Zx_777 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Man, I was planning to post on here a bit more, but the sudden life changing inevitability of DRIVERS EDUCATION BOOK CLASS reared up on me. Three weeks of learning stuff from some textbook that has the same stuff in the state-provided manual that they base the test on, but a lot more compensable than the manual will ever be. *headdesks* And I still have to do six hours of driving class. Imagine...you forget one simple thing, bam, point accumulated! Thankfully, instant failure doesn't seem as easy as I thought. Will I be able to deal with such a short time of required driving? Will I end up backing up the drivers ed car into a tree? Will I pick up my sword and stand my ground against the horrid, disgusting, and rather unpleasant PARALLEL PARKING? ...Are you kidding me? *runs behind trash can* Well, I'll try my best... :crying: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Levy Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 What state do you live in? It sounds almost exactly of what I had to go through last year. Easy as pie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie_Penguin Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Well, actually your parents can teach you how to drive and then you can take the test. My friend did that, but I don't know if your state allows it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Levy Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Pfft, yeah Ellie you can do that but you won't get the insurance benefits from taking drivers ed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torridity Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Haha. I failed my first learner's permit test, because I didn't read the book. Stupid, huh? I haven't had time so I still haven't read the book and I still don't have my learner's permit. Maybe when I'm 17... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Levy Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Most of the tests are just common knowledge and common sense questions. Things like, "You don't pass on double yellow lines." And, "Red means stop." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Cheese Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 here, you can get your G1 licese (or learners permit) without even knowing how to drive, you go take a fairly simple test and you can then drive basically anywhere as long as you have someone with their license as a passenger. Drivers Ed just gets you a reduction on insurence... and well teaches you how to drive :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lili Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I just finished Driver's Ed a couple weeks ago. It was incredibly boring...but hey, now I know random road rules that are almost never used. Haha. The person teaching my class was possibly the most annoying man on Earth. You have no idea. He would try to expand upon some rule or whatever, but end up getting sidetracked and eventually get on the subject of his college experiences. It was...horrible. I'm done ranting. Haha. Hopefully your driver's ed experience will be better than mine! ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fun_time_mathias Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I learn in an abandoned parking lot with my dad coaching me until I get into a driving school and eventually earn my liscense, but seeing as to how I won't own a car until after college, I'm taking my time.
