EXCITING NEWS!

[Bunnicula05]

Okay, this post has nothing to do with pets, but I'm pretty excited about it! My Mom is going to have a boy on November 11th, 2002! AND I GOT MY DRIVER'S PERMIT THIS MORNING! Yay!

[Rottieluver45]

YAY!!!! That`s good news that your mom is going to let you have a pesky little brother,Right? J/K
Congrats on getting your permit!!

[Heather Wallace]

Congratulations on both pieces of news, Meg. I am happy for you. At what age can you start to take driving lessons in the US?

[Bunnicula05]

When you're 15 years of age you can get your permit and start driving! But I took Driver's Education before I got my permit and you have to fill out a student driver permit because not everyone has their legal permit.

[Heather Wallace]

WOW! You have to be at least 17 years old before they even let you near a car in the UK. Personally I think you should be older but I suppose I am on the wrong forum for that issue.

GOOD LUCK ANYWAY!

Yay! What great news! Good luck!

Heather, but with a permit you can only drive with your parents or legal gaurdian. If you don't, you get in BIG TROUBLE! Then at 16 you get your Intermediate License, which is the same as a regular license except you can't drive between 1:00-5:00 AM. Then when you're 18 you get your Full License.

CONGRATULATIONS for both exciting news! Drive safely ok? All the best for your mom with the pregnancy! Are you excited to be a big sister?

[Daisylover]

Congrat's on getting your driving permit, that is just so cool. I think your folks will really aprpeciate it when they no longer have to drive you around.

And in addition, a new baby too.....you must be flying high! You'll be a great big sister!

[Bunnicula05]

Yes, I've had lots of practice with my 1 and a half year old brother.

Congrats. to you!! In ND you can get your permit at 14 and the real license at age 15 if you pass drivers training!
