I need my license and a vehicle

[ancmetro]

      Try to get your driver license online first. Then with your license and a credit card you can rent a car at a cheap company. Try to find an experience driver and include that driver in your rental contract. Once you two are in the vehicle, ask the experience driver to teach you safety hints. Also, go to Utube and find videos on safety driving.

worry abut your license first and then a car..insurance is high..try for your license..even if you fail it will show you where you need to concentrate on

You are 29 and do not have your DL?  I can tell you this...if you do not have a DL you don't need to be driving to burger joints.  You get caught or are in an accident with no license you won't have to worry about getting one for a long time.  Especially if you cause injury or damage.

Best of luck to you - it does sound like a lot to figure out.  My son who is a little older than you is going through similar circumstances - just hang in there and little by little step by step hopefully things will fall into place for you.

Worry about getting your license first. Do you have a friend near you to help?

I would say focus on getting more work from home gigs so you can save more for a car.

I look at it this way - if you are barely scraping by as it is, you're going to have a harder time keeping up with the maintenance, insurance, keeping gas in it once you do get a car.

Just my two cents.

I don't know what I would do without my license and car!  Yes, I do, I would be walking a lot.  There isn't public transportation where I live.  Too rural.

also when you save you can take 1 or 2 dollars out of ever  shoping trip. its not much but with the other savings it will add up .

I don't really know your situation, but you are kind of old to just be getting your license.  I say that to say kids these days get their driving license at age 16-21, but I guess you waited, but get a friend to teach you.

I'll be 25 this May and I don't have my license, either. It's not that uncommon. My mother waited until she was well into her twenties, too. My partner's mother, who is 45, has never had her license.

JediJohnnie mentioned Uber, which I've used a few times and is awesome. The drivers are friendly, the fare is MUCH cheaper than a taxi, and if you don't live in a secluded town, there's bound to be at least a few Uber cars driving in the area. We live just outside a major city, so there's tons.

In any case, good luck with saving up and learning to drive! And don't feel bad about having waited so long. You can do it. Just carve out a couple days a week to have someone teach you--a friend, even a neighbor you're friendly with if they can spare the time--and commit to taking the test. If you've gone so far to get your learner's, you can take the next steps! I'm contemplating doing the same.

My son hasn't wanted  to drive until recently - when he was 5 years old a pediatric neruopthamologist told him he'll never fly a plane and if he ever did drive he would certainly have restrictions.  He went through drivers ed (Legally required by the state) and hated it.  He passed the class with a B.  Didn't partake in the driving portion of the test as he wasn't comfortable behind the wheel one bit.  Now he's having 2nd thoughts.  He's nearing adulthood and the realization of Mom not driving him around all the time is knocking on the door.  On the other hand my oldest daughter drives - fairly well.  She bought her own truck... is in college and has more financial stress hovering her than what it may be worth.  She's naive in that she was pulled over... her tags had expired.  And she looked at the officer and said, "What tags?"  When he explained it to her she said, "they expire?"  OIY - kids these days.
