I was 23 when I started lessons and I was so scared at first. You'll stop being scared when you've had time and practice in the car. I had a really good instructor which helped. 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 started lessons at 14 with my parents, they made me learn on a manual car first. But they were the ones scared for me to drive. 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.
