My parents are forcing me to get a drivers license.
My parents are forcing me to get a drivers license
Manual (standard) transmission truly is american's worst enemy
So? Isn't it really cheap in the USA?
Fucking 2000+ dollars here...
Me too, how old are you?
it's free, I just don't want to drive.
20
It’s actually 20 dollars senpai
>it's free, I just don't want to drive
Then don't drive. Just get the license and be done with it..
They want me to get a license so I can drive. They think if i have my own car that I will get a social life.
Then get a license, have them buy you a car and then crash it. Blame them for it and never drive again, say you got ptsd from it.
Mine did not and I'm such a huge failure now
holy shit dude, I have same problem
En même temps en France faut être un pilote pour l'avoir
>They think if i have my own car that I will get a social life
Kek. If you are like me then it won't help.
My parents paid for my license and bought me a cheap car. Still no friends or social life. Sold the car and bought a computer instead.
that sounds pretty fucked up lad
Do what I did and move to one of the few cities in the country where you don't need a car and never look back. Never go down the cagie route.
We have the same age, sad that in my country public transportation is a piece of shit, so I will really need to get a loicense to move around.
>20$ license
My mandatory first aid course alone cost twice that much.
How long does it take to get one in the USA?
I'm about to get mine soon (after around two months in total).
Ou juste non-p*risien :)
I just practiced driving my mom's car for a few months then studied for my permit a small amount, then immediately got the license afterwards after taking a test that lasted 30 minutes. Any idiot can get a car here and the government refuses to take responsibility for the rising death tolls even though they make driving uniform by law.
Sorry to hear that. Driving is a scam. The automobile and oil industries destroyed the once-robust public transportation systems we had and built sprawling cities so we'd all have to spend thousands of dollars on cars and gas. Unless you live in a select few cities you pretty much have to drive.
Getting a driver's license here takes some effort and costs 1800-5000$. We have a dropout rate of 39% in the theoretical test and 32% in the practical one. That's why we can have highways without a speed limit while you better shouldn't.
I used to feel the same way you did OP, I didn’t want to drive and I didn’t want a driver’s license. However once you get into the groove of it driving can be a rather relaxing experience. Sometimes when I’m bored I’ll get in my car and get on the highway just to look at the local sites. Having a car is also really convenient when you want to get something that’s far away. I used to have to rid a homeless-infested bus for two hours just to get across the city, but now I can do the same in the privacy of my car in half the time
>it's free
So US truly is land of the free
i'm also forcing myself but i'm gonna get fucked in the ass by this so stop your whining and just do it firstoid fuck.
here it's a list of mandatory things,
>50 € for traffic rules class
>50 € for medical checkup
>40 € for theoretical exam, for every time you fail
>25 € for 1 hour driving lessons, mandatory 30 hours so 750€ minimum
>25 € for practical exam, if you fail 5 times you have to pass the theoretical again
so in all about 1000€ if you're lucky
>Fucking 2000+ dollars here...
WHAT!?
When I lived in Oregon it lasts about 4 years before it expires and costs like $42. I live in Arizona and costs around $50ish, but doesn't expire for about 30 years.
same
>he didn't get his license at 18
HAHAHQHQHQHQHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH LITERAL MANCHILD HAHAHAHAHAHAHAQHQHAHAHAHAH
holy shit dude. Dont you realise how fucking pathetic you are? Are you going to ask mommy for a ride if you want to go somewhere? Man the fuck up. You're fucking 20 mate. Get your shit togheter. Do you want to stay every day in your parent's basement shitposting on a vietnamese anime website? Get some independency for fuck sake.
>he didn't get his license at 16
HAHAHQHQHQHQHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH LITERAL MANCHILD HAHAHAHAHAHAHAQHQHAHAHAHAH

You have never experienced the hell of Los Angeles drivers.
Ok this is based. In europe you can't drive alone if you're 18. You can also get a special license to drive but one of your parents have to be in the car as "instructor". You can get this license at the age of 16.
If you're under 18*
They right.
I failed my driver's license test like 10 times. First 8 times were from me fucking up the parallel parking, the last 2 times were SPEEDING IN A SCHOOL ZONE, WHILE IT WAS SUMMER TIME. I only "passed" the 10th time (since he failed me on that) was when I had to give my retarded instructor a fucking blowjob for him to pass me, FUCK THAT FAGGOT HOMO.
Don’t get a license user
Promptly drive them to the best retirement home public assistance will afford, and kick them out of the car while it's still moving.
>don't have to pay insurances
>don't have to pay for gas
>don't have to pay for repairs
>don't have to pay for tires
>don't have to pay for license
>get to enjoy the sight of seething cagies stuck in traffic while I bypass them at 25kph
>free cardio while you do your commuting, saving you time when working out
who /chadcycle/ here?
i'm going to cage until i can afford a nice bike
like op i'm 20 and just now getting my drivers license. sucks i live so rural so bike commutes are going to be long as fuck
we have that parental permit here too at 15, which seems kind of pointless since it's only a year away. but you can drive with any adult, it doesnt have to just be your parent. i think the age varies by state though
speak english or gtfo
It's around ~1000e here. You have to do 8h of theory (+ a theory test) and 14h of driving with a licensed instructor (+a driving test). About ~150e goes to administrative fees.
After failing to learn my mom told me "if you don't want to drive don't do it"
My mum told me she would pay for my driver's ed and license but then told me to fuck off, when I turned 18, 'because she didn't have any money'.
Like it would have mattered since I had no glasses because she didn't buy me any but I still got her shitty eye genes hahah.
Same
Similar situation but my parents are just suggesting that I should start practicing and I'm 19
I can get everywhere by bus but I'm scared that later in life I won't be able to learn it as good as I could have at a younger age.
to have a drivers license is awesome, op. you should be thankful :3
>Fucking 2000+ dollars here...
I paid 60$ lol
Can you drive manual?
I got my license when I was 22 in winter. Passed my test first try. Its pretty easy. Just practice a bit and you'll learn in no time.
Imagine American roasties driving on the left lanes on the Autobahn. That shit is more terrifying than any horror movie.
pathetic
spot the coastie
>tfw literally learned how to drive with my parents
>for free
why is europe such a shithole? why do you need licensed instruction if you can pass the test anyway?
How much of a entitled faggot do you have to be, i bet your parents love you and spoiled you, kill yourself
It's a waste of time and money. Most of my friends got one as soon as they reached the age of 18 and don't even have cars. My parents offered to pay for mine if I wanted but I refused. My city has trams and buses going everywhere and I'd rather buy a new PC than a used car. Just explain to them that you'll get one when you need one.
$2k for a license? Bullshit
Prove it faggot
He's speaking the truth, it costs the same here. And you need those lessons with the instructor if you live in a city to have a chance at passing the test.
I can't even begin to imagine how bad American drivers must be, especially foids.
>Have gotten my learners permit twice
>tfw haven't even bothered to do the road test to get my license
