What state do you live in?? Where I live in Ohio you get something called your TEMPS which all you do to obtain is go to a driving center and pick up a packet and fill out your information (Name, address, phone etc.). Then you have to complete 50 learning hours driving with a guardian in the car with you. Finally you take classes and take the real test for your driving license. By the way you get your TEMPS at 15 and a half and license at 16. I still gotta finish my 50 hours. It is stupid because you could not drive for an hour and they couldn't find out but my parents are keeping a chart of the time. It stinks but I guess I'll be ahead of the game when it comes to the test!
