How old were you when you got your driver's license?

I was 16 when i got my license, but started getting my first lessons when i was 10 on empty parking lots. Yes i did sit on a phone book 🙂
 
16 got my permit.. learned by driving my 'rents around. Got it June 1st (turned 16 and a half? lol). Aced my road test, zero points off. Thus far, I've logged over 6000 trouble free miles while having an un-believable amount of fun. BRB knocking on lots of wood.
 
16 and two days. I was unbelievably pissed when I realized that my birthday fell on a gd Saturday and I would not be able to get my license until Monday.

Had a huge shitbomb of a car waiting for me (grandma ==> mom ==> dad ==> me hand me down)...but at least it ran. The engine blew a year later. It wouldn't go past 40 mph after the engine gave out, but I drove it around like that for about a month anyway because I couldn't bear to be without it.
 
That's what you get for buying a TURD gen. 😀 The 305 V8 in my first vehicle blew, so we yanked it out and put in a bigger V8. 🙂




...I realize you're talking about a different car.
 
21

until then I didn't have a regular job so couldn't afford to buy, drive, and maintain a car. And there was no way my dad was going to let me drive one of his classics, daily-drivers or not.
 
15/16 here. Where I live, you either drive yourself or have someone else drive you. Hence, I decided it was time to drive. Public transportation option in AL? ROFL. What a joke...
 
I had my learners permit at 15.5, took Driver's Ed at my high school during the summer, and I got my driver's license right after my 16th birthday.
 
15.5 in Kansas and then lost it when I moved to New York when I was 17 (they would require me to re-take drivers ed for a second time, etc if I wanted to drive at <18) and got it again when I was 18.
 
permit 16... full license 18. first car 18 still have it and love it. I had a fork truck license when i was 14 though. fork trucks are fun to drive.
 
They changed the law in my state the year I got mine requiring people to have a learners permit for 12 months before getting their full license. I missed the cutoff by two weeks and was issued my full license when I was 15, much to the dismay of just about everyone I went to school with who had to wait a year. 🙂
 
Driving since I was 13. Permit at 15. The day I turned 16 I went straight to the DMV after school and got my license.
