Do you drive?

[Johno]

Started my lessons a few weeks ago and it's probably one of the best things I have done

I started driving at the age of 16, got my provisional license at the age of 18... And, i drive a car and a motorbike

Well the only thing I would say is that parents are more inclined to pay for your driving lessons when you are 17 and whilst at home you can probably find the time and the effort to do it. Driving lessons are obviously going to be more expensive in a few years time. A license is a great asset to have maybe for a part-time job, in an emergency and most definitely for ID purposes.

Hmm you raise some very good points. Particularly about having the time. I think I'm going to learn to drive but I won't get a car until I really need one, which could be up to a decade away, I've no idea

i have no need to drive, driving is for working class citizens

Yes well I didn't have a car straightaway either but it's worth it I believe.

Driving changed my life dramatically. When you are getting buses you are obliged to stick to timetables etc, when you have a car you can go where you like, when you like and for me it's really helped my social life as a teenager. Yes, I am in a dilemma as to what to do with my car when I go to University in September as obviously I won't be taking it with me, but would like it here for when I am home.. but the insurance will still be pricey.

I think it's a lot easier to learn when you are 17, as Catzsy said a Driving License is perfect for ID (and I think it's the cheapest form too). When you've learnt it'll never go away, even if you don't get a car after you've passed until after uni

ive been driving for almost 2 years

Started learning to drive when I was 17 (On my 17th birthday infact), but didn't pass my test until like June last year (when I was 18) - It was the best feeling ever! Got a car a week later, and have been driving ever since.

Had I not learnt to drive/got a car, then it would have been far harder to find a job, as transportation is often useful for branching out and finding jobs, and busses just aren't always at the right times really.

Yes, it's extremely expensive to learn to drive, but I think it's an extremely useful thing to do, and the feeling you get when you pass your test(s) is just unbelievable! It really is something that life changing, and gives you so much more flexibility in terms of where you can go/what you can do with your time.

I dont drive and tbh as much as I'd like to start driving I don't need to start anytime soon. Paying to go on trains and flights plus using my bike wherever I need to go pretty much gets me along, and walking it ofc. If I got a car, I'd get lazy and fat lol.

i'm 17 n started lessons a month ago
im not even that keen on driving, don't need a car, get a lift to college for free. would rather walk to the shop than drive. once i pass i'm not gonna bother having a car. not till i get a job atleast.. plus its actually cheaper and less time consuming to get to shopping centres by train
