Driving license is something what you dream of when are a teenager. I started to want to drive a car when I was 18 years old. I know that in some countries you are able to drive from age 16. Not here in Latvia though, you have to wait till you are 18.
I got my driving license when I was 21 years old. I learned for some 6 months and passed exam very easy!
Now I am driving for 5 years almost every day, and I think I could tell that I am a pretty good driver. No extreme things on a road :) NO one says: "Watch out! Lady's driving!" :p

I was 15 when i started driving. And i am 21 now and still dont have a license. But thank god i was never caught by the traffic police, otherwise in my country they put you in jail for 24 hours for not having a license. I am planning to make my license this year. Hope i will pass in the first try

I started driving at 10 in the hayfields, not on the roads. Here we're allowed to get a permit at 15 and that's when I got mine. The permit lets you drive anywhere but you have to have a licensed driver over the age of 18 with you. When you're 16 then you can get your license to drive alone and that is when I got mine. I can remember being so excited to drive those fields, then so excited (and scared) to drive on the road, and then so excited to be able to drive anywhere I wanted alone!
Now of course it's just routine.
