Hi Bebs, we are not yet old to get it..I am working with ladies in the hospital who are 60-70 plus and who are still driving...It is really a necessity here since we public transportation is not that easy as what we have and unlike in our COuntry, we can sometimes ask our relatives to drive us but here, everyone is busy working and no one will care to do it for us...LOL! I didn't even take the learner's permit yet, I know it's been a year here and I need to do something,,,,hopefully this year!

I've been driving since I was 18. I started at 18, I had student driver's license, then after 3 months I had my non-pro license. I've been driving stick shift roughly 6 years. I learned driving when my mom asked me if I want to learn driving back in first year College. Had I think 4 days or 5 days of hands on training on the real road test, never had lecture about road signs and such.. That I could remember of. So after I've completed the hands-on, I did ask our driver that time to teach me, did practice on the highway. I was of course freaking nervous but I didn't let that get in my way. I had few scratches and very minimal dents. And never wrecked a car! And so I started not to believe in the saying, "You will never learn driving unless you crash the car!" Screw that. I guess I was just good and all.. Lol I'm planning to sell my car and get a automatic.. Though I love stick shift, traffic is just so bad in PI, and I want my foot to be at rest...

I was in my twenties before I got my license and it was spooky for my, mostly interstate stuff I still hate that part but it is easier. Though I do have to admit that I have given up my license for a while because I don't trust my eyesight. I was in an accident and I think it was mostly due to a loss of dept perception so until I get lasic I will not be driving. I am sure that you will do fine just remember two things #1 don't let other drivers push you into driving faster than you are comfortable with (you know those jerks that ride on your tail to get you to speed up) #2 keep the distractions to a minimum. You do this and then in no time you will be driving like a pro.

don't feel bad I've been here 25 years and I don't have a license. I'm not that crazy about driving like you I only drove around the corner and down the street. I think if I would drive I probably would have killed someone by now, maybe myself too. Ha Ha

I got mine when I was 16. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have my license b/c I do a lot of running b/c my boys are in sports. I don't think being older is too late to learn as long as you're capable of driving, reflexes good, eyesight is good,....there are some younger drivers who I don't know how they got their license. If this is something you want to do I say you have every right just like everyone else to have one =)

i too dont have a drivers licence but i feel the need now as i cannot always depend on my hubby as he is quite busy with his job.for small small things,i wont have to depend on him(like going to grocery store)

I have a driver's license, I just don't have a car to drive! lol! I moved to a city that has public transportation, I prefer taking it than driving. I like to drive when it's a long drive but not when I'm just going to work.

I am not a lady you know but I will encourage you to learn how to drive because if you seen there people driving at their 70's and 80's why can't you when I know your just 69 he he he he he oh no I was just joking seriously I encourage you to learn how to drive you have a little advantage there if you know how to drive..good luck my friend...take care of your driving...

Hello Bebs08! I would be like you too. I don't have a driver's license yet, but they said we really need it especially there in the US. Now you made me scared..hehehe..While reading to your discussion, I told myself "would it be hard for me?"lol! But my cousin is in Ohio and she just learned how to drive there. She said driving is not really hard and I believe her because she didn't take a driving lesson. Her husband just taught her.

I got my license when i was 17 and my permit at 15. My granma is 81. She still drives. She laid off it for a while because she was having eye problems. She got eye surgery done and now she drives again. I guess it just depends on the person.

My husband never wanted me to sdrive. He drove or he employed a driver to take where I wanted to go. when I insisted he still did not like it but he was starting to get sick and I said to him that there would not be anyone to drive him to hospital iof he tok sick at night. so I was over 40 when I learnt to drive and it sis take me a little longer because I used a stick shift. I have never regretted learning to drive and when he was sick I did have to drive everywhere. YOur life will chnage so just do it. Of course you can! Go for it!

Hi, I am taking driving lessons now. I have to admit that I am scared of driving at first but you will find driving to be fun after knowing the basics. I started my driving lessons about one month ago. I regretted that I start to learn driving a few years after the lawful driving age in my country. I think everyone should learn how to drive as it is a very practical skill.

i didn't have driver's license here,seems no need to driver here,many people make the place too crowded.many car,so i don't want to drive ,it wil make me crazy.

I don't have driver's license my friend. I know a little driving but not enough to brave the risky roads of Makati and Manila. My husband taught me how to drive some 4 years ago but I only drive in isolated places like inside the subdivision, mountain sides, memorial parks and the likes ! (Ha!ha!ha!ha!, where there are not much vehicle and just for fun. I just know the basics on how to move the vehicle but certainly I am very far from being proficient. As of now I think I will not not be needing a license as I have my son and my hubby to drive for me. But certainly, I believe driving is an important skill and it is a big plus if you know how to. Age is not a hindrance to know driving and securing a license for as long a you are are still strong and capable.

I didn't get mine until I was in my 30s and I still dont use it. I hate driving and I rather not ever drive unless its a neccessity.

I got mine when I was 21, but I usually don't drive anywhere because we only have 1 car, and my husband takes it to work. I believe, no matter how old you are, if you're willing to try, willing to learn, and believe in yourself, you can do anything you set your mind too. It's never too late to learn to do something new. Good Luck!!!!!!
