Me and Jeremy somehow got into a discussion of driving and getting a license. Somewhere in the conversation we discuss what it took for us t get a license. Then he says in Illinois it is mandatory that all h.s. students take drivers ed in their school cause its a graduation requirement, and they have to have a yellow card, then a permit, then they can get a license...I never heard of a yellow card cause we dont do those here in Connecticut. Anyhow, I didnt realize how DIFFERENT it was in all state's it is to go about learning how to drive and get a license...This is how it works here in my home state...
:arrow: Driver's Ed ( OPTIONAL ) I went tho, and it cost $400. We dont have drivers ed in all high schools in Connecticut, and my high school happened to be a school that didnt have drivers ed...so I went to Sears. Plus that stupid Sears driving book cost $25.
:arrow: Permit testing..It cost $10
:arrow: When you are under 18 and have had your permit for so many months, then you can make an appointment to take ur drivers test.
:arrow: Making an appointment cost ANOTHER $40...and then when you go to make an appointment..it aint like u can take it nexrt week or sumthin...You have to wait months in advance...Like I made my appointment in a May and couldnt take the test until that following July...I guess cause there are so many people tryin to get licenses their appointments book months ahead.
:arrow: The actual day of the drivers test arrives. If you successfully complete your exam is cost $77 for the license...They claim its this much cause it doesnt expire for 7 years, unlike older license that use to expire in 4 years...
So after its all said and done I spent a total of $552 just to eventually get a license. I really coulda did without the drivers ed...Cause not only was that sh*t boring as hell...but my daddy taught me how to drive honestly...Those few lessons I had from the Sears instructors didnt do much. But that is ridiculous after you calculate all the costs...But Im just wondering..how does it work in every state?
I dont remember how much it cost all together. Not much Ion think, but insurance...thas another thing....
I just remember I was sposed to finish 25 hours of driving before I could get my license. I just used three different colored pens and filled out the paper. I turned it in the next day....
I did the same thing, they don't be checkin that stuff. Thats why its so many bad drivers now. They just give anybody a license here in Chicago...
And u are not lyin cause Ima wild driver. I drive fast in all conditions, make quick turns, pop Us wheneva I feel necessary.
When I took the test, ol girl was like, "Why are you worried? You're a good driver..." I was like Now I even know thats not true!!
^^^ 15-30 minute road test...Thats a long time. Mine was 10 minutes.
The test was really about 10 min u never left the parking lot and the other 20 was waiting for my license to be printed.
u never left the parking lot :? What kinda test is that??? Im conviced that they just give anybody a license nowadays...lol
obviously if they gave u one I did my learning in Texas and plus I got a FL license to help me get in-state. O/S fees be hurting a bro and his family's pockets.
