now we only need that sort of check for all those stupid drivers sitting in those cars.
From an american point of view the rules are MUCH tougher over here. For example it is illegal to make an uneeded stop on the highway (running out of gas is avoidable therefore illegal). There is no such thing as a junker on the road. Every car is well taken care of. An article I read compared the fear of americans from the IRS is like the fear for the car check. But then again I legally drive 120 mph, and get passed. Everything is much more controlled then in the US.

My concern is for parking. I think parking a 5th gen would be a bit more difficult but then again i do not know what the turning radius is.
