Hardship Liscense

[nocturnal]

I live in the state of TX and tried googling this subject but I found nothing! I'm just starting driver's ed, and wanting to drive immediately (well maybe a week or two). I really don't want to wait 6 month's to be able to drive by myself. Do I all I need is a good reason (job, school) and I can get one?

this is insane. It took me around 5 months. And i am glad i did, because if i did not i probably caused some accidents! Some things can't be learned the fast way.

Heyyo,

Well, in Canada if you take driving courses, it cuts your waiting period for your full class licence in half... dunno if it's the same deal elsewhere in the world....

[stefanhendriks]

At here, you have to take courses , theoretical, and practical. Theoretical is self-study with an exam. Then you need to do practice courses (can be even without theoretical exam finished). At the end, to do the final exam you need the theoretical exam, and you also did a 'pre-exam' in practice.

The waiting for a practice exam is around 1 month or more. It costs around 250 euro's for that exam. Each driving lesson is for 45 minutes around 40 euros or something.

Heh I heard about this one guy that got his Class 1 liscense in Canada, or whatever it was called. I think it was like a better permit. Anyway, he moved down to Pennsylvania and they gave him a full liscense. Oops!

Don't mess around with a car, guys. A car is a weapon.

[stefanhendriks]

Yeah, and some people are just freaking insane in a car. They think they own the road! Be carefull at all times, and watch your back (literally) for insanity.

Heyyo,

Lol, true, But I'm french-canadian eh? I get a good kick outta pissin' off people on the road.

When a tailgater, 2-3 inches from my bumper starts slammin' the horn with his head, and tryin' to pass me, but I speed up in time to force him back again, and then he finally gives me room behind my car? I feel like I've done good things for the community by calming his road rage with pranks.

Also, flippin' those bastards the bird can help too, especially when you're doing that in a fashion meaning, "get the **ck back, you **********rs" Ain't it great to be in control of road-ragers??? lmao

BUT, remember, for your road tests, (at least in canada that is), say that if there's someone with road-rage behind you, you're "supposed" to pull over, and let them by. Lol, it's like full stops at stop signs, who does that eh? lol, even the police do the rolling stop.

8o

what you say would be inimaginable in France... not stopping at full stops, pushing the gas when someone tries to pass you... OMG! you canadians drive like yankees or what ?

Heyyo,

Lol, I have a bit of yank in me dude, born in Cali.

I dunno, I do it for self-enjoyment.
