Title: I just got my license!
Post by: Java on January 15, 2010, 09:32:10 AM
I just took the test today and I officially have my license and can now drive by myself!

The test was pretty easy and my examiner seemed pretty nice, so that helped.
Waiting at the DMV was terrible though.

How many of you guys can drive? Who has a Learner's Permit/Restricted or Driver's License?
For those of you with Driver's Licenses, how did your test go?

I've had my License for years, my examiner was nice to let me retry something I messed up on the first try

Learners.  I get scared when I'm behind the wheel.

Permit, I took the test a little bit ago and failed for going too slow (no sign posted), and it was like 2 minutes away from the DMV too..... He said I did almost perfectly besides that, he also said he liked me for whatever reason.
Though in a way, it's good I failed, because I forgot that if I passed, I'd get my picture put on a license, and I wasn't really ready for a picture.

I've had my license for 4 years now.
...Apparently I'm kind of a bad driver.
Except for now, because I'm super careful.

Over here, you get your picture on your Permit as well.
They also take your picture BEFORE you take the test for your license, so everyone comes out looking extremely nervous.

I have my license, I passed on the first try. The only problems were I took a left turn too sharp and took too long to change lanes.

I have a learner's permit, but I haven't had a lot of practice driving.  I'll go take the driving test in February.

License for almost two years now.
Not one accident, except getting a love tap once and another time love tapping a cop myself.... fffffff
Been pulled over twice, once for a dead tail light and another for speeding. Never got a ticket.

My permit test was nothing. I actually laughed out loud while taking it at how simple it was.
My road test I passed on my first try, but very nervously.

Well, I have my License (as if everyone here DIDN'T know that).

So far, a couple near accidents (one was me taking a left turn on a slick road too fast... scared the hell out of me... so glad I managed to regain control... others were others not noticing I was in the lane RIGHT BESIDE THEM).

I've had my license almost 2 years now. I am an amazing driver and I'd never been pulled over until last night when I made an illegal Uturn. The cop was a bro and let me off without a ticket though.

And it's not that I never do anything illegal, I always do illegal things, there just usually aren't cops watching.  8)

I've had mine for a couple years now. Although to be honest I don't like driving, to me its more of a chore than some cool thing I can finally do.

I mean you can be doing everything you're supposed to & some idiot will come pulling out of a driveway at 50 mph & almost total you.

And then you sue him out of house and home.

I've had my license for a while, about two years. Nice thing is, I didn't have to take the test at the DMV because I took the co-op test at school with the behind the wheel teacher and passed. All I had to do was walk up in there, wait, wait, wait, wait... then go get my license pic taken... Dad won't let me drive either of the cars though because he's an poop hole.

Only if he hits you, & usually guys who do this miss me by a foot & flip me off as they speed off. God I hate Utah drivers

You'd still pass, I think I missed 3.

Exactly. You would have the right of way, no way around it. He'd be totally intercourse ed.

Oh yeah, so guys, I got my license when I was still technically 17. On the license thingy it says I have to wait 12 months before I can drive anyone under 20, there are also certain times it said I couldn't drive during.
Do those rules still apply even though I'm 18 now?
(Oh, and THANKS FOR ALL THE "Happy Birthday" MESSAGES GUYS [/sarcasm])

I actually didn't know thats why the names went white, my bad. Happy Late-but-still-counts Birthday!

And to the 12 months thing, it didn't for me, I had mine for 3 months before I turned 18 & after that I didn't have to worry about that rule.

But I live in Utah, so it might be different for you.

I actually just got mine on Saturday, passed on the first try.

I also already had my car, insurance was paid for; so I've been driving by myself for the last few days.

If they allow you to drive minors by 18 then that over-rules the 12 month thing.

I got my driver's license after 2 tries. 1st time I completely failed parallel parking. (It's required to parallel park even though people never have to here. >_>; ) And the 2nd time I did it perfectly and got the license. I was so happy that day. :)
