I am so excited my son passed his drivers license today. I know many other families have kids that passed but this has been a journey :D He first went for him permit when he was maybe 17 and I don't think he was really into it. Then he tried taking the test 7 times finally passed for his permit. Then he had his permit for a year and last year we re-newed it since he hadn't gone for his test. With the 3 weeks remaining on his permit he finally went for his test. YES he passed 1st try. I had to thank my one friend for all of the tips since her daughter just passed a few weeks ago.
Now we have to worry about insurance, and finding him a car. (I told him he is going to need to ask for more hours at work). As it is he is only working like one day a week.
I have been very behind on Live Journal about 10 days behind now. Once I get caught up, I will doing another book posting. (I am sure everyone is thrilled) Yeah right. But I am going to try to shoot for at least once a month :)
Well that is all for now. I let him have the honors of calling everyone, and since I am so excited I just had to update my journal!!

I will tell him congrats. He was so excited since it took him so long for the permit and he was a nervous wreck getting his license. He really thought he would fail the first time. Now he just has to save money for a car and then go and get a full time job.

Date: 2011-02-16 03:22 pm (UTC)I'm hearing more and more that kids are waiting longer to get their license. I had a "hardship" permit when I was 15 so I've been driving for a long time now.
Last year at Yaoicon, our roommate had friends who were attending for the 1st time, and one of them was 28 and he didn't have a license yet.
I remember being a nervous wreck when taking the test. I failed the driving part the 1st time but passed on the second try.
