What age did you get your driver's license?

[afinalfantasy]

I still haven't got mine yet. I'm 18 and I've tried driving a car, but I feel extremely enclosed in and it scares the crap out of me. My brother didn't get his till he was almost 30.

What about you guys?

I lost 2 points for not knowing right away where the hazard light button was. I'm surprised I learned anything considering the driving school I went to.

The woman who taught the classroom portion had pretty poor English compounded by the fact she spoke in practically a whisper.

All I remember about the driving "teacher" was that the first thing he told me was that if he was in another wreck he thought they'd fire him. Well, that and the sexual comments he made about my (then 13) neighbor the two times she was outside when he came to pick me up.

Back then we didn't have to drive with an adult either. No mater what time of the day or night. IIRC, that is. I'm old.

Haven't gotten mine yet, I'm getting my permit in like a week (I'm 16) and I'll probably get the license next summer.

About 15 tarted taking my Father's care when he was sleeping - finally got my license a few months later at 16.

Got my permit the day I turned 15 and my license the day I turned 16. Driving was pretty important to me and keeping up my schedule, so I made it a big priority...

16. Perfect score on my test.

[Dreagen]

Well, seeing that I start driver's ed next week and I'm 15, I should (hopefully) be getting my liscense while I'm still 16. (My birthday is in February)

16, just like 99.99% of the kids in PA at the time.

On the other hand my friend from NY didn't get his until after he moved here at age 26. He was from the Bronx, went to school in Philadelphia, and worked in Philly for several years after graduating from college. After he was getting married and moving to the Philly suburbs that he finally had to do get his license. Until then he either took mass transit, cabs, walked, or some combination of them. It was scary going anywhere with him for several years because it was like driving with a "kid" who just got his license. He just didn't have any experience and it wasn't until a few years went by that I was no longer terrified of him driving.

I'm 26, don't have one, and have never had one. back in high school, I did the math on how much it would cost me to buy a car, pay for insurance and upkeep, and pay for gas, and it worked out better to take a cab wherever I need to go. With the rising prices of gas, it's an even better deal for me now.

18.

18, after I got a job driving a van. I figgered the license might come in handy.

My bro didn't get one until he was 45. He biked everywhere building 'em up from the best parts. 60 mi/ a day was nothing to him. Now he never rides his bike!

I'm turning 19 in a month and I still don't have mine. I expect to have it in early 2009 though.
