I got my permit when i was 15 and my license when i was 16. That would be 97 and 98. But i hear its different now. You have to be older to even get a permit, and no license till your 18
right before my junior year of college.
passed it on the first go.
honestly, not a huge deal. i wouldn't have been able to obtain a car prior to that time anyways and i really needed some time to build up courage to drive. due to personal reasons, i am and have been petrified to drive but it was something i need/ed to get over.
I had to pay out of pocket for professional driving lessons.
It took me 20 lessons and 2 shots at the driving exam to pass. I failed the first exam horribly, I think I racked up like 95 points in 5 minutes and the examiner was kind of Satan.
17 or last year. I haven't used it though. I went to a parking lot once or twice that's it. I'm not big on driving. Kinda funny considering I love watching cars race. XD Oh well, maybe later on I'll want the freedom and try to learn then.
It's only my beginners lisence anyways right now so XD
