It seemed that something went wrong with my first posts, so I send it once
more. Sorry if you already received this.

In this I must disagree, not everybody drives cars. Maybye in the USA of now
people do. But in 2054? No way, much to expensive. Remember lots of people
don't have enough money to rent a decent roof above their heads. Besides who
needs to drive, let your autopilot do the driving part for you. Or take the
Subway.
Besides, (since we use the shr books for examples) in the sprawlsides you can
find the archetype of a taxidriver. He got a drive car skilllevel of 5! Granted
I would say that '5' is a bit high, but he is not supposed to do high speed
chases and such. And he still is a 'good' chauffeur.

IMHO a car skill of 3 makes a compotent driver (see what a autopilot of 1 is
able to do). So I say 35 points
