Drivers Test

[mjarrels]

When my son got his drivers license at 17, insurance rates didn't move much, when my daughter got her license at 17, insurance rates went sky high.

boys speed, girls crash into stuff. To this day my sister has maintained a steady diet of sheet metal crunching at the rate of about every 18 months. Usually not enough to disable the car, just another fender bender, or shes muched another tire on a curb (ive lost count how many used tires we have put on the right rear)

IL you cant have passengers untill your like 18 or something.... its much more strict here

Things change over the years. I got my full license (there were no "learners permits) at 14 (1949 Idaho) and no driver's test required. I may have had to pass a written, don't recall now. Drove a 34 chev 1 1/2 ton grain truck loaded in harvest.

My sister has done that sheetmetal crunching/scraping thing with her last couple of cars (granted she has a horrible place to park, but still). She is hard on headgaskets though. Her last 3 cars have ALL had overheating issues and 2 of them have needed headgaskets (the 3rd is being driven by my brother who hasn't had any cooling system problems since he got the car from her).

Yep. My son got a speeding ticket almost 2 weeks after his license. He never worked so hard that next weekend in his life moving dirt, mulch and rocks. My guess, he still goes tooooo fast.

I have a stepgaughter that drove a little too fast for my liking .One morning she left to go to school . She could not get the car to move , and I explained maybe the blocks under the axles were the problem .

If any of you think that having your teenage children getting their driver's license is a strain on one's nerves, rest assured that you will relive those moments once again when you have Grandchildren.

You guys are killing me. I hope she dont try to drive like I use to. I always have had lifted trucks, I use to drive on our farm roads and gravel roads around home like I was in the Baja 1000. All those trucks had dents in the cab, one on each side, from the bed hitting it when I got air. I am 40 now, I still drive lifted trucks, but rarely ever get in a hurry to go any where. By the way, on the insurance, girls are cheaper than boys here in Ark. LUTT
