I feel so trapped without a driving license… can’t go anywhere…

I think everyone has a driver’s license at 16 here in the US, but I’m already over 18 with no license… :(

    Had my learner’s permit at 15, and regular license at 16, which is pretty standard in the US. The driving school for me was literally the high school. Like, the driving class was one of the classes you take in your regular school. That is also pretty common in the US.

        Oh interesting, maybe it’s just more of a western US thing and I assumed it was the whole country. I live in Utah now, and every high school has it here. Also every high school (from what I remember) in California also had it.

          I had drivers ed in my high school in PA 2 decades ago, but I think the school district I’m currently living in no longer had it, instead it’s all done through a driving school I think. I don’t think it was always that way, my guess is a “cost cutting” measure by the goo legislature at some point in the 2010s

        I took mine over summer break at my high school (birthday is at the end of the spring semester, so it was either that or wait 3 months). But it was definitely offered as just another class. Midwest, BTW.
