Can't get my head round the bit about anyone over 15 being able to drive a 500cc car. In England, my missus had a Fiat 500. It was bigger than these micro cars (normal 4 seater) and it was pretty nippy for its size. She needed a full driving licence to drive it. Is there something special about these micro cars that means that they can't go faster than a snail's pace? If Fiat can make their 500cc cars move normally, why can't these micro cars manage it?
