:cool::cool::D

Only my learner's (as that's all i'm old enough for), aced the little written test. :D

But the scarey thing is, there's been a few accidents over the last 4 days (one happened just before and another a few days back where a woman got killed), so maybe they've heard i've got my licence and are already panicking? :p

I'm sure i won't be that bad a driver ;)

Indeed. Actually, that's 18 here, when I can start going to nightclubs and pubs etc AND drive! ;)

Congrats :D

I remember how good it was getting my drivers licence back in May last year when i hit 17 (the age u can drive in the UK).

I passed my test on 30th August, just 3 months after starting to learn! Geez, i've been driving over a year! And i still enjoy it :) I love driving, and i find that driving will calm me down if i'm in mood or something :)


Have fun, and drive safely!

I shall drive safely. :p It's not me that's the bad driver it's other people and that's why accidents happen :)

But I shall keep my wits and own the road ;)

I only got mine when I was 21... we had a great public transit system in Montreal and there was no real need for one... until we started our family... :)

Congrats!! But I will have to agree with Zodder. Sucks getting old!! :(

But why do women get better looking as you get older?

I don't remember any highschool chick looking as good as the ladies in today's college or highschool classes. Sheeesh... :(

Little OT on a OT thread, but it's true!

I loove to mess around with poeple on the road. Put a big hand written sign on the back of your vehicle that says "student driver" and watch everyone stay 1000 feet away from you :) I put one on whenever it snows and make sure to powerslide around corners just to mess with people's minds :p

Congrats DJSnairdA!

No S#!%!! :| I swear I've been run off the road(or almost run off the road) atleast 50 times since I moved here 2 years ago. :Q
But....then again, the times I've had the misfortune ;) of driving in Illinois, they haven't been much better:p
