Nope. Here you can get your license when you turn 16 and take driver's ed when you're like 15 & 1/2. I took my test with my driver's ed teacher so i don't have to take one at the DMV....It's a new option if you get and A on the written test and an A in the behind the wheel test. So, basically, i'm just waiting a month and a half....
The girl i like has to take driver's ed the same way i had to do....Before school

The class is from 6:20-7:20 AM every school day for 6 weeks. Yeah that sucks. To make things worse, she's joining the "cheerleaders" and they practice @ like 6:30 AM too (i don't know why she wants to join it, the cheerleaders @ my HS are all idiots who get thrown off the team because their grades go too low). Last year they had 2 cheerleaders who actually made it through the whole basketball season. But if that'd make her happy....i say go for it.
