When I was 14, I lied to girls and said I was 15, so they'd think I had a permit. And at 15, I said I was 16, so they'd think I drove. I think 21 is the only age in which you never have to lie about age.
Too bad I can't get my permit until 17 here. Damn NJ license laws. And NJ has this graduated licensing bull****. We get some crap called a learner's permit at age 16. Age 18 is our unrestricted license. SC doesn't have any of this crap. If I were in SC, i would have my permit today. License would've been next year. But i'm stuck in the worst state in America, NJ.
