In high school?! Shit… Good thing we have a more sane system in Germany about bikes specifically. You can’t just legally drive a high-performing bike when you’re young, you have to work your way up from AM (45kmh, 4kw, 50cm³, as early as age 15), then A1 (11kw, 125cm³, 16 years old), A2 (35kw, 18 years old) to A (unlimited, 20 years old if you got A2 for at least 2 years). Only if you’re age 24 or older you can go directly to A as it’s assumed you’re adult enough, and well, freedom and all.
Still, too many people drive superbikes on the Autobahn like they’re living in GTA… but at least not out of youthful ignorance, but simply stupidity.
