I’m 24 and I still don’t have a license. I can’t afford proper insurance for myself, let alone a car, and I’d certainly need it considering the way the people drive here. 
Got most of the costs covered as a present (18, yay?) and it took me about 5 months to get the necessary stuff done, then got me the licence itself.
I also have a '99 Punto to go with it nowdays :x
I got my learner’s permit like 3 months from my 16th birthday but got my license on my birthday.
And jeez Crotanks is 17? You look like 30
edit: Actually I already knew that. You still look 30
Yeah, I’ve always been curious about whether or not I could buy alcohol without getting carded
Yes! This is exactly the reason I waited four years longer than I had to to get my license.
Driver’s liscence? What for? Like I keep telling my mom, I’ve got a bike.
I got mine when I was 18. I got it a lot later than I should have mostly, mostly because I was lazy and procrastinated.
Yeah, so I failed the driving test today. Went down the road, did a turn about, pulled under a tree to over night park, but when I switched gears to pull out I got nervous/excited becuase I knew I only had to parallel park after that, and I’d be done. Anyway, I ended up accelerating in reverse for a split second due to that, so I’ve gotta do it again next week.
Anyone else fail their first time? Cause I feel damn stupid right now XD
I got mine when I was 18. A few days after 9/11, as fate would have it.
And I did fail my first driving test. The guy was a prick and put me on edge cause he ran the thing like a drill sergeant, and I turned on a red light which you were not allowed to turn on. The second time, the guy was real nice and I passed.
I think it really depends on what instructor you get.
I got my permit when I was 15, passed the test the first time when I should have failed, but the teacher didn’t really want to drive with me ever again. I forgot to get my license 6 months later. So I think I wound up with my licence when I was 17. And I still can’t drive. ^^
