Learning to Drive a Car

Wow! I can't believe I'm almost 16. Soon, I'll have the independence, which comes from driving my own car. I wish I could just get into the driver's seat and go! However, there are some steps I need to take in order to become a safe driver, before the world is ready for me. Firstly, I need to go to the DMV and get a Learner's permit. I guess I'll need Mom's permission for that step. Next, I'll sign up for Driver's Ed. class at school. I think they offer that on Saturdays. I'll need to study the Driver's Manual and practice under the supervision of an adult before I try the written test. I plan to study really hard for that test. I also plan to practice hard for the road test, which terrifies me. If I pass everything, I can pay the fee, have my photo snapped , and I'm off! Watch out, here I come!
