At what age did you get your Drivers license?

At what age did you get your drivers license and who taught you to drive?

I got mine at age 16 and DH taught me to drive. I didn't get much road time in my drivers ed class, it was more classroom. I couldn't wait to get my drivers license!!

 

[m&m's mom]

I got mine at 14.
In NM you could get your license at 15 and we used our ranch address so I could claim I needed to drive myself to school from the country.
We really stayed in town, but I really wanted to drive. I had truly been driving since I was 8 on the ranch so it was nothing new.
I guess I started to learn to drive by sitting on my Mom's lap from the time I was 5 and stearing.
I still am not such a great driver though!

I was 22. We lived in a city with a good tranist system, so I didn't really need to drive. I learned through Young Drivers of Canada.

I got mine at age 16. I couldn't wait to drive . I know some people who waited late (in their 20's) to get there license.

I was 16, about 2 months before my 17th birthday.

I waited 3 months to get my Permit, took Driver's Ed in the summer and had to put off some of my Driving Hours with the school because I dislocated my knee and had to let it heal.

My Dad was the first to really teach me how to drive/parallel park/reverse. Mom and Driving school were more like practice

I was either 21 or 22. I was in the Army in Germany and a Sergeant told me to move a truck from one location to another. I asked him "How?". He said to just drive it like a car. I told him I had never been behind the wheel of a car or truck in my life. So I learned to drive in Germany in an Army 2.5 Ton truck with a five speed transmission.

guess i'm the oldeset so far! lol i was 28, it took me having a kid to get my butt behind the wheel!!! i took lessons from a driving course here, cus we have graduated licensing and if you go with a course you can get your program done in three vs not goign and having to do it in 6.

funny thing is i was one of the first ones to turn 16 in my hs classes and just never went and did it.

I was 18. My dad said he was tired of chauffeuring me around. So I finally made an effort to get my license. I got my learner's permit when I was 16, just got lazy.

16. My dad taught me. he was a former Driver's Ed teacher, and he was NOT lovey dovey towards my driving education.

16 1/2 I got it on the last day my permit expired! My parents took me out of school to go get it. I remember getting called to the office during my American History class, the teacher HATED when people left during his class. I had NO idea they were taking me out so I couldn't warn him. I believe I got growled at walking out the door. He was one of my favorite teachers. Learned more from him than almost any other teacher!

I was 16. My mom taught me how to drive waay before then though. I practiced in parking lots when I was like 13. She taught me how to drive a stick shift too!!

16 1/2 - my Dad
I learned to drive in Dads late 70's Datsun B210 4 speed station wagon.

 

[WhateverLolaWants]

I was 16 and finally passed on my third attempt (one more fail and I would have had to repeat things). My parents didn't really let me practice my driving, so I learned mostly from the driving school. Except my driving instructor was mean and just generally nuts and made me take her on sightseeing tours including driving past Jeffrey Dahmer's house.

I got my license on my 16th birthday. My Dad let me sit on his lap and steer until I was tall enough to use my toes to work the gas and brake.

That was over 40 years ago and go my first speeding ticket last week.Darn cop did not care I had a perfect driving record.

I was 25. I always used the subways, so I didn't get the urge to drive until I had my first child.

 

[maelstrom]

I got my license when I was 18 and my dad taught me how to drive when I was 17. I didn't even get my permit when I turned 16 because I had no car to drive, so I figured, why bother learning how to drive if I don't have a car. And I was content with that. Then I had a dream one night that told me that I should learn how to drive. I told my dad, and also said that I needed my own car. So, he bought me a (used!) car.
