I can has learner's permit!

Woo! I passed my permit test! I am now legally authorized to terrify [livejournal.com profile] ebrooklynw and [livejournal.com profile] akukorax as they try to help me learn how to drive in the state of California! I win!

...This annoucement would be much more awesome and much less pathetic if I were actually 15 1/2 and making it. *looks sheepish*

But yeah: Trin—coming soon to a road near you! Be afraid. Be very afraid!

*has no icons of cars so uses icon of puddlejumper*

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I also have my CA learners permit - and I'm 37 ;)

Yay!

(And I'm still licence-less as well. Have not even tried for the permit test yet.)

Congratulations! Though how you've managed without a car in southern Cal boggles me.

Good luck tackling the 405!

Heh! Good luck with that.

I want to learn to drive, but I'm not allowed a licence at the moment on medical grounds.

I've only just got my license, and I'm 24 (I got my permit in...May? and my license in June; granted, it's Oregon, and they don't make you parallel park, and I had tried to learn, once, years ago, in boarding school), and now I'm scooting around like an old pro like I'm actually comfortable doing it! Good luck!

1) I was 28 when I passed my test, and 29 when I got my first car.

2) I could drive a tractor before I could drive a car.

3) My new car IS a puddlejumper in car form. Honda Civic baby!

I've had a learner's since I was 17 and... 22 now, yeah. It's good to know that I'm not the only one lacking a driver's license in the US. :D Congrats and good luck!

Drivers in CA are--- insane. DO NOT FOLLOW THEIR EXAMPLES. *so says the NEW YORK DRIVER*

Congrats on this rather belated event! I'm sure you'll be a better driver than 99% of the asshats on the road in California. (Not saying much, granted...)

Argh, you beat me! I'm planning on finally getting my permit in August at the age of 26, after actually studying the Texas driver's manual instead of answering the online practice exams with "educated guesses."

But my parents are really putting their foot down on me getting a car, and I got them to promise to poney up the cash for the down-payment. I will be terrorizing Texas drivers while you wreak havoc in California!

I got my permit today too! And I'm 18. It was interesting to stand there going "gosh, everyone here is 15."

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

I got my driver's license at the age of 21, in Illinois, after failing the test twice in California. The day after getting it I moved to Boston and didn't drive for nine years.

So, go you!

Oh my god! I totally missed this. Awesome!!

That's funny, I got my permit about the same time as you. I take the test September 4, and I buy my new car September 7 (stupidity on my part with auto loan apps filled too early, yeah.) Anyways, good luck!
