What's sad is I know two girls, both over 21, both without a driver's license, and both without a high school diploma. Don't even know if they have a GED. :|

Is it necessary that you drive or are you unable to afford your own personal transportation? If you want your license then go and get it.

If you live in an urban area that has excellent public transportation: no.

Otherwise, you should probably get it.

No. There are Adult Driving Classes, so it's not like your the only person. Just go to DMV and find out what you have to do to get one.

OMG, me too! :o (Well, I do know how to drive, I just can't do it legally).

I have an apartment close to campus, and pretty much anything I need is nearby though, so it's not an issue.

Plus: We don't pay for gas. That's a lot of money saved.

It's not any big deal at all. I got my license at 17 when all of my other friends were driving at 16. You should probably look into getting one soon, though. Driving isn't as scary nor difficult as you believe. The first few times you will be a pretty crappy driver, but you get the hang of it quick.

However, don't get your license until you're sure you want it.

i do live in the heart of a ubran area so I get around through the public bus system...i dont feel i need a car but i honestly did feel like i was missing out seeing how ppl younger then me seem so independent :? im surprised by the reponses though i thought most of u would pretty much be pointing and laughing :lol:

i do want to learn how to drive because i really dont want to be on the bus but i much rather worry about other things that arent even as important like buying games and going to the movies and a bunch of basic junk :D

If you live in a place with public transportation then I guess you don't really need to drive. Still, having a licence and knowing how to drive is useful no matter where you live.

If ity makes you feel any better, my grandmother is 85 and she never learned how to drive. :P

Ask a friend to teach you? Its very simple to learn how to drive :lol: I learned a few months ago and I drive everywhere. Ive only almost been in an accident twice. 1 was my fault, wasnt paying attention and then yesterday Im driving home on a narrow road and this van comes out of no where and he seems me fine and he still keeps coming. I had to swerve out of the way so I didnt get hit. Stupid people

Not really. If you know your bus schedule, then it shouldn't be a problem at all.
