Lol, my exact first thought, Bobby Tables turned 18!
Where do you need to be 18 to drive?
In a considerable part of the world. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minimum_driving_ages
Yeah, I assumed most of the world was at least 18. I was surprised when I moved to the US at 15 and could get a learner's permit and drive with an adult, and drive by myself at 16.
Growing up in a rural part of Ohio it was needed. Everything was 20-30 miles away. Need milk and eggs, well see you an a hour
Yeah, I totally understand how it's necessary across many parts of the US. There's so much I couldn't have done in high school, like having a job, if I couldn't drive. I didn't live in a rural area, but between the sprawl and lack of public transportation...
Reminds me of the woman that got a fine for "driving in a bus lane" here in the UK. When she looked at the attached image on the fine it was of a woman walking in the street of a town she'd never been to. On that woman's jumper was lettering that closely resembled her plates.
Made me think I could attach a sheet of card with the plate details of some arsehole I disliked, ride a bicycle down the bus lane and see if they start complaining about being fined. 😅
They'll get the picture in the fine letter so make sure you give them your best one-finger salute
Is there even a remotely possible chance something like that would work? I have to drive past a ALPR that checks for insurance every day. I wouldn't mind plastering code across my tailgate in a design that resembles a license plate.
It actually did work, apparently:
Worth a shot. Wouldn't surprise me if this backwoods town is vulnerable. That being said, I'm open to anyone's code suggestions and I'll slap it on there. My coding abilities are limited to BASIC and just enough C to make microcontrollers work.
Little Bobby tables learns to drive.
This is smart. When my son was learning, I put a magnetic ‘student driver’ sign on my car, too. More people should do this. It’s just polite.
I think this would get you charged depending on the locality, do not try at home kids
Not always a good idea

“He had it coming,” says Christopher Null, a journalist who has written previously for WIRED about the challenges his last name presents.
