And the way that we touch.

The joy that you bring

To my life every day.

I love you today

As I have from the start,

And I'll love you forever

With all of my heart

I went to an adult driving school and 90% of the students were older immigrants. So, I was the youngest one there. The driving part of the classes was one-on-one, just the instructor and me. Good luck! :)

I'm an oddball American--even without living in a big city, I didn't get my driver's license until I was 21. I had a learner's permit for three years--I kept getting it renewed. :lol:

I'm cool, though, 'cause I learned how to drive a standard--something that very few Americans my age know how to do! ;) My first car was a standard, in fact--a very old Toyota Camry. I miss it dearly sometimes, except when I'm stuck at a red light going uphill.

Abby (U.S.) and Ewen (Scotland): We laughed. We cried. Our witness didn't speak English. Happily married (finally), 27 December 2006.

Latest news: Green card received 16 April 2007. USCIS-free until 3 January 2009! Eligible to naturalize 3 April 2010.

How'd you get out to Cherry Hill to see films and buy cheap booze? ;)

I earned my G1 (learner's permit) at 16. G2 (licence but blood-alcohol level of 0) at 17 1/2. Full G at 19 (BAL of 0.8, I think). That said, I didn't own a car until five months ago.

I went to driving school last year... but i think there were more younger kids there bc AZ has horrid public transit, and the city is so big. I finally got my license at 21. I recommend finding an "independent" driving instructor. My friend went to one, it cost the same as a school, except she never had to sit in a classroom.
