When did you get your license?

[thestealth]

I got my license and started driving legally at age 14 in 8th grade.

Age 14 because I'm from South Dakota

Must be a central states thing. I got my learners permit at 14, that allowed me to drive to and from work or school.

I didn't get mine until 18. Drivers ed wasn't offered at my school, and being poor I couldn't afford the classes until I finally got a job. I wouldn't have been able to buy a car during HS anyway, so it didn't matter much.

Yeah technically it was a learners permit but it allowed me to drive from 6am to 10pm until I was 16. Probably because public transport just doesn't work for most of the places around here.

Which reminds me. We bought the stealth in April of 2005. I was 15 with my permit driving a Durango and pulling home the stealth on a trailer while my dad slept next to me. And thennn, I hit bumper to bumper traffic with semis in Chicago. Now THAT is a real driving test!

Nice, I did the same thing..bikes are cheap fun. Started on a little suzuki gz250. Just enough power to drive highway speeds haha.

1975 That was when I got my drivers license. However I got my Pilots license in 1974 before I could drive.

Haha, I had a Honda NX 250. It is scary when I think about it now, I used to take that little thing on the interstate at 70+ with semis. hahaha

Yeah I hear ya! I could maybe get 75 out of it, but that was wide open so any gust of wind would slow me down. I used to take a lot of back roads so I could avoid the higher speed limits lol. Oh the good 'ole days. We still have it actually. Only has like 3000 miles. Works great for when company shows up on holidays

Used to be able to do that here, I found out the hard way in 92 it was no more. Pissed me off as the learners permit(what we get here at 15) did me no good to ride my scooter.

Got my full operators license the day I turned 16, which you're not supposed to be able to do until you turn 18. For the life of me I still can't remember how I pulled it off, haha.

Motorbike and a car at 15. The day of my birthday. I look back now and think no-one should get a license until 18 minimum... There would be way less "stupid" deaths. With that a defensive Driving and skid test and open license straight away if passed. Also old people should have to not only have to go to a Doc for approval but also do a actual driving test to show that they can still drive...
