In Massachusetts you need to be 16 1/2 to get your license, its ridiculous. I dont think any other state has a higher requirment

Yeah... I lived in New York and Texas for a year or two each...
I don't really remember New York much, or Germany, but in Texas you had to be 16 1/2.

Actually night, you only have to be 16. You can apply for your permit at 15, and (I think) get a hardship license to drive. When you're 16, you have a restricted license until you're 18. Then, no restrictions. Yes! I can finally go over to Mexico and get wasted!

Here in Canada, you have to wait two years after you get your learners to get your drivers. And there's a new law coming into place, where you can't get your learners until 16 so you can't get your drivers until 18. Fortunately I'm only 15 now, just turned it last month.

Well its kinda the same thing in MA... Except the only way to get your license before 18 is to spend around the neighborhood of $500 for driver's ed

Fools....I took the at home course and only paid $20! Of course, all my friends think I'm stupid for not taking Driver's Ed. for the lower insurance, but I say to them: Drivers Ed = $$$$$$ One defensive driving class = $$. They both accomplish the same thing, lower payments! Suckers!

We offer drivers ed in high school so I get it for free. You just have to pay $100 for behind the wheel.

See, there you go again. $100 vs. $20. But, I see what your point is. I heard that the Driver's Ed classes here (private org.) are around $250-300! My friend got kicked out of that class because she "gave a smart remark." She told me she got it straight out of the book. Stupid old man.

No kidding!
I wish I could've taken an at home test... a friend of mine failed the written three times!
Luckily he has "connections" so he can re-take it as many times as he wants.
Anyway, yeah the driver's-ed test here cost about 70 pounds... about 80 dollars... but that's for all the cheap stuff that doesn't really teach you anything. My mother was the real one who taught me to drive, they just kind of liscensed me.

D.E was 195 and I don't think you had to pay for your behind the wheel stuff if you missed one then you had to pay 35 for their time.
