Two times. This was especially hard for me though as my state/city is completely f*cking retarded and make it so that you have to use your own car/vehicle to take the test with, but can't f*cking take the test if you don't own your own car/vehicle. And they are super expensive, no matter where you go. And what's worse is, many jobs REQUIRED a driver's license in order to work for them. I don't know why; but it had something to do with liability/insurance or some sh*t.
In other words, you needed your own car to get a license, but couldn't get many jobs without a license. What the f*ck are you supposed to do then? I asked them and they said "Just use your mom/dad's car." It infuriated me, cause that's such an upper-middle-class response. I'm like "Motherf*cker, I don't have a dad! And my mom ain't sh*t." I grew up dirt poor; what the f*ck makes you think I own a car or have parents who do?
Anyway, because of this absolute retardation in the system, the only other loophole around not owning your own car or having family rich enough to own a car, was to use an accredited driving school's vehicle. I had to pay a driving school like, $400 for driving lessons and convince them to let me use their car to take the driving test.
I did ALL of that, and then failed the test the first time because of ONE mistake I made. Like not looking both ways, or something really stupid. I then had to try again in two weeks, pay more money to the driving school, and I ended up getting a perfect score and finally got my driver's license, which I then proceeded to never actually use, because cars are still super f*cking expensive to own. But it got me a better paying job.
Had the laws not been so utterly f*cking idiotic and biased towards wealthy people, or I was just upper-middle-class enough to have two loving parents who owned a car and would let me use it because they didn't have to actually work on weekdays or something, then I probably would've been able to properly practice for free without paying a driving school the few dollars I had, and would've aced the driving test on my first try. I only got it on the second try because I didn't have the money to waste and wasn't trying to do this BS a third time for another $400.14 Reply- +1 y
That's such other bullsh*t, then. That's like, extortion. If a driver's license is required there, how can they MAKE you pay a sh*t-ton of money at driving school to get one? That's pure discrimination against the poor. I was annoyed I had to do that in my own city/state, but the fact that an entire country can f*ck you over like that is ridculous!

+1 yI got mine on the first attempt. When I got my license, they had just begun that requirement here in PA of having to have 65 hrs + 6 mo. of time on your Permit before you could apply for your license. But since then, they changed the rules... the required hours and six months only applies if you are under the age of 18.
10 Reply4.6K opinions shared on Other topic. Once. My 16th birthday fell on a Saturday, so I had to wait 2 days to get it. But I'd been driving on backroads since I was 14, on manual transmission cars.
Since then, I've driven just about every common land vehicle you could probably name, from motorcycles to semi-trucks to buses to forklifts.10 Reply3.2K opinions shared on Other topic. 3 on both practical and theory, lol.
To be fair, on the practical the dude said twice "You did nothing wrong, but it feels like you need more experience". The third time I looked at him and said "This time you better give it to me or give me a valid fucking reason".10 ReplyOnce, got lucky. Although it was a younger guy doing my road test and I'd wore one of my shorter skirts.
