side of the road.

To be clear, I don't really have a preference one way or the other but I'm struggling to understand the purpose of both a written and practical portion for renewal.

My understanding is there was maybe some truth to the travel distance once upon a time but that with sabot rounds for shotguns now the ballistics are almost the same between rifle and shotgun.

Pursuit predation/persistence hunting has to be one of the most metal characteristics about humans.

It's not a uniquely American thing as much as it is a capitalistic thing. As long as a show is getting viewership to be profitable it often gets milked for that profit until it degrades past a point of profitability.

This is also demonstrated well in the show Travelers with T.E.L.L.

Basically, a quantum AI from the future uses historical records to determine the time, elevation, latitude and longitude to send people back. Obviously the Earth itself is the reference point being used.

I wonder if those restrictions go back to the Great Depression? That's the case for the shotgun only areas in southern Minnesota.

Isn't the husband the investor? Wouldn't he be subtly saying he slept with her husband.

supported by iron nails(suboptimal)

Is this because the iron and the copper could react to each other? Should it be copper nails?

I have an internal voice/monologue day-to-day but visual when engaging in recall.

Easiest way to describe it is when I read a novel it's all going in as words but if I think about a specific part later it's recalled as a picture my mind created out of the words. I read the book but recall the movie.

I have a Bose SoundTouch 10 and I really like it but I feel like there's some truth to the "No highs? No lows? Must be Bose" saying.

I feel like the range is better on my wife's Sony SRS-XB31.

My current car is probably my "dream" car since it's the one I wanted since it came out but had to wait until it was time to replace my old car. It's a Hyundai Kona Ultimate that we own outright but it'd be nice if it was new again, I guess.

My future dream car is a Telo truck but I'll wait a year or two and see how they are once released and actually on the roads.
