When did you get your license?

[IPD]

I got my license when I turned 19, but I was driving before than.

this. i was probably driving since i was 8-10 (sitting on my dad's lap; i steer, he uses the pedals). never really needed a car, the town i grew up in has 13,000 people; so i could ride my bike pretty much anywhere i needed to go. finally broke down and got a car after freshman year in college. 88 ford escort GL. better gas mileage than a prius.

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...

Where the hell do you live? I dont know of anywhere in Australia (even quite a few years ago) that hands out licenses at 15.

I got my L's at 16 years and 9 months then full license at 17.

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

Ah, the good 'ol days. I miss that bike. I left it home my freshman year of college and was going to bring it up the summer between. But my Step Dad decided to sell it and keep the money. I paid for the bike, but the title was in his name. I'm still pissed off about that. He basically stole $3K from me and told me to stop complaining. This was one of those straws that broke the camels back situations, tt was the next week that I moved out on my own never to stay again. My room was already turned into a 3rd office (yes 3) during my senior year of high school.

I too am surprised how many people got theirs at 15. I was the only one in my class of over 500 at the time!
