Anyone else taken forever to get their license?

[Razp_Sorbet]

I just booked for my drivers test. Been a learner for years. Test is in 2 weeks. I think I'll pass I'm still very nervous about it though.

[Rangers]

I failed it on my first test, second test, and passed my third one on a technicality.

I failed the first for failing to yield when turning left at a green light, the second time because he said I wasn't decisive enough when turning.

The third one, I accidentally touched the curb when parallel parking, which would be a fail, except the test is an automatic fail if you hit the curb when driving, not touch it when parking. So I got a break there and passed. I was 18 on all of the three tests

Some people take their time when it comes to certain things & when it comes to a drivers license the best time to take it is when you are ready. As for me I didn’t wait & when I was eligible to get my learners permit I got it & after that I got my drivers license. Go for it, you got this!

[Razp_Sorbet]

It's kinda now or never my learners expires next year

[Static_In_The_Attic]

As for me I say put your big girl panties on & go get your drivers license.
You say now or never & I say take never out of the equation & just do it.

[Razp_Sorbet]

It's already booked would be a waste of $130 if I backed out

[Static_In_The_Attic]

A goal is a wonderful thing so go get your moneys worth & pass the flocking thing.

I sat on my learners for 2 years because I only got it as a form of ID, didn’t actually learn to drive until last year. Now I’ve got my restricted since March last year, and planning on sitting my full in November.

Good luck! It will go well🙏🏼

And personally I just had to take a break in between cause for a few long months I wasn't able to pay for the driving school anymore lol

It's not uncommon for some people to take longer than others to get their driver's license. Everyone learns at their own pace, and there can be a variety of factors that contribute to the length of time it takes to become a licensed driver.

Some people may feel nervous or anxious about driving, which can make it more difficult to learn and progress. Others may have limited access to a vehicle or may not have had the opportunity to practice as much as they would like.

The important thing is to focus on your own progress and to not compare yourself to others. If you have booked your driver's test and feel prepared, that's a great step forward! It's normal to feel nervous before a test, but try to stay focused and confident in your abilities.

Remember to take your time, stay calm, and follow the rules of the road. And if you don't pass on your first attempt, don't get discouraged - you can always try again and continue to improve your skills. Good luck on your test!

My father was in the Amvets with a registry cop so my brother and I were able to go and get a quick road test and we passed with no problem.

As long as you have been driving and have learned the rules of the road you will do fine. You got this.

Yes. I failed three times, which meant I failed the whole driving course. I had to start the course again and then I got my licence the first time. I have been driving for a year and a half with many pauses, because I live in another country now and I don't have a car there. Whenever I go back home I drive. I have hit my car twice in narrow underground parking lots.

[KittyKat90210]

I got mine when I was 18, mostly because I needed it then. I have a couple of friends who are 25 and planning to take their tests this year. Good luck!

[MementoMori777]

That drives test is easy don't stress it too hard, you'll be fine

[Razp_Sorbet]

Mostly worried about parallel parking

[MementoMori777]

I didn't get tested on parallel parking, are you sure you are going to get tested on that, last time I heard I think they removed it from the test

[MementoMori777]

Either ways just reverse looking back, don't use the mirrors and look at all sides that can get impact, it's a lot easier that what it looks

[Razp_Sorbet]

It's on the test here. I believe its either a parallel park or a 3 point turn

[Razp_Sorbet]

I've done it successfully many times but it's still very new to me lol

[MementoMori777]

If you've done it why you stressing 😂

[MementoMori777]

You'll be fine, just out of nervousness don't forget the seat belt 😆

[jennifer_bloom]

My dad's friend had a chauffeur when he was in china. If my business works - I will have enough money for 8 chauffeurs.

[Still-alive]

I passed the 2nd time i tried it. Its not that hard. a tip i could give you is to maybe exaggerate things like looking in your rear-view mirror or at your blind spots when you change lanes. make it really look like you know what you're doing.

[LiamJHayden]

I got mine as soon as possible, but my maternal grandmother never got hers in her entire life.

[the_sinner]

I received my two wheeler license when I was 16 and my four wheeler license 2 years back. You can take as long as you want but make sure you’re already a pro when you’re awarded the license.

[EaterPeter]

US? All the best! I guess. First time it takes long or feels long.

[Razp_Sorbet]

No, New Zealand. The test is an hour long

[EaterPeter]

Holy, left hand or right hand driving? You failed before? What were your week points?

[Razp_Sorbet]

We drive on the left... Not that it makes a difference. No I've never taken the test been on my learners since I was like 17

[EaterPeter]

You should be good now I think

[EaterPeter]

It takes only certain number of hours behind the wheel

[EaterPeter]

40 hours day time 10 hours night time

[EaterPeter]

Have you done at least 50 hours worth of driving 🚗?

[Razp_Sorbet]

Yes. Had my L licence since I was 17

[EaterPeter]

I am sure you are going to pass with flying numbers

[EaterPeter]

Colors

[smahala1991]

I didn't get mine till I was 18, But I had my learners permit at 15

[CrimsonAngel09]

My sister was 29 when she got her DL.

[Mansearching]

Depends on what time you get there.

[Razp_Sorbet]

It's an 8am test

[Mansearching]

Get there early. Here, either you make an appointment or be first come first serve. If DMV opens at 8 (for example) better get there at 6 maybe earlier.
But I don't know how populated your area is.

[Razp_Sorbet]

Nah it's not like that here you book the test and that is your appointment time. They recommend showing up half an hour early but the place opens at 8 lol.

[Mansearching]

Id show up at 7 or 630.

[Iron_Man]

Keep trying you’ll make it

[nawtee_me]

You will be fine... Good luck...
