Now all I need is a car. :think:

wtf? i had to wait until i was 16 to get my PERMIT, 16 1/2 for license. how old were you when you got your permit?
That is because we live in massachusetts, alot of other states you can get it at 16, like vermont.
My opinion is that they should make both the permit test, and the lisense test Alot harder. So that there is no age requirement, but whenever you can pass the test, you can get your permit/lisense, age has nothing to do with it. We should really be weeding out the dumbasses. Insurence rates would go down, and everyone would be happier.

You just suck at driving.

I have had my license for 14 months now.

No tickets, No accidents, No being pulled over.

I finally made an appointment with the DMV to take my driving test, so I'll have mine (if all goes well) by next week. I get to drive my parent's old VW hippy van, which is awesome because I can fit my DH bike and a ton of other stuff in it.

I got my permit around 15 1/2, and I've been 16 for a few months. I've been a slacker though.

I got my first speeding ticket two days after getting my license. I actually wasn't speeding but got passed by some guy who was, when the police officer looked up from the radar gun he saw me. A case of mistaken identity. Went to court and the oficer dropped the charges after talking to him in the lobby.

And what do YOU know of safe driving, Mr Carbon Fiber Crusher?

(Is it too soon to joke?)

I've had my license for three years...I've totaled one car, one ticket in said totaling, and been pulled over at least fifteen times...

Never gotten a ticket in those fifteen times. Frigging small town Utah cops.

Chris wrecked something! *points and laughs*

No no you got it all wrong ! Stupid driving is what you do in crappy cars ! J turns in a crappy handmedown 4cylinder solara anyone ?
dude. the solara wasn't introduced until, what, 1999? an import, and a mid-level car at that, from 1999ish is not a crappy hand me down in my book.

I'd rather be going 115mph in an '05 330ci on a two lane with the top down...

Wee bit more of an adrenaline rush. :biggrin:
