Actually my brother and my best friend both got it on first try too, so I felt quite a bit of pressure to achieve the same. When I parked the car and the evaluator started saying "I'll give you your license...", it was one of the greatest moments of relief in my life. Then she started criticizing my driving style, but I wasn't listening too much. :p

Is it hard where you are?
Couldn't speak in general. I have friends who tried numerous times and got failed for stupid things each time. At the same time, I made some pretty obvious mistakes during my driving test and still got it. I think trying in the winter is harder, while autumn is probably ideal (best visibility and road condition).

I thought I was the only 1 who got my drivers license late. I got my drivers license like 1 1/2 to 2 months ago and I'm already 21 (all of my friends drive). Going to be getting a car soon myself, probably a 2000 Celica GT for ~$4500 from a friend. The thing that sucks is that it's a stick (learned on an automatic) and driving an auto doesn't even feel completely natural to me yet. Oh well, another obstacle to overcome ;)

But anyway, congrats :)

I remember how nervous I was when I had mine. But, I had the nicest guy. He could obviously tell I was extremely nervous... telling me to "Do what the law tells you" as we approached each stop sign. I was so nervous, I forgot which way I need to move the lever for my left and right turn signals. He's standing behind the car, and he says, "Okay, go ahead and hit your left turn signal". I guessed, and luckily, I was right.

Congrats. Just don't go out there and abuse it like many young people tend to do (drinking/partying comes to mind). Remember: driving is a *privilege* not a *right* (at least in the US and contrary to what many teens would like to think).

Congrats Dr_Asik! (Y)

You're not the only one Se7enVII. I passed my driving test first time in the UK in July and I'm 23 :) I didn't see the point in learning at University as I knew I wasn't getting a car, so I just left it until after I graduated.

you are not the only one and i got my license at 23 as well =P

need a car to work... cant get my friends to drive me to work and back >.>

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
