It was 30 days back when I got my license.  Now I think it's 6 months.  Needs to be closer to a full year IMO.
It is a full year in KY for full license. I turn 16 in 5 days, when I will get my temps. At 16.5, I get my intermediate license, which states that I can only have one person who is not in my immediate family in the car (retaaaarded). At 17, I get my full license.

I fucking hate these laws. I go to school in Ohio and carpooling is really important, especially since there will be 3-5 kids in my town/city/whatever who are going to my school in Ohio. Carpooling in this situation would be really nice, but the state of Kentucky doesn't think so.

And all of my friends, who live in Ohio, get their temps at 15.5 and full license at 16.

Trust me.  When I got my license at 16 I still thought it would be a good idea to drive 80 and do shit like racing through residential neighborhoods and shit.

You have to reach a certain age before you have much respect for the car itself.  Or else, you have to have an accident.  The later should be avoided.

Well, no offense, but I'm a little smarter than that. I don't drink, don't do drugs... I'm pretty damn squeaky clean. I feel like one or two retarded teens going hill-hopping and getting a car full of teens killed are restricting the rest of the state (hell, country even).

I passed my driving test the first time I passed it, but seriously, the driving tests here are so easy. It was basically a joke. The hardest thing we had to do was parallel park WITH the instructor helping us. I wouldn't mind the test being harder.

yea I had to stop at a few stop signs while driving thru a residential area. Then I turned out of the residential area to a main road for like 2 secs and parked in the DMV lot.

When I took it, where I still live, it was on a closed, constructed course. There was a straightaway, a lot of stop signs, parking areas, a place to parallel park blocked off by orange cones (so if you hit one you know you screwed it up), a 3pt turn area, and probably more but I forget right now. Now that I've been driving awhile of course it seems easy, except maybe the parallel parking because I've never had to in real life since, but at the time I was nervous because it was a 'course' not the real roads I was used to.

I'm glad you passed! :) See, you had it in you and you did it.

I got my permit and license the first time around. I had a lot of practice and studied endlessly for weeks. The handbook was my bible. Even now I still know the rules of the road and scold people while sitting in the passenger seat.

I got my permit about two months before I turned 16 and my full licence the same day a year later, and though I aced the hell out of the written test, the road test was a bare pass because I'd just never had any experience behind the wheel.  Never really had the change to drive anywhere and didn't have a car of my own until my freshman year in college, and even then my mom had to borrow it all the time.  And in all my wrecks, I was the only one in the car.

Now, as of next Thursday, I will have had my licence for a full 11 years, and I'm probably on my way to 300000 miles of driving experience, if I haven't passed it already.
