In both cases, you still need to pass the written test. Passed that easily.

Oh, thats weird. Here you can get a permit without any classes or anything at 16, then you just need to have driven a certain number of hours and then you can take the tests (written and driving) for your license at 18, or earlier with some classes, iirc.

Yeah, for minors, you need two slips, so in essence, they require you to pay more, or the permit's invalid. Then its legal for six months, and you go for the driving test for a provisional license beginning at sixteen. It becomes non-provisional at 18.

In regards for adults, it's a permit that's valid for a year, and I can take the driving test within that time, when I feel ready.

Pemits are cheap, once child gets license, child goes on car insurance. Car insurance is not cheap.

Obviously not, but then you get all of these discounts if you're a good student and whatnot. Of course, I'm going to college in September, so my parents won't need me to be on their insurance for too long (I don't think)...

Practice as much as you can in that time, hopefully your parents are good drivers and can teach you everything you need to know. I once co-owned a car with someone, with the understanding that I'd help them learn to drive... they preferred to let me drive them around despite my urgings that they should practice more. Naturally, they failed the driving test.

My parents are decent drivers; I plan to begin learning how to drive in two weeks or so, and practice as often as I can.

Rabbit stew... mmm. I'm thinking more rabbit curry, or roasted rabbit. But stew works.

Being a girl helps? I thought the stereotype was that girls are really bad drivers? :P

I was buying a pack of cigarettes at a gas station a few minutes ago, and the clerk recognized me from this thing on the news a few years back when I called Traian Basescu an 'anti-ziganist, spineless, weasel looking, cocksucker'. They were interviewing random Roma they found, and I managed to be one of the people inteviewed.

Yeah, that will never happen here, but being black or whatever can't be used against people, event though thats basically the same thing.

Wouldn't it be illegal under federal discrimination laws, though? It does mention "sex" as one of the forbidden categories...
