      It's cool. I didn't get my driver's license until a month before I turned 19.

            Some people just weren't meant to drive.

              I'm 34 and I don't drive. I just have no faith in my ability to drive. I blame my father. Because when he'd try to teach me when I was young, he'd just yell that I was doing it wrong. Even when I was doing just as he showed me.

                I'm 28 and only have a driver's permit. That's one of the reasons I like living in the big city. Mass transit galore. I would like to get my license someday, but I can never get anywhere near enough practice to feel well and truly comfortable behind the wheel of a car. It doesn't help that the place where I last took lessons was in Nassau County. How I've never gotten into an accident there I'll never know.

                  Don't worry, you'd probably need to do it exactly as he is telling you

                  also my dad does that to me :(

                      WHy? Why do you say that? I'm just curious..I can't imagine not driving. I love it..I love to be able to go where I want when I want...I even drive into Manhatten all the time rather than have to take the bus. ANd if I lived there, I would still have a car so I could escape if I felt like it. Also, I am bad at driving on the other side in foreign countries..so I have been wanting to take lessons but don't think I've seen this offered anywhere.

                        I got my permit when I was 16. passed the written part with no problem. but the driving with the cop next to me was nerve destroying to say the least. I failed that test 5x (over a 10 year period of failure:( )Then one bright and heavenly day I passes *yessss!* So add that up. I was 26 when I finally got my freedom. -I live in the country(no cabs or buses here). Have faith in yourself guys and don't let the fear of an accident scare you into hiding.I was terrified of that too and it has been 5 years and not 1 accident or speeding ticket for that matter. Having the option of driving anytime you would need too is the motivation that will get you there. Good Luck!:)

                          Im 25 and I have never had nor will I ever have a driver's license. I have an anxiety disorder, and I am terrified of driving. When I was 19 I had my first driving lesson, nothing terrible happened, but it scared the poop out of me, and I don't want any part of driving. I have nightmares all the time where I'm driving, and I hit people, drive into houses, etc. Also, I know that I would be a terrible driver, I'm a total space cadet, and I have a very hard time focusing. About a year ago, I was crossing the street and got hit by a car, I broke my leg, had whiplash, and a concussion. So now, not only am I scared of driving, but I'm also scared of crossing the street. I live in Denver, and I take the bus everywhere I need to go, and thats good enough for me. I pay about $50 a month to get to and from work every day, and I think thats a hell of a good deal compared to a car payment, insurance, gas, maintenance, and all that.

                              I'm almost 31 and I don't drive just because I see other people on the road and they're doing such dangerous things on the road like talking on cellphones, paying attention to kids in the back seat, people driving quite aggressively.
                              I once saw a woman, maybe younger than my mother, and she was driving quite aggressively. She was tail gating, she was weaving in and out of traffic, and she wasn't waiting for other people to go through the traffic lights. What she was doing was quite dangerous. In fact this woman was attempting to turn the corner in front of my mother and I turned to this woman and I mouthed the words "don't do it you bitch!" :rolleyes:

                                I'm almost 18 and I haven't even gotten a permit yet. I really hate it, mostly because I have to rely on my parents to take me everywhere. Luckily I have enough scholarship money left over so I can take the full drivers ed course, so I might be driving soon.
