Driver's license

**Martin** · 4 Weeks Ago

After talking to quite a few people about this I'm curious how it is for you all. 1. see the poll, 2. How much did/would it cost in total for all lessons and exams if you don't fail?

Here it'll cost me 1400EUR which is: $1968.78

It was around $480 for my Drivers' Ed Classes, and I forget how much for the actual test... Around $100 I think?

HOLY SHIZ MARTIN THAT'S EXPENSIVE. D:

It probably cost me $200 total. I took Driver's Ed through my high school.

And I have my motorcycle license too, but that only cost like...$40.

Drivers Ed is going to cost me about 600 dollars, and with all the money I've put into school I just haven't had it to spend. Then my road test is something like 100 to drive, which isn't bad.

I have a car and everything... I just need to learn how to drive. :P

Probably cost me around $400 altogether.

When I took driver's ed 6 year's ago, it was $350 in my town. It's now up to $800+, which is absurd. I think it may be an incentive to have kids wait until they are a little older so there are not as many young people on the road.

0$ for drivers ED, probably less than 50$ for the tests (I don't remember).

I have driving authorizations for "car" and "motorcycle". Whooo-hooo!

In ontario we've got this ridiculous licensing system. First you write a test and get the G1. Then you have to wait a year (or 8 months if you take driving school) to get the G2. Then you have to wait another year so you can take a road test to get your G, which is the final step. If you wait too long to get the next step, the whole process starts over. No refund.

In Ohio, assuming you are over 21 (I was) and you don't require drivers ed (only for the kiddies), it cost me $45. However, I wonder if the high cost of licensing over in Europe contributes to the generally safer roads?

$10 for my permit, $25 for the license. Easiest tests of my life!

And people wonder why Arizona has such terrible drivers!
