wa;ehgd;gh I DID EVERYTHING CORRECTLY MINUS GOING OVER THE SPEED LIMIT A BIT. ;zehgd;dfh *Rips hair out* I even got the parallel parking correct the first try.
 Anywho, as I was telling Cliff (he lives in Texas, mind you) this, he asked how I did with the written test, but in Pennsylvania, we don't need to take one - just a road test - in order to acquire your license. So we can get our permits at 16 and eligible for the test at 16 1/2. How is it in your states?

We have to take a written test, and we can get our permits after the test at 15 1/2. We have to hold the permit for at least 6 months before taking the road test and getting our license at 16. We have to drive umm 50 hours prior to it and 10 hours of it at night. Plus, we have a curfew for 3 months of having our license..it was before 10 I think. And we cannot drive anyone under 18 until we are 18..but I don't understand because a bunch of people under 18 never followed that rule :P

Eh, don't worry about it, you'll get it. When I was 16 in MA we had to pass a written and a driving test, though.
EDIT// Just read the whole question... When we were 15 we could do the written test and get a permit. At 16, you did your road test after you earned so many (I think 25) hours of experience. |

Mm ours is sixth months as well with fifty hours, but we don't have the ten-hours-of-it-at-night thing. You only have curfew for three months?!
 We have it until we get our Senior Licenses.

Here, when you get your license under eighteen years of age, you get a Junior License. When you turn eighteen, it turns into a Senior License and everything is good. With the Junior License, you have a curfew at eleven.. and I think there are other things. Senior Licenses are the regular licenses. Basically, Pennsylvania is lame.

^ Holy crap, that's terrible! What if you're like me and you've been working the graveyard shift (5 PM to 3 AM) at the same job since age 15?

Oh in that case, if you get some kind of permission or proof from your employer and you somehow get caught (driving past curfew is a second offense, so you have to have been doing something else obviously wrong before getting a ticket for driving out late), you're good. I know because I volunteer at a haunted house with my friends and they're all my age.. so we had to get slips signed for when we drove home.

I have to wait another two years just to try to get my permits. -___-
I think in NY, you have to take both the written and road test. I'm not sure though. |

In Indiana, we can get our permits at age 15, no driver's ed required... and actually, you're not required to take driver's ed - an adult can teach you, but if you go that route, there's extra tests.. so no one does that. Why no driver's ed? Because we have lots of hicks out here that drive trucks at age 13 and tractors at age 8. I'm not one of them, really I'm not. I "live in the city"
So... we can get our licenses at age 16 and one month after we've passed the written and driving tests. But my license branch was so stupid that they forgot to give me my driver's test... I kept my mouth shut  and got my license anyway. HAHAHA. My friends hate me for that.

My friends hate me for that.In Pennsylvania we don't have to take driver's ed, either, although there are classes offered and schools, but I guess that's because the parents are too lazy.  Gah it seems like everywhere one can be fifteen for the permit! Not fair!

Kathleen, I just failed my test today too.
*Screams* I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT TOO!!!!!! Parallel parking = check Turnabout = check Backing up = check. I bascially passed, until right when he told me to pull over he said, "You just stopped a foot past the stop sign. You failed." aslhfkjsdhfksdjfhakjsdhfkjshfjkdshfks. So make sure to come to a complete stop right before the stop sign. Right before that freakin' white line. FKJSDHF:KLDSFHLKSDF |

 Doesn't it just kill you? I know it killed me - I mean you would think you wouldn't get the major things right, like paralell parking. Noooo it's the stupid things. He made you pull over? My instructor was evil - he made me continue - here I thought I had passed since he didn't say anything.

Basically, the only way you can pass is if you drive like an old lady
That's against my code of honor. |

O_o kathleen.
>_> All you have to do is relax. Collect your thought's and imagine yourself doing decent. you don't have to be perfect. just pretend the instructor isn't there next to you judging every move. Silly Check list you should memorize for next time. Get In Car. Fasten Seat belt. Start Ignition. Check ALL Mirrors At Start. (NO RADIO ON driving instructors find it offensive) Emergency Brake (Release) Foot On Brake Switch Gears Release foot on break (treat gas pedal like an egg. Have foot lightly set upon it) Press gas don't go above (25mph) Both hands on the Wheel. (continuesly check mirrors during driving every 5-15 sec) (Try to have you main focus directed towards the road. Do not turn your head to talk to the instructor) Make sure you use turn signals on every turn. When parellel parking(on the right). use the mirrors on your right hand side. AND REMEMEBR OBJECTS APPEAR CLOSER THEN THEY REALLY ARE. On the left The Mirror is more Acurate. And last but not least(Switch gears to park. pull Emegency Break after completion of parking excersize) Good luck kathleen

Permit at 15 (written test), license at 16 (driving test), and I don't really remember the laws beyond that. I've had my permit for about a year and a half now...heh.

Dude, I failed my test the first time for the same reason.
Here, you get your permit at 15, the day you turn 16 you can take your written test, and a month after you turn 16 you can take the road test and get your license. |

Here in BC, Canada, at 16 you can take your written test to get your L or permit then after 1 year or 9 months if you take driving school, you take your road test to get your N which is a license with a lot of retarded rules. After 2 years, you can take another road test to get your full license. It's stupid.
