This is annoying!

[collegegirl]

I have no driver's license. I have to rely on everyone else for a ride. I had the ability to get my permit the day I turned 15, but I ended up getting it about 3 months before my 16th birthday. I have to get 50 hours of driving time to get my license before I can get it before I turn 18, but now it seems as though I will have to wait until I turn 18 to get it, because I don't have the ability to get the hours. All of my other friends who are younger than me have a license and a car, but I have to rely on everyone. They are tired of driving me around, and I am tired of them driving me around. It is getting to the point where I really and truly need a driver's license and a car, but the license is still about 4 months away. :ranting: I am going on my 2nd year of having a permit. Did anyone else have this problem?

well first off the statment," All of my other friends who are younger than me have a license and a car," is not a valid excuse. and 2nd I didnt get mine till i was 17, and 3rd if they are that tired of driving you, you should really get on them about getting you hooked up so they dont have to complain anymore

or you could just find a lot of places to go and really nag them to carry u :D that should work

I like blessed's idea better. I HAVE tried to get my license. You don't KNOW how hard I have tried. In 2 years, I have a total of 13 hours. They have all been too busy. I have been patient, but sometimes it is just so hard. It really shouldn't have been this hard, but there is only 3 people in my family that I can legally drive with, and now 4 vehicles, but they are all busy when I have the opportunities to drive, and then when they are available as well, no one still wants to take me. :sad:

Glad to be of help sis

[collegegirl]

Say, you are over 21, and a licensed driver, right? So then maybe YOU could help me get the rest of my hours. :thumbup:

*blessed looks around embarassed*
actually i don't have it yet,someone usually takes me where i have to go but that service is kind of becoming inefficent lately so im in the process of getting it, but i can drive and already have a car ( please note that i don't drive illegally)

[Christian-Samurai]

I can teach you to drive :D but they all in my family say I drive slow like an old woman :(

[collegegirl]

you should see some of the old women drive around here. We have like 4 HUGE retiree cities, (no joke!!!!) here, and so about half of the drivers are REALLY OLD!! They are either soooooooo sllloooooooooowwww, or they are maniacs. :police:

[collegegirl]

Joe, found another one that doesn't work.

I totally sympathize with you collegegirl. I am 18 and still don't have my license, but only because my parents won't let me because i'm the oldest and they don't want me to do anything, and i don't have a job because i'm so busy with school and can't pay for insurance. However, I had a job interview today, please pray that I get if it's God's will.

[collegegirl]

oh definately. I am so glad to have found a kindred spirit. :D :thumbup:

[Christian-Samurai]

dont fret I didnt get mine till 17 so whats big deal, I was never in a rush to learn, driving is boring, it takes to long to get to the place I want to go and yet I live in big city lol

[collegegirl]

Well, I have so much that I am doing, plus work, and it just doesn't work their work and time schedules. :rolleyes:

Well, I got my permit the day I turned 15, but then I didn't get my liscence untill 3 or 4 months before my 17th b-day. It wasn't that I couldn't get it, I just didn't need it. Every where I went my brother was going, and I didn't want to have to pay an exorbant ammount of money for insurance.

[collegegirl]

Well, see, I don't exactly go where everyone else goes. It is all out of their way and time schedules.
