    Yipee!!! im finally getting my lisence!

    now please dont laugh at me i am aware that since im almost 19 i should have this already but right before i went to get it when i was 16 i was in a horrible car accident
    (a drunk doing 60 ran a red light and hit my side of the car dead on without even attempting to stop.)
    and broke both collarbones, 4 ribs, my leg, popped my lung and got a concussion that had me out for 2 hours (evidently this was the scariest time of my then bf now husbands life) which i dont understand because i was quite happy i had lots of pain meds in my system. but since them i have been terrified at the thought of driving. half the time i wont even sit in a car if were going anywhere where we have to go more than 40 i just stay home & when ever ive gotten in a car to practice i have a panic attak
    but finally i have gotten over this and im getting my lisence so i now will no longer have to beg people for rides lol
    wish me luck!!! (with my luck ill fail lol) so cross your fingers!
    I am your heart

    Good luck. I know a lot of people in their 20s and even 30s who don't have a license. Either they have had traumatic experiences too, or they just never learned because they didn't have/want to.
    My grandmother in her 70 years on the planet never got behind the wheel.

    good luck!, looking back now I don't think I could even pass the parallel-park test

    I also had a friend at the age of 22 who didn't have her license

    i got mine a month before i turned 19. i wnted a new car and since i wasnt getting one from my parents even though i was PROMISED one my whole life, i refused to get my license. and then i went to college and the first year i couldnt have a car anyway so it wouldnt have mattered.

    (that sounds so snobby but i wanted a damn car! even when my parents offered to give me my dads and he'd get a new one, i insisted on buying my own.)

    I remember when I was 15-16 I was scared to death of learning to drive a car. Dunno why, no traumatic incidents, I just was. When all of my peers were begging their parents to learn, I was avoiding it. Eventually my parents dragged me into practicing enough and I learned. I was also tired of taking the bus an hour each way to high school every day. My dad did stipulate that I had to have at least $1,000 in my bank account for emergencies before I could even take the written test. If it ever went below $1,000, he would take my keys until I brought my balance up again. He was a very smart papa, and a very good daddy too. He always said growing up he wouldn't buy me a car and said I had to buy my own first car, but when I finally got my license at 17 years old and had that money in the bank, he was very proud so he broke down and found me a great first car that I loved to death.

    Now people can't tear me away from a car, and I'm like obsessed with them.

    I was in a 4-car accident when I was 12- no one was hurt badly (mom's nose was broken, but that was the worst) but the damage was major (new van totalled- we'd only had it for 2 hrs!!!) and I was understandably scared when it came to learning how to drive... I waited until almost 17... but after starting, i LOVED it, and realized I had dad's "motor" gene.

    My little sis is 16, and was kinda nervous, too.... last week she was out here in CA and I gave her a first riding lesson on my bike (she'd just gotten her M1 permit!! my baby girl!!) and now she's not scared to drive at all. ....And she's pestering my parents for a bike.

    You'll be fine, Alianne... just take a deep breath and relax! (Of course, if you're still nervous- have YoU ever thought about riding?? It's a lot less pHySiCAlly overwhelming than a ton of metal, and gets ya there quicker!)
