i have not learned how to drive yet! my mom refuses to let me learn how to do so, my boyfriend does not have time to teach me as well... =( i want to know how to drive but i think it is rather risky haha i might not be able to live a day driving so - i have a very short attention span...

actually i have considered it.. but you know.. its better to sit around especially in traffic than be stuck with the wheels! =) haha :D
and yes, i think it is even better and easier to get driver's license when you have come from a driving school.

lol.. I get you. But if you are considering to learn to drive in the future if your mom would let you. I don't recommend getting lessons from your loved ones since people say that it's really better if you go to a driving school. You'll never know what will happen if a relative or a partner is teaching you how to drive. It might drive both of you guys insane if you commit a mistake or even bump into something.

nothing bad about that. That's even a plus. When my mom learned how to drive... my dad always makes alibi's that he can't drive so that my mom will sub for him. haha

Cool! You should! It's worth it I guess.. instead of going through all that hassle of using public transportation as long as you have gas though lol.

I learned to drive at 16. Good luck man and not worrying is key to do well wit driving. Don't stress over the fact your being supervised and just make conversation. Driving instructors have some hilarious stories of other student drivers, and just remember, there's always someone who's done worse than you (if you mess up in any way, but I'm sure you'll do fine :D )! People start driving at all ages. One of my friends parents just got their license a few years ago, somewhere in her 50's.
You'll learn a few tricks to parking and the basics and you should be set for the streets on your own!

The first time my father started to teach me how to drive, I was 9 years old.
There was a long, stright and large road near hour house, and with almost no traffic. Each sunday my father was bringing me in that road, explaining me how to drive and letting me give a try. The good was that the car (a Fiat 500) was really little and I was be able to reach anything: pedals, gear, handbrake.
The bad was I needed to wait 9 years more to get the drive license!

I wish I can learn to drive but for now I was very poor.
