So, who DOESN'T have their license??

[HotI]

Being a passenger in a car scares me way more than being the driver. I couldn't survive without my license. Living in the country makes it more of a necessity than if i was in metro area too.

I got my L's the day I turned 16, I got my P'S when DS was 11 months old! (Only 2 years ago) I now have 1 month to go and I will have my full license (yaya!!!) took me long enough...Dp got sick of chauferring me everywhere, we also moved about an hours drive from my parents place, which was a bus and two trains for me not driving, ahh its so much easier now!
BUT , ever since I have started driving my rear end is just getting bigger, and bigger.. (not to mention the rest of me!)

interesting fact: I have a complete photographic record of me since I was 16, every nine months, getting another L's photo taken, LOL

I should probably mention I'm 31 now!

I got my L's through high school because I did a drivers ed short course. (1999)

I didn't go for my P's until 2005, the year before DD was born. Before that I didn't have a need to drive, my boyfriends always had cars and when I met and moved in with DH we were so close to everything I still didn't need it and he wanted to drive.

I think it's a good thing to have, even if just an auto licence.

Me too! DH says I'm a terrible passenger, all jumpy and not trusting - I tell him it's not that I don't trust him, I don't trust all those other idiots out on the road. I feel in more control of things when I'm driving as I'm a lot more careful than him.

Even though I've been driving for years, I am considering booking in to complete a defensive driving course in my new car, as it's a lot bigger than the ones I've driven previously. Could be worth looking into for those still on Ls or Ps too, as it does give you a lot more confidence

Get your licence! You wont know yourself!! I waited til I was 22 to get my L's.. Drove on my L's for ages and stupidly got done DUI, so lost it.. Drove whilst disqualified and lost it for a further 2yrs.. After that however I grew up a bit (Thank God!!) and went back on my L's after my disqualification was up and I have now been on my opens for a year!!!

I love being able to drive and could never lose my licence again.. I was so stupid when I was younger, but I'm glad to say I have definitely learnt my lesson!!!

I can't imagine not having my licence. I got mine at 18 and have never looked back. When I was 18 it took 2 hours each way to get to school on PT so it was a blessing to get my licence as it cut it down to 45minutes each way.

Me!! Had my L Plates since I was 16, but Dad was a bad teacher and I just can't be bothered.... really need to get onto it.

[Cranky Kitten]

Do eet!

I swear there were nights when DD was little and a bit unsettled, the only way to get her to sleep was to pop her in the car and go for a drive around the block a few times.

My mum has never had her licence has had her L's before but never got her licence and she is now 60. Dad drives her everywhere or she catches the bus (live in small country town).

I got my L's at 18 and P's just before 21.

Both my brothers have been slow as well!! 1 brother got his L's at 25 or 26 and got his P's some time after he is 30 in oct and has just gone to full licence last week! Other brother got L's at 19 and P's at 21 (has no car and has not driven since he got his licence)

If I lived near public transport, and it was good, I dont think I would need a licence. But I got mine as soon as I turned 18, I was eager to get out of the house and that was the only way how!
You should get your licence! It's like a different sense of freedom!

[JennaJayen]

I don't have mine, been putting it off since I lost my second angel as a passenger in a car accident, dreading getting them but I know I'll have to if hubby gets into fly-in/fly-out work.

[BeautifulMadness]

im about to go off my green p's....

gosh i didnt get onto my l's till i was 23 i think it was....my motivation ws to show my DH that i could do it

now having kids....i couldnt imaging not having it....i say go for it

[*LittleMissSummer*]

Thanks everyone

When DP finally gets his p's i will be going for my l's so now to push and nag him

[Jewel]

I couldn't imagine not having a license either. I live in the country so public transport isn't that great compared to cities and all that. I got my P's when I was 17.

Once you have them you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. Good luck with it all. You won't regret it.
