I failed my first time, too. And I had a car my parents bought for me just to practice on. Don't be discouraged.

If I were still there, I'd have you to my house to practice on one or both of my cars.

My suggestion is that you use your learner's permit as much as possible. When your parents go food shopping, ask to drive. Saturday errands? Ask to drive. Etc.

no one gets it, do they?

Do your parents not have a car? What car did you use for your test?

[mwyaren]

the car from the driving school. the reason i had to finally suck it up and go to driving school is because bob has refused to teach me and forbidden me to use the car to learn on. and i've tried asking as recently as last week.

So what will you drive if you pass?

[mwyaren]

i'll buy something of my own. i'm only staying here as long as it takes to straighten out the car/new job situation. i'm going crazy.

You should be able to buy a car ahead of time, something low priced and reasonable, and pay to insure it on your parents' car insurance until you can pass the test and put it in your name.

That's what I did - and I owned my first car at 17 (it had been purchased for me when I was 16, but we transferred the title when I turned 17 and had my license and my own insurance).

i kind of need the car to get a second job so i can afford the car.

We'll have to chat. :-) I think we can work something out.
