I've been in this situation before and it's hard.
I would make an appointment to talk to your professor- one on one. Go to his/her office and explain your situation. If you're confused on material, there is no better source for clarification than the prof. Ask if he/she is willing to help you personally or if there is a learning center on campus that provides tutors. Most campuses have something like this, even community colleges. Also, ask your prof how to better prepare for the quizzes/tests in the class. If the study guide is really long, start working on it the day you get it. Do a little bit each day and a review session the night before over the whole guide.
I wouldn't even bring up the driver's license issue with your parents- one of my sisters just got hers at the age of 20! There are ways around not having one. Talk to people in your classes- the ones you know who are doing well. See if they would be willing to help you out after or before class- you could offer to buy lunch or someting in return.
No matter what- STUDY!! Go home every day after class and review your notes, reread the chapter, make note cards, recopy your notes- anything to restress what you learned.
Do NOT drop the class- even if you end up not being able to pass. By staying in the class the entire semester, you are at least hearing everything you will need next semester. Worse comes to worse, you have to retake the class next semester. If you have to, talk to the professor immediately and ask how to better prepare yourself for the tests.
