The timezones are still in effect.

Thanks everyone for their wishes. 
I actually took my permit test around this time last week, yet I failed because I forgot all the little details in a 60 page manual I read weeks beforehand (like, "you must stay 500 feet behind an ambulance on call"; I chose 300 feet for whatever reason on the multiple choice test). So now I have to study so I can try again next week! Oh well.
I never left, I just... stopped coming in here every day! See, there's a technical difference. I'm not like that guy MistaX who just drops things like they're bad habits. I sometimes pop in.Didn't he leave?
I can! I could have had my permit back in January, to be precise. The thing is, I didn't realize that until recently. The very earliest I could get my actual license would be in December.A few days late, but happy birthday!

Thanks for pointing this thread out to me, James. 👍Apologies for the latness, Evan.
Happy Eggday!

Damn, this is so corrupted. I'm 17 and I can't even get a license because my parent don't let me. 
Few of my friends had their license already (especially motorcycle license) and they could go anywhere with their scooter. My parents said I could get my license at the end of the year..... 
But whats the legal age to drive your own car there anyways? I think here you have to be 18 to drive your own car (and some say you have to be 21. )
Bah, never mind. I'll still have fun with what I have now. Wait till I get my license and my car......

This is where the difference between permits and licenses come in.
A permit is actually a Learner's Permit. In my day it was one month with the Learner's Permit and then you can get your license.
While using a Learner's Permit you had to have a licensed driver in the car with you if you were driving. Then they changed the law (here in Kentucky) to requiring a Learner's Permit for 6 months and the licensed driver also had to be over 18 years old. It prevents kids with permits from joy riding with their friend who just got their license.
To obtain a permit is just a written test.
Then after you pass the Permit time frame you then have to take a supervised (usually by a state police officer, or Department of Motor Vehicles representative) actual driving test. This is the most nerve wracking thing a 16-year-old can do. They sit in your passenger seat and give you directions. You have to follow them and perform all the safety maneuvers while doing it (check all mirrors, turn signal, etc). Whether you do good or bad the guy just goes, "Hurm," and makes marks on his clipboard. And if you are really lucky yo get the guy that likes to tell you to turn 3 feet before the intersection, and you have to somehow manage to check your mirrors, use your turn signal, and slow down smoothly in that half second he's given you.
And on a really lucky day you get this guy:
EWillis, please do your permit photo like that one. ^^^

That's interesting, here if you have a license you can drive ANY car, whether you own it or not. eg, drive your friend's car. I've never heard of only being able to drive your own car or parent's car. Also here, you get a Learner's license at 16 and have to have a fully licensed passenger with you whenever you drive. I think you have to have that for 6 months or something. We have L stickers on the front and back...
Also, thanks for all the tips guys.... 👍
