Drivers License

Since people tend to talk about everything and nothing on this place and since having a drivers license is a good thing to have, I thought I could tell everyone that I got mine today.

I succeeded on my first try, and only 13 days before army training. Which is nice.

Have a good day.

 

364 days.

I'm turning 19 tomorrow

 

Congratulations with your driver's license. Are you going to buy your own car, or shall you use the car of your parents?

 

Given that you're in the military, I recommend either a pre-2005 Mustang, or lifted truck that will never get dirty.

But yea, congratulations! Driving is fun.

 

Since I will join the army, and therefore will have basically no time to use it, nor have any money to buy one, I shall use the wheel of my parents.

 

Was it the first attempt, wobbler?

EDIT:

Okay, disregard that. Just be happy with your wheels. Or your parents' wheels. Or just any wheels you get. Go GTA.

 

Congrats wobbler! First-try successes are awesome!

(Down where I live, it's accepted that you'll get failed on your first attempt, mostly because our local testers are bastards. Thank goodness I don't have a car licence.)

 

Congrats buddy.

Not sure how it is culturally outside the US since automobiles are a very large part of life over here, but getting your driver's license is something of a rite of passage in the USA.

Here's some advice from a law-abiding, upstanding citizen regarding driving.

 

I have not got a driver's license as well. Each year I told myself "Now I will get one", but it still has not happened.

Here in the Netherlands, automobiles are important as well, because the ticket to go with busses and trains cost a lot. The weirdest thing about this is that the government want to stimulate the people to go with them, but still making it expensive.

 

It's a good thing that fuel and cars are free.

 

Actually, I am not surprised any more because the Dutch Government loves to contradict it self.

 

Edited for enhanced accuracy.

Arth: Most governments are contradictions. Ours is exceedingly so.

 

Just don't do what I did and spend 12 hours downing most of a carton of stout , 2 weeks after getting your license only to drive home 8 hours later, on 3 hours of sleep and forgetting to hold the steering wheel straight for 10 metres or so...

Oh and speaking of army drivers, friend of mine was clocked going 140kmh on the highway (was only meant to be doing 80), somehow he managed to talk the officer into letting him keep one point on his license until getting back from Malaysia. In other words, if you want to be stupid with your parents wheel do so in a far away place before you leave, if you do.

EDIT: Damn I missed the whole black hole/girlfriend thing. Yes cars will do that, my first car was a tiny 1.8L bmw (old one) and as if driving that ~300 km's to go camping every weekend on the holidays wasn't bad enough, I sold it and bought a 4.2 Jag. I'm fucking walking everywhere now because it burns so much bloody petrol.

It's nearly as freaky as the milk carton in my fridge having the lable stuck on the wrong side, very difficult to pour into shot glass. Freakily that makes me wonder why I'm mixing milk with Tasmanian rum anyway...

 

I'll keep mixing everything together until I receive superpowers or create gold. Does milk have any notable alchemical properties?
