Ashton got me thinking. (I know, be quiet.. )How old were you when you got your drivers license.
I'll start.
Age: 16 years and 1 month. Licensed in June 1976 (edited)
Here's the reason. My oldest son head to get his license before the Army would take him - he was 18 years and 6 months.
My youngest son will be 17 in March, and no desire to obtain a drivers permit. sheesh
(Where did I go wrong...

I was building a 79 Grand Prix 454, 4 spd for a year prior to starting drivers ed. It was to be finished on my 16th birthday (A huge undertaking mostly oo my own, I traded it for a 66 corvair a year later..it was WAAY to fast, 1.68 quarters - hell it weighed 4000lbs..)
Alsa it was not finished on my birthday, but a month later. You can only make so much cash by slinging tacos while at high school full time. , but I did take my drivers exam in it. The guy at DOT was apprehensive as I fired up the huge pearl white beast for the skills and road test..

EDIT- I learned to drive in a 64 chevy pickup, 3 on the tree. I was 10.

15 years and 11 months. Ohio just passed a law one month before I got my lic. about getting it a 15.5 then keeping the temp for the first 6 months. I got my temps at that time and got my full lic. at 16 years to the day! Couldn't wait, I already had my car at the time, '86 Fiero GT, just waiting to be driven. That is a fun car, nothing like my car now though!!

I got my learners when I was 16 but been driving some type of vehicles since 13 over in Europe and I got my license when I was 17 after I bought the 951. Lady told me I didn't shift right in it either because she was kinda large and had a hard time getting into the car after I told her you can move the seat back. I shifted the gears like the manual told me and she said "Engine working to hard and loud you should shift earlier.". No cat kinda loud but not to bad. I couldn't even spool up the turbo lol

I got mine when I was 17. I didn't get my permit until I was 16 because I had failed a class and they ahve that law where if you fail a class you can't have your permit. Yeah, I failed, and I didn't get my permit until a little after I turned 16. I had to have it for 6 months before I could get my license, but not only did we not have the money, I didn't have a car. Right before I was 17, I got a Pontiac 6000 (w00t w00t) and got my licenese almot four years ago, on January 2nd!

I did the driver's ed thing in high school when I was 16, but my parents wouldn't let me get my license until I was 18. Probably had something to do with my Rock-esque driving experience. (I suppose I should post it in that thread). Driving to Grandma's house, snow covered roads, the whole family in the car, and I stuffed it in a snowbank.
