Sheldon Gets His Learner's Permit | The Big Bang Theory

[@GamerplayerWT]

“A car length is not a standardized unit of measure.” He’s not wrong! Hahahaha!

[@jilmonjames329]

No Sheldon is wrong, that's where the common sense comes in to play. That includes how fast you are tailgating, what is the road conditions like & sense to judge how much distance you required to stop your car at the speed you travelling. By law you should have time to say thousand &1, thousand & 2 before passing the tree that the car infront of you passed.

[@GamerplayerWT]

@@jilmonjames329 so tell me the standard unit of measure of a car (in metric or standard)?

As people earlier noticed, Sheldon is a savant - most savants are geniuses in a specific area while having a very child-like nature and not ready for real life. Sheldon is a savant, so genius in one area, but not life-experienced, and thus, he needed someone like Penny by his side because Penny had a life experience and was very practical. And that is why Sheldon friendship with Penny was also the best one - they really learned from each other as opposites, yet ended up liking each other, and that is why it was entertaining to watch them together.

[@jsstar76]

The writers did not make him a ‘savant.’ I’ve read all the books written on TBBT and the writers are adamant he was just a genius, even proclaiming it at the Comic-Con conventions. Stop making things up.

[@queensgambit4982]

This has nothing to do with experience . Intelligent people see patterns others don’t . When the person is a genius and outspoken they verbalize why others are wrong ( but the receipt can’t relate because they don’t know and can’t operate at the level ). The reason why the geniuses lose the argument socially and objective sometimes even though they are right is because people are not like that . Since the majority of people think alike they would accept whatever agreed up rules and established truths and because they are ruling majority they basically force the accepted notion . Sometimes however the recipient may cross paths with you again in the future when they have understood what you said through an experience or something else and they may disclose it to you.

Jesus Christ wants a personal relationship with you through the Holy Spirit, not religion and blind faith. You see, we all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments). Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ, fullness of God in flesh, a perfect, sinless sacrifice to pay the penalty for our sins by dying on the cross and resurrecting, so that we may have everlasting life. It is all finished and now for you to accept the free gift of grace, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ and Bible says that His Blood will cover all of your sins, you will be forgiven, saved from eternal punishment, and be given everlasting life. By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit, become born again, know Jesus personally and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out. Turn away from sin, read the Bible, pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you and change you, obey the Word. Much love and God bless you!

Actually, there is another MASSIVE problem with the question: The question doesn't specify at what speed the car was driving, which in reality is what determines how far behind you need to be. I am currently taking a drivers license, and the rule of thumb (where I live) is that you need to be minimum around 2-3 seconds behind the car in front of you... while not exactly perfect, it at least tries to take into account your reaction time and speed.
