After you were able to drive, did you find that driving is as good as it seemed before you could drive? Cause, I really, really want to drive and I'm wondering if it's as good as it seems.

Yea trust us. It's a gooooooooooooooooood feeling. Plus, I couldn't imagine my parents driving me everywhere I go.

It was fun for me at first but now there are times when I would rather walk or ride my bike. Driving can be a drag sometimes, especially when you're stuck in traffic or have to chauffeur people around. After a few years the novelty wore off for me.

In a month I will finally be able to know what it is like to drive on my own. I've been waiting for an entire year for this

According to my friends who can already drive on their own though, it gets kinda old kinda fast. We'll see though...

I think that you'll find both sides are true....driving can be alot of fun but it can suck sometimes too. The novelty of cruising down a secluded country highway with the windows rolled down on a starry summer night has never worn off for me. However, as stated, driving can be a royal pain in the butt sometimes. Driving for any prolonged distance can make you tired and irritable, especially if you've had to deal with construction or traffic jams. But I think you will find, after several months to a year of driving, that for the most part it just becomes a mundane activity.

ok, well i drove home from school like on wed. i have my permit. it was exciting. i thought it would be so cool since i've been dreaming about it forever. it was cool when i was with the training guy from driving school but i was like so nervous with my dad. i guess the "watch out for the stop sign!!!" when the sign's like 400 feet away wasn't helping. i was tense though. and scared. lol. but, it was fun. but all in all, it's really cool. if you don't think about the accidents that could happen or whatever...

To be able to drive instead of having to depend on other types of transports or people is good s**t man no doubt about that! You'll find out real quick, though, as some of the folks here have been informing you, that it can be a headache. I'm a HUGE promoter of not driving every dang place you need or want to go. Walk, bike or run even. Don't drive all of your short trips to the corner store or wherever if you really don't need to.

Parents are more afraid of teens driving than teens are. My parents still tell me almost every move to make and I've been driving almost twelve months now. The only time I get scared when I drive is when they yell at me to do something

Get the kind of car that blends well with your personality, and driving is GREAT!!!!!

Until you start running into the hoards of morons out there who obviously have no idea what they're doing.

Oh yea, it's great till you realize that the tank is sitting on E and it takes money to fill it up... money which parents don't give... then the car insurance, the car payments...then you realize, crap, this thing can break!

but other than that... it's cool not having to depend on parents!

ISmellFine · 06-23-2002, 10:42 PM

I have my permit...I sometimes hate mom being in the car with me because I'll be driving 5 miles per hour above the speed limit and she'll be like "you're going too fast!!!" Ugggh. Driving can be pain...when you have to drive a long time and people won't let you into their lane..blah. I can't wait 'til December though! I'll get my license. *dances*
