twinkietwin94 July 10, 2017 Share July 10, 2017 I had to take the driving test twice, first time as soon as the examiner walked out I knew I was screwed. She was well known for flunking everyone who took the test on their first try. I made a right turn out of the parking lot on red after stopping. She told me I flunked right then because I cut someone off, which was complete BS bc there was no one beside me or in the lane next to me but I was so not going to argue with a highway patrol officer. She made me do the rest of the test. My dad took me to a different location a week later and I was really worried bc the guy I had been dating said there was a hard a$$ there too, a German lady. Sure enough who walks out the German lady and I'm just dreading the test, we walk to the front past some little kid who sneezed and she said "sounds like someone has a cold" I nearly laughed out loud that the recently ex BF and his buddies were scared of this woman, she was just a kindly old grandma, and tiny at that. I'm 5' 1 1/2" she was shorter than me, exbf was 6 ft tall. She was so nice, I parallel parked she looked at the placement and said "this isn't your favorite parking place is it?" then let me do it again, she didn't even take points off when I bumped the cone and bent it over pulling out. This was ummm yeah hold on let me think almost 25 years ago. HOLY FU............ yeah now I feel old. Link to comment

EricaShadows July 11, 2017 Share July 11, 2017 (edited) I don't really remember taking my driving test, but I do remember having the simulators in high school. I learned on a manual stick shift at the time and some of the people in my class at the time were saying how they couldn't drive a stick shift and if they had to drive a stick shift for any part of the class, they might not pass. This was when the high schools had actual driver's ed classes and vehicles for the students to learn in. Now, they've gotten rid of the driver's ed class, the simulators and the cars so anyone who wants to learn how to drive has to learn how to with a family member or go to a driving school. I learned to drive 23 years ago, in 1994, but didn't actually get my license until I was almost 18 though I had my permit since taking the class. Also, my mom was scared that I wouldn't know how to drive anywhere because she had never seen me look up from a book when I was in the back seat. Edited July 11, 2017 by EricaShadows Link to comment

It makes me chuckle you Americans calling it a stick shift. Most people here learn to drive a manual car. 2 Link to comment

I didn't end up getting my license until 22 after I graduated from college. Since there's no drivers ed in school you have to take a 2 week long drivers ed course and do 6 hours of road work with an instructor. It's nice to go to driving school already knowing how to drive a bit. My class was filled with 17-18 year old high schoolers and since I already knew how to drive I was one of the designated drivers to all the activities. Driving is fun once you get over the initial anxiety. It's so great to be able to get around by yourself. Don't worry, you will be fine! Edited July 11, 2017 by LaurelleJ Link to comment

There were 5 or so courses they used and they would ask you to recall traffic signs as soon as you passed them. My course had a right turn on red. The anxiety! Me too! Hey neighbor!

I was such a little contrary brat to my mother that I love seeing stories of people who actually listen haha. I once went to a woman for my hair who told me she always listened to her mother, and her mother wanted her to be a nurse, so that was that. After one year in school she worked up the nerve to tell her mother she hated it and wanted to be a hair stylist, and the rest is history :) Link to comment
LaurelleJ July 11, 2017 Share July 11, 2017 they forced my brother to get his license, signed him up for driving school and making him drive. With me it was the complete opposite. I wanted to get my license at 16 but they wouldn't let me because my brother was 22 and didn't have his yet. If I hadn't went out and did everything on my own I still may not have it at 30! 1 Link to comment
twinkietwin94 July 11, 2017 Share July 11, 2017 it's interesting to me how many people didn't get their license at 16 (my hubby didn't) I was the last to turn 16 in my group of friends and the first to get a license. As a matter of fact I took one of my friends to take her written test when she finally passed it on the fourth try (She was not a great student back then which is hilarious to me bc she now teaches college) it took her three tries to pass the driving test. Needless to say she's not the best driver, funniest memory was the time she called me and told me she'd gotten two tickets in the same night in the same intersection 20 min apart. smh yeah the rest of us did most of the driving bc we didn't want to get in a car with her LOL On another note, taking kiddo to orchestra camp this morning and he hooks up his phone to the car stereo and turns on Everything Is Awesome from the Lego Movie and I'm sitting there thinking I'd kill to see the DCC dance to that song. 1 Link to comment
bigskygirl July 11, 2017 Share July 11, 2017 Don't feel bad I did get my license until I was 36. I did try to learn before, but I would get nervous and scared. I think a big part of it was the fact I was hit by a car before my fourth birthday causing me to almost lose my left kidney (small laceration,) spent two weeks in the hospital and was lucky I survived. My husband was the one who was brave enough to teach me. The first time I drove a car a sheriff deputy stopped to see if everything was alright because we were pulled over on a dirt road near our house. My husband laughed and said I was learning to drive. They both smiled and laughed, and I was a nervous wreck because I already made contact with a deputy without driving one mile. A year later we found out my husband was seriously ill and was in Acute Renal Failure. I was so glad I learned how to drive since it came in handy especially with my husband's illness. He would joked around with the dialysis unit staff by saying if he could survive teaching me how to drive he could survive dialysis and a transplant. Link to comment

Hummingbird24 July 12, 2017 Share July 12, 2017 For the record, I'm drinking a big old can of cellulite right now. i want to share I've never smoked a cigarette, I didn't take a drink of alcohol until I was married (19), and have drank 5 times in the last 3-4 years, never done any type of drug, except prescriptions. I eat right, worked out like crazy, and even work dadgum sunscreen in this sauna called Texas. I did everything right. i have had two strokes, MS, CRPS, Addison's disease, arthritis, and now, for the grand finale, lupus!! My Two grandfathers: one drank like crazy, smoked like a chimney, fried everything, hardly exercised and lived to be 80 and took nothing but cholesterol meds. my other one smoked for a good while, didn't really drink, but was a sheriff until he was 79, got Alzheimer's at 81 and died at 82. He could still take people down until the end. my aunt was like me. Did everything right. Died at 44 of cancer. makes you think. 8 minutes ago, heatherrrrz said: I just made two small colourpop singles palettes. I bought naked heat but returned it since I didn't like the formula.
