Driving tests are so hard today. i remember when i took my written test when i was 14 (im 31 now) it took me 6 minutes. and i passed with 100. and my actual driving test was 3 left hand turns and park back in the lot :) this was in georgia :lol:

ive never taken another driving test, only had 1 ticket my whole life, sometimes the easier the test, the more confident the driver feels :)

I'm taking mine this wednesday, May 23. I studied the handbook for the Rules of the Road in Illinois that we got from the DMV office and I also went online to their site. I studied and answered all the questions. I did well. I hope I will do well this wednesday. Wish me luck :thumbs:

I'm sure it varies from state to state, but what I did when I was 16 - there was a learners booklet at the DMV, I grabbed that, made myself flash cards, and bugged my 14 year old brother to sit and help me, with offers of free car rides someday :P

Really wish I could. I'm just as frustrated with the things they get away with as most people. But I was trying to help Jeh with her driving, not control immigration. Even the federal gov't, with all it's controls/power, can't do that. :blink:

I'm working with my 16 year old daughter to get her license. To be honest, she scares the sh!t out of me sometimes! I have a Toyota Sequoia and I believe it to be too large of a car to learn how to drive. I'll have to start it over again when my fiancee' gets here. Then again in a couple of years with another daughter! Then another daughter a 5 years from now! :help:

lol thank goodness we have a long wait! Our boys are 6, 5, and 2. I honestly don't want to think of any of them behind the wheel of a car! You should get a medal for that ;) I learned to drive in a 1985 Chrystler Station Wagon. My friends at school called it "grandmas golden grocery getter" I hated parallel parking that #######!

At least your first to learn how to drive was a 1985. I learned on a 1974 Ford Torino station wagon! But when I got my first car, it was a 1974 Pinto Runabout! That damn car broke down on me wherever I went. I couldn't believe I used to date fanatically in that car! But I guess back then, if you were mobile, you could date regardless of what you showed up in! ;)

I had my written exam today and I passed it. I only have one mistake, the guy said I am allowed 7 mistakes. Anyway, I have my instruction permit now and i can legally take driving lessons from my husband now. He taught me how to drive last Sunday and I really loved it. Now, I am always asking him when would be the next time he can teach me.

The exam I had consists of 20 multiple questions and 15 questions on signs. I answered all the signs right and one mistake on the multiple questions. My only advise to you is to read the questions and the answers carefully. They are very tricky. Goodluck.
