for me the wait for driving was partily bad timing, when i was 15 night before i left (parents divorced viseting dad) my dad took me out pratice driving, he had said he would finish teaching me how to drive the next viset.
I am 26 i haven't seen him since, only in the last year found out where he lives
my mom would always say "I'll take you out pratice driving this weekend" and it would never happen
and i didnt puch it much as some times i would not be sure how many aciddents my mom has had in a year me and my brothers have a healthy fear of driving
you might be saying "dont you have a friend or a older brother who could teach you"
older brother can't drive and at the time (well 18-21) I litraly had one friend in the world and he died when i was 21
so to school n such what i did was bus it to and fro
I made some new friends and one took be out a few times driveing but we didnt get along for a while and that stopped and i switched from mt hood to psu
when i went to psu it really wasnt an issue as to lack of parking and $$ and the great bus system
now i have a job that is not convent to get to by bus and they require a valid driers licence,
my fiance chris has been teaching me to drive starring in spring-summer with parking lot driving then working my way up from there
