Maybe a lot of the students in the class will be younger but I will bet you are not the only one in their 20s - and suspect you may also have students older than you in the class as well:-). I have a good friend who did not learn to drive until her 50s so don't worry about the age thing. Enjoy your class and enjoy the experience of learning to drive. You and your husband are smart to have you learn to drive at a driving school.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

My husband is 29 and about to apply for his first ever driver's license. Also my Mom has a Scottish friend who didn't start driving until she was in her 40's. So yes, there are some folks out there getting off to a "late start" by American standards.

I never drove until I was 32 and a single parent. My friend gave me lessons from a driving school as a gift. She told me, "It doesn't matter if you drive on a long trip. One day, you'll want to just go to McDonalds or somewhere with your kids and not have to ask anyone for a ride." I asked the instructor if I was his oldest student, and he said, "Heck no! Among the people I teach who aren't high school, you're about the YOUNGEST!"

My wife never drove before. She got her learner's permit. A lot of good that is doing. :P

She is 32 and I wont and I still refused to teach her how to drive without a driving course. It can be pretty hard on the marriage.

so dont worry about your age. I am sure the driving schools get all ages

i know lots of ppl who didn't get their licenses until they were in their 20s & 30s. my hubby's aunt got hers in her 40s. my sister was 24.

the last time i was at the DMV, all i saw were people in their 30s and older taking their driving test. from chatting with a few, i found that many MANY were new to the country and had gone to driving school.

don't worry about it. just be confident and i am sure you will do well.

best of luck! :thumbs::)
