Driving

Do you drive? If not, are you just too young, or do you not want to drive?

I have my license.

I'm too young, but I'm planning on getting my permit and then my license right when I'm old enough.

I've had my license for about 8 years and 11 months. Something like that. I do most of the driving in my household.

Meh. I don't see what the big fuss is about driving. I'm a 14-year-old sophmore, so most of the kids in my grade at least have their temps. I personally won't be able to drive until my senior year, but none of my friends will either (overprotective parents :P ) so I don't feel too bad about it.

The question is, though...If I had my license, where would I go?

I have my G1, which is the Canadian equivalent to a learner's permit. I don't like driving though, so I don't.

I just got my full license a few months ago ... :D In Australia we have to stay on a 'provisional' license for 3 years, which has a few restrictions.

Anyway, so the answer is yes. Driving is fun! Especially manual transmission, that's the "real" driving ;)

I'd be in that group that doesn't care. I could have gotten my license years ago, but I don't have a car, and even if I did, I would never drive it. I don't really need one right now, and when I do need transportation, the bus is a much cheaper alternative (and lots of fun, creepy people to take note of). All of the other places I need to go are in walking/biking distance.

Personally I would like to move to that plcae in California where biking is huge alternative to driving automobiles. Sounds like it would be great. :)

I have had my learner's for a little over a month now, and I'm really enjoying it. I'm still in that stage where I'm a little freaked out if I go more than 25 mph, though. :oops: I'm getting better about that, on the bright side.

Don't have it yet. I was too lazy to start learning last year when I had the time, and now i'm busy with school work, but i'm trying to fit in driving lessons here and there.

I don't have mine though I could have done for the last 4 or 5 years. Firstly I couldn't afford it due to scraping through uni and then for the last year (when I was planning to do so) I couldn't due to neck injury. So for the poll, none of the above I guess, heh. At the moment I could learn as long as they only let me drive forwards xD

Hopefully I'll be able to learn after xmas as I really really want to ^^
