Can you drive?
 

Can you drive?

Sadly no. I think i might learn though.

I can, my love.

I voted yes, but are you asking if we can drive, or if we can drive? :think:

I mean do u have a license

A license or a licence?

Ashley drives with two bottles of wine inside her.

:joker:

Driver´s license costs over 1000 € here. And that´s only the basic stage. More if you need to use the track to practice, other practice, exam price, advanced stage, upgrade course to M-B etc.

I think you can pay it in parts, but that´s still very costly.

Then yes. :hee:

Am I Kinga?

Really? Wow :shocked:

And that´s the cheapest price. :skull:

Also you have long waiting period (3 months) before you can go attempt the advanced stage.

Yes, 10 years on the road just gone.

No, I was born deaf (although I'm not anymore) and have a lot of issues because of it when it comes to spatial awareness and hand-eye co-ordination and such and I've never felt comfortable with the idea of driving a 2 ton killing machine.

I've also been run over so that plays on my mind a lot when it comes to the thought of driving.

whaaat!? what happened?

Years ago when I was in school, I was in a rush because i was late and ran out because I thought the road was clear but it wasn't and I got hit by a big ol' range rover.

jesus, did you break anything? bet you gave that poor range rover driver ptsd!!

That's some serious stuff there! Glad you survived it (as are you no doubt).

You said you were born deaf but aren't any more. Did you get one of those cochlear implant jobbies ?

Absolutely love your Kate Bush Avatar and Sig. pics!!!! I'm a HUGE Kate Bush fan. Probably (imo) the most talented musician ever.
I've got a really good CD that's all demo and different versions of her songs. Think it's a Bootleg/Unofficial disc but it's definitely worth having.
I've got quite a lot of her earlier stuff on Vinyl as well as CD. Sounds fantastic on Vinyl!

oh wow I never knew that Dezzy, that's great that you were able to be cured though :love:

And yes i drive, i couldn't not drive where I live tbh

:joker:

Yah I can

I can drive and people are driven - Highgate driven up the wall :joker:

Yes of course

I broke my foot and cut my eyelid.

They gave a card to the school to give me, it had a lot of money in it and that's the story of my first bribe.

Yeah, I had no serious injuries in the end but got a lifelong cautious attitude when it comes to roads and a distrust of drivers.

Yeah pretty much, I've had nine operations where they've had to put in implants, T-Tubes, Grommets and such.

She's a goddess <3

:love:

You ran out in the road so don't see how you can distrust drivers I think you are more cautious.

I hit a 8 year old girl years ago when she ran in the road,thankfully she was ok but got up and ran off like a cat.

I always give people on the road plenty of room

Nope, don't plan on doing so either

I can't really answer the poll. I'm a learner. So I 'd say I can pretty much drive but I don't have a license :laugh:

I can't drive but I passed my theory test today :hugesmile: so hopefully I'll pass the practical soon enough :)

Yeah, i haven't driven for some time. I fell asleep at the wheel and had quite a serious crash. It was just fortunate that there were no other cars about at the time (it happened at 3.30am). It's made me very cautious about driving ever since.

That's fantastic that they fixed your hearing. Do you have full hearing now ?

I drive. Cant imagine not being able to to be honest. Learned when I was 17.

I'm learning atm, my driving instructor said I will probably pass between January-March next year.

Not old enough, but when I am ill definitely consider it. The only problem is, I get a gut feeling I'll be **** at it so idk whether to get lessons and prove myself wrong or just not drive.

My dad is very keen for me to learn as soon as I'm 17 and thinks it's just Best for me to sit on my license (metaphorically) until I feel comfortable/can afford a car but idk yet.

No but starting to learn in Feb (when I turn 17)

I'm glad you're okay :hug: I could only imagine how much of an effect something like that would have had on you.

My hearing is below average overall, it's strong in some areas but quite weak in others. I'm happy enough though.

Thanks hun. :hug:
I was at my mates house and i nodded off and woke up remembering that i had work in the morning so decided (stupidly) to drive home. I was driving along a 300 yard straight and fell asleep, crossed the other lane and hit a wall. I was fine apart from a few knocks and bumps but my car was written off.
I just couldn't get the thought out of my head of what could have happened if someone was coming the other way in the other lane. It got me really depressed. It was quite a while ago now though so i've just gotta' learn from it.

It must be fantastic coming from not being able to hear at all to having nearly normal hearing. Music is a huge part of my life and i've played the guitar for years so i can't imagine not being able to hear.

Badly, yh.

Yep. Passed my test three years ago at the grand old age of 36...absolutely obsessed with cars now, so glad i persevered...

Yeah for a while now. Although I started driving (consistently) like 2 years after I got my license.

Yeah probably better to just get it and not use it than to wait it out. Especially if the UK is similar to the US where they teach Driver's Ed in high school and you take the written test there?

I waited too long to take my driving test so then I had to re-take the written test (idk why). Plus, even if you don't use it it'll look like you have a clean record for a while in case you end up getting pulled over or something once you actually start driving/learning.

I can and can't imagine life not being able too

No, we don't have that! But thanks for the advice :)
