lisense

i finally got my lisense today, it felt weird not to have my dad in the car. man i am excited, i feel freeerish. i still have to call them to tell them where i am going but better than them driving me around.

Congrats! Life has just taken a turn for the better.

Just don't crash the C280. Well done

Bravo Snead, Bravo!

Good for you man we're proud. Now insted of setting on here talking about them u can get out and really drive it!!!
 
Cause ur dad ain't around.

thanks, it feels good. i try my best not to crash it. Is it only in virginia that u can only get ur lisense when you are 16 and 3 months or is it that way in other states?

Some states are worse.
 
I live in MD and i got my License in 2001 and u have to drive 40hrs with parents, go to drivers ed and have had learners for 4 months and be at least 16 and one month. And u could not drive between 12am-5am. Without a reason until u were at least 17 and 7months with no moving violations. i think it has gotten harder now i aint sure though

Dang mbz! Did they request a DNA sample and your school transcripts from Kindergarten too???? Move to Hawaii. You can get your license their at 15. I think Germany is worse since you can't get a license until you're 18 and you have to attend a mandatory driving school that costs around $1500 then pay some outrageous amount of $$ for your actual license. Ahhhhhhh where have the good old days gone...A permit at 15 and free driving at 16???

This is how it is now!

Here is a quick link to look at it state by state

The DMV is nuts in MD. The 40hr thing is a fairly good idea, but I bypassed mine with about 34 bs hours. There's no absolute way to create decent drivers, just an absolute way to make the DMV more complicated and more time consuming...

Best way to have good drivers is teach them when they are younger i drove Farm tractors, and 4-wheelers since i was 8 or 9. Plus my dad was a truck driver so i knew the rules of the road listening to him complain about what other drivers were doing wrong!

there is no subsitution for practice. i got way more than 40 hours when i got my lisense. but i am still not a great driver. my dad is an awseome driver only because he prcaticed in his driveway when he was like 13 until he got his lisense. BTW the 40 hour thing is the samr in VA ecept 10 of those have to be after sunset, and you have to go to some type of drivers ed. also you can't drive from 12 to 4 at night and that lifts when you turn 18. and you can only have one person in the car until after your 1st year of driver unless you are eighteen.  there are just too many rules.
