Lifescouts: Driving

Hi!

I hope you guys are enjoying the Lifescouts posts. I feel like this badge isn't that big of an accomplishment:

However after writing that, I realize that having the ability to drive is kind of an accomplishment since there are many people who have tried multiple times to get their license and have failed. I was on track with getting my license. Where I live, you can get your learner's permit at 15 after passing a written multiple choice test about the laws of driving. I went to the DMV on my birthday after taking countless practice tests online and freaking myself out to the point that I tried to convince my mom not to take me. She however thought I was freaking out for no reason and insisted we go. To my surprise I got a 100 on the written exam. I was then able to start driving with a licensed driver in the front seat and begin learning how to physically drive. I learned how to drive mainly by my mom and took a driving class as well so I could get my regular license early. Then came the day where I actually had to drive. The one thing I always had an issue with was the 100 ft backup because for some reason I always drifted to the middle of the road. Which of course I ended up doing when taking my actual driving test. However, my examiner was nice enough to let me retry the 100 ft backup after finishing the rest of the test. Thus, I got my license!

Did you have a hard time getting your driver's license? Or do you not need to drive a car where you live?
