Who's Driving?

I'm a terrible, terrible driver. I've failed the driver test 6 times (no joke!) and this is the one the cool driver's ed teacher gives you. So I'm 16 years old in the 11th grade stuck on the big yellow bus. -Keep In Mind this is in Alabama so there's no public transportation- Anyone else understand. (I've been looking for a job for ages.)

It's okay, I've a lot younger then pretty much everyone in my grade (six days after I turn sixteen, my friends are turning 17). I used to be a terrible driver. I failed my driver's test only once, but I practice like crazy.

So practice, practice, practice. I love driving... even though I hit my mailbox and dented my beautiful baby boy. And jobs aren't that fun... you actually don't one.

I didn't get my lisence until I was 18, I didn't want to get it, so I avoided it as long as possible. It worked cause my mom was willing to drive me places, and I had friends and older siblings that drove me everywhere, but once I got a job I had to get it. I was a bad driver for the first year I drove. I know it's cliche, but it's definitely practice, if you're going somewhere ask if you can drive. It's really the only way you get better.

I don't think I'm that bad at driving, except I lack confidence and I'm scared to practice because I think I'll hit someone or something. I scheduled my road test for November 10th, and 2 weeks ago I broke a metatarsal bone in my foot and I don't get the cast thing off until Novemeber 9th...so yeah, that should be interesting taking that without practicing for about 2 months. Ha.

License drama...

My parents moved to a different state in August. I live in Indiana, they live in Michigan. In order to stay with their auto insurance, I have to get a MI driver's license. I'll be in MI for Thanksgiving. Problem is, my 21st birthday (and the expiration of my license) is Nov. 2. So I have to get a new IN license before Nov. 2 so I don't have an expired license... then turn around a few weeks later and get another new license from MI. Oy!

Ugh, that'll probably be expensive, right, CostumeMistress?

License confession... I'm 19 and don't have mine yet! I've had my beginner's twice, but the second one expired in August. I haven't had the need to drive, and since my family only has one vehicle, there's not really much of a chance to get the car when I go home for holidays. My younger sister drives... that's enough for me. I'll probably get it before the summer. HOPEFULLY before I turn 20 in May!

Dear god in heaven, I love driving. Now that I'm in Jersey, I don't drive as much as I did when I lived in Georgia. I didn't get my liscence until I was eighteen, it didn't bother me then, but now, I have no idea how I waited so long.

Good lord, how do you people live? I just turned 18, and I've had my lisence for 2 years. I wouldn't be able to do ANYTHING without it. Then again, in Georgia, there's no public transportation.

I'm 16, 11th grade, and am only turning 17 for my Junior Liscence when I'll be a Senior, here in New York. So I lose out; but if I get to live in the City for college I won't need to know how to drive anyway! :)
All my friends are getting their Junior liscenses this year so they can drive me if I'm desperate!

It will be, Allie... but not as expensive as being caught with an expired IN licnese or getting into an accident and not being covered by insurance.
