Starting to drive at a young age

[Richie]

is it really worth it?

In my opinion its silly, it eats the money most teenagers don't have and there really is no need to drive if you live in the city, plenty of public transport.

Although I'd like to think I'd drive sometime soon just because its something new and i could get around to places faster.

i left learning at 17 'cus i didnt have the money and had to pay for it all myself, but i learnt at 18 instead and it gives you so much more freedom. if it weren't for that i probably wouldnt bother

[myke]

i learnt as soon as i can, because now i can drive it's broadened my horizons and theres much more on offer such as jobs

driving really doesn't interest me so I'm not doing it 'til after uni. I couldn't get a car til then anyway, so not much point forking out the money when I'd rather spend it on holidays for next year.

yeah apparently it's easier when you're younger, even with all that boy racer ******ry
im glad i learned early anyway idk why

[Metric1]

yes. i love driving.

Driving is great to start at a young age. It gives you the ability to go to any place at any time. Basically just cuts out public transport and makes many things a lot easier for you.

i'm 17 and i've passed my test; my first lesson was at 9am on the morning of my 17th birthday, thats how determined I was

and don't talk to me about public transport - buses are my absolute pet hate and i detest them, taxis are phenomenally overpriced and i'd only ever get the train if i were going to edinburgh.

plus i can afford to drive with the wage from my job so why not?

couple these with the fact ive been obsessed with cars and wanted to drive since i was a foetus... and youve got my excuse.

[Alexx..]

I'm driving but i'm not buying a car yet cause I don't plan on sticking around here once I finish college, it'll just be a waste of money to get a car now, so i'll buy a car when I have gone to uni and such.

It's easier to learn when you're younger and let's face it, you'll have loads of debts to pay off after Uni!

Public transport is horribleeeee x_x
