Drivers Ed

[maconmagnolia]

What was your drivers ed. experience like? I went to an extremely small high school in a small town, so my track coach taught my driver's ed class. It was really fun.

How old were you when you got your license? Sixteen.

Did you pass on the first try? Yes. In Illinois, you don't have to parallel park (at least where I took it.) If I would have had to parallel park, I probably would have failed!

Any funny mistakes while behind the wheel? I got a speeding ticket exactly a week after I got my license. I was going 63 in a 55. I hate getting in trouble, so I started crying immediately once I was pulled over. However, once the cop saw what a new driver I was, he had very little sympathy. :P

Did you ever freak your parents out? My daddy taught me how to drive, and I think I gave him a few gray hairs. However, besides that one speeding ticket, I've yet to get a ticket and I haven't gotten in a wreck, so I think my parents trust me now! :P
