16 1/2 for me...16 and 1 month for my son...18 for my daughter. It took her that long to realize that a drivers license is directly proportional to the grades she brings home

 

Tim (wrecksimple03) -- 16th birthday Day. Got his permit as early as he could (15) so he had a year on his permit. Had to explain to him why it wasn't a good idea to take his test in the 944 !

 

Motorcycle liscense at 14. Restricted driver's liscense at the same time. South Dakota allows school/farm permits at 14 where you are limited to driving from 6am to 8pm unless your parents are in the car. When you turn 16 you are then granted a regular operator's license providing you have completed driver's ed.

 

I think I was 16 and a couple months and got my first speeding ticket within a few weeks.

I dated a girl in college who didn't get her's until after we graduated. She didn't really need one living on Bainbridge Island.

 

First ticket would be another great thread..

<back on topic of obtaining license..>
The look of horror on the tester's face when this pearl white '69 Grand Prix..the 455 rumbling thru the dual cherry bombs at 800rpm's. The quick blip to 3000 unleashing a very small part of over 550hp's at the top end.. The functional shaker hood scoop pirated from a 16 Poncho T/A..

I thought he was gonna faint.

 

16 years and one week.

Got my permit, 5hr, and road test all within one week

I got my permit a week after I turned 16, then didn't end up getting my license 'til 21 months later.

 

I got my permit the shortly after I turned 15 and my license the day I turned 16

 

15 here...

 

I have absolutely no idea when I got my license. It was before senior year of HS because I remember driving to school then. Had a kid in my drivers ed class at school who yelled "His face looks like an Elk Burger!!!" when they showed Blood Runs Red on the Highway or whatever the macabe' Faces of Death film they showed to scare you. Elks were our school mascot and the cafeteria served gross soybeaned Elk Burgers.

I guess you had to be there. I remember laughing so hard at the time I nearly pissed myself.

Only other thing about drivers ed I rememnber is taking a drive in the schools Geo Prizm with three other students and we took the drivers ed teacher to the sporting goods store so he could buy shotgun shells. Hmmm...whats for dinner I thought.

 

Got my permit shortly after I turned 16, and my license 6 months after. Parents made me wait until I turned 17 before getting a car though (my 944). Before that, I shared a car with my mom.

edit- Oh, and I got my first speeding ticket last Thursday. 4 years after I got my license. I guess it was about time I got caught.

 

The day I turned 16. I missed one on the written test, 1 on the driving test.

Now when did you do your first autocross?
My son did that the day after he got his liscense.

 

15 something - it was a motorcycle license. Took Driver's Ed then as well. Got my car license the same week I turned 16.

 

16th Birthday came home w/ my license and a TR7 convertible w/o my parents having any knowledge of it. I think I took a couple of years of my old mans clock that afternoon.

 

The Monday after I turned 16, I got my learner's. Passed the New Driver's test and Full License test with 3 errors each. Got my first car, an '81 Mustang at the beginning of grade 11. Been driving accident and ticket free for over 6 years! *knocking on wood particle composite computer desk*
