Enjoy that you do not live in Europe, especially in Poland. We have a very strict driving courses, and you must have at least 18 years old, from what I know it only in Europe, only the UK can make driving at 17.

I do not have a license, and not need it, because I can not afford a car. You write that your younger cousin is preparing to acquire a driving license and is younger than you. This reminds me of my first communion, I received it together with Confirmation, as I was much older, because I could not get at the age of eight years along with the other kids.


You don't need your own car, you can use your parents' or borrow one from a friend if you needed to. A license is still useful to have even if you don't have your own vehicle.


I live with my mom, we do not have a car.

Taking a driving license in Poland is very difficult, the exam is very challenging. Some people repeated it 6-10 times and every retake cost 1000 Zł.

How are your driving license :-)

Cheer up, I'm sure someday you will have a driving license. And so you're lucky that you live in America. In Europe, making driving much more difficult.
I have 27 years old and do not have a license, but mainly for the fact that I am an unemployed full time student :) But if I had a job and i would afford a car, i certainly would have enroll to driving course.

My mom has some objections, similar to what has your grandmother that I have Asperger's syndrome that can cause an accident, and all that nonsense. Although she tells me that when I signed up for a course that will support me:)

From you post i presume you are bit jelly about you cousin.

"Jealous lead to dark side, and that bad is that" :D

And how old are you?

If you are 18, your mom has little to say, if you earned your own money, and you self paid for driving course

So I was just wondering if not enroll in a course of driving.

In my country, in Poland it is very difficult to get a driver's license, the course is quite difficult, many people in our twenties do not have a license. As for Asperger's I do not think that was the problem. As for driving in many states you can get it for free in the army
In Poland, until 2010 was the universal conscription, when I go before the commission draft board in 2004 when i turned 18, I was stupid to say i had a knee injury, and doctor turned me down :(

I'm thinking of taking a driver's license, my mom also is quite skeptical about this, but she says that would support me.

Like I said many countries are paying for the driving course if you sign up for the army.
