Yesterday was a big day...

My mom sort of had the same rule with me, I think. She's letting me drive myself back to campus tomorrow by myself so she's obviously fairly confident in my driving abilities now . I'm kind of nervous about it, but I think I'll be okay as long as I go before rush hour. Rush hour in Knoxville = horror.

That is fantastic that you've never been in an accident too; you're one of the lucky ones .


Thanks again everyone

Easy goes it - you'll be fine! Just don't let your guard down and get overly confident too quickly. And watch out for the other guy - there are some real idiots behind the wheel.

I hope I'm not jinxing myself by saying this, but I've been driving for over 48 years and never had an accident (KNOCK ON WOOD) - just involved in one where I was rear-ended. I've had a few speeding tickets in that time, but I could count those on one hand!

Well, I made it to campus no problems . I drove in the rain, but I did fine!

Kudos to you also . I hope I can go that long without an accident!

Bri, you are one young lady I have really enjoyed watching grow up. Congrats on this "first".

Every new journey will be an adventure for some time - first rainstorm, first time driving at night, etc, etc. Just watch your speed (most new drivers I know's first accident or ticket is a result of driving too fast), and you'll be fine!

Congratulations Bri! That's awesome! I hope you are enjoying the freedom! Don't worry about the age.... I didn't get mine til I was 20....

It has been so far . I love driving by myself though. I still have to experience night driving and interstate driving by myself...

And I try to watch my speed. I used to be extremely careful, but now that I've gotten a little bolder, it could be a problem .

Congratulations Bri! That's awesome! I hope you are enjoying the freedom! Don't worry about the age.... I didn't get mine til I was 20....

Haha, wow. I'm glad I'm not the only one within this "got my license way too late" boat . And yes, I love the freedom!

Haha Well, I don't think I'll ever get mine

Aww, Sana, don't say that . You'll get your license. What age do you have to be in your country to get a license?

Haha yes way too late on my part! But honestly I didn't really have any interest in driving at 16 or even 17 years old. And I truly believe that sure, you may be 16 and legally old enough to drive a car. But some kids are not even close to being mature or responsible enough to get behind the wheel of a car!

I didn't have a huge interest in driving then either. I just got my car this past June, so there was really no point in driving yet. And oh yes, haha. I know plenty of people that are my age now and still don't need to be behind the wheel of a car .

Congratulations Bri!! Sorry I'm so late with commenting this. Enjoy your freedom Are you commuting to school now?

It's all good Thanks.

Nope, I already signed a contract to live on campus this year, but I do go home really frequently, so it's nice .
