    How many of you can drive? And how long did it take you to pass your test? I failed my first test miserabley, I hit a curb going round a mini roundabout and the examiner shot up in the air and hit his head on the roof :shock: but I managed to pass second time!

    In the US do they teach you to drive at school? I always see tv shows were people have 'drivers ed' thats crazy, do you have to pay for it?

    If you can drive what car do you have? If you can't drive what car would you like to have?

    I have a black peugeot 106, I love my little car.

    I have a little volvo, but it's on its last leg, hopefully soon I"ll be looking for a new car. And I was too lazy to read the book, so I got my license later then most of my friends xD

    You mean you got it suspended? It takes a lot of consecutive tickets for you to get suspended for speeding!

    Driving normally? You mean driving at the speed limit so you don't put yourself and others in danger? Yeah, it's sooo boring. If you like speeding, play racing video games or something...don't put other people's lives in danger because you want to have fun. Driving is to get you from a to b, not to entertain you.


    Anyway, yeah, in the US we take drivers ed in high school, but have the option to take it privately. I took it privately because I didn't have any room in my schedule for it. I got an 05 audi a4 cabriolet for my 16th birthday. It's cute, but I want a new car...my car's officially lost its new car smell, lol.

    I have my learners license. I can operate a vehicle only if there is someone accompanying me in the passenger seat that has their drivers. It's stupid though, I wish I could take my drivers though because I have a car. Oh well, only a 6 month wait.

    Re: ?

    No i'm a girl! And not a racer, my little car is just for driving to uni and back. I only managed 2000 miles this year!

    The funniest car is my fiances Seat Ibiza which he bought for 200 on ebay he has had it a year and both locks have fell through, so to get in you have to climb in through the boot and pull up the locks. But the pull up locks have snapped off so you have to grab them with pliers to pull them up. It all looks very dodgy!

    Sometimes you don;t have to be stupid to get in an accident. Sometimes, its the other guy's fault, and speeding just puts you at higher risk.

    I passed in December 2005. Took me 9 months from my first lesson til I passed. It was my first test too - just had 4 minors. However, I should point out that I had 2 hours of lessons most weeks instead of just the one.
