best time to learn to drive
What's the best part of life to learn to drive?
When you're 17, you got your a-levels to worry about, but often your parents pay for the lessons for your birthday.
After your a-levels you need to be saving up for uni costs.
During uni, you have no money and are busy either studying or working, trying to get enough money.
After uni, you still have no money as you have a student loan to pay off, plus when you start work, you'd have to have lessons after work, which are more expensive.
But then after that you have to buy a house and i'll have to have a mortgage, which means i'll still have no money.
Then i might have a family, which means i'll have even less money.
So by my reckoning, unless I don't learn to drive when i'm 17, I won't have enough money to, untill I don't have a mortgage on my house and any kids have left home. Is there any other way round this problem, unless my family win the lottery?

I got lessons for my 21st birthday and carried them on.
I eventually passed my test after 3 goes and drove full time from then on.
The only problem was I did not have my own car and my Dad was very very wary of letting me drive his!!!
I finally got my own car once I got married, Mr Funny bought me a little runaround.
I know the lessons cost a fortune these days, but back then they were cheap and my problem was just saving to buy a car.

I want to, and all my friends will, and it's useful. If I cam back to roughly where I live now, and worked at CEFAS, I could get a bus to work, but finding a place to work and either an affordable house thats not in a rough area that's either within wlaking distance or on a bus route will probably be tricky.
Hippy, but if I don't learn quick enough and pass my test soon, it'll be winter and I don't want to not have the confidance to drive through the bad weather. Plus my parents aren't going to pay for it so i doubt i'll learn when i'm 17, which means, I won't learn until i'm mortgage free, with no kids.
Lol Molly! That’s reality, and going through the stages of living life there’s a thing called sacrifice. Most of us make great sacrifices in order to achieve the things we want in life. When someone wants something bad enough they do what they need and have to do in order to accomplish and become successful.
