<p>How many of you aren't driving to school your senior year (2013). I have a car (Audi.. Yes, my family is wealthy which makes the situation even worse -- why are you taking the bus if your family is wealthy?) but my parents don't think I treat them with as much respect as I should, therefore they took my car away (which is fine. I'll try to start treating them better). </p>

<p>Sounds like a personal problem.</p>
<p>I’ve been driving since sophomore year and will be driving senior year.</p>
<p>In New York, you can’t drive till your 17 so I won’t be able to drive until december. I will be a senior, but I don’t plan to drive to school because the bus is free and more convenient (no parking where my school is). But I will drive after school and on the weekends!</p>
<p>I haven’t even had time to get my license. Nearly half the seniors at my school don’t get to drive.</p>
<p>I took the bus in my senior year, as did two of my friends who had their licenses. It’s really not that big a deal and I even met some very nice underclassmen with whom I normally would never come in contact. If the worst that happens to you is someone pokes fun at you for being rich and riding the bus, you’re life is pretty darn good!</p>
<p>I’m driving to school. I could’ve started sophomore year, but thanks to medical issues I couldn’t. My parents just got me a car a week ago. </p>
<p>I don’t take the bus as the bus system around here is just bad. A fifth grader tried to rape a 4th grader on a bus. If it’s that bad in elementary school, I don’t want to imagine how bad it is at the high school level</p>
<p>^Thats a signature? I thought it was just apart of his post but I didn’t see how it fit. I agree with bassoon</p>
<p>I can’t even get my learners permit until a week before I start senior year 
stupid UK driving rules and my august birthday
My brothers just finished high school and still hasn’t passed his test. He’s failed 4 times now, which makes me feel a little better about the whole thing :)</p>
<p>Wow so much hate in this thread.</p>
<p>at OP, i drive to school…of course</p>
<p>I’m still working on my liscense.</p>
<p>Saying you don’t have time for a license is a pretty lame excuse…do it in the summer like I did. I drove myself all of sophomore year and I plan on driving for the rest of high school.</p>
<p>I live 40 minutes away from my school by car so there’s no way I’m wasting my money on gas just to drive to school.
It really is no big deal.</p>
<p>I’m a senior and my goal is to get my permit by the end of the summer. 
So maybe I’ll be driving by February.</p>
<p>I don’t even have a car unlike you rich kids (you have an Audi but can’t even drive it … boo freaking hoo), but I still have my license. I use it for emergencies and when I have to drive myself places so my parents don’t have to pick me up in order to save time. I drive to school like maybe once or twice a month if there’s something after school that I can’t get a ride from a friend from.</p>
<p>I don’t know where you guys live, but here in the south - if you can drive a square around the block and know what color a stop sign is you pretty much have your license. Although I know some other countries and places in the northeast are a lot stricter.</p>
<p>I was worried too but I got a boyfriend with a car lol - end problem</p>
<p>^LOL, Rob, that is true. I was so surprised by how easy that test was. You’re from FL right? I have a friend who passed her driver’s test even after she hit a curb.</p>
<p>Woah, Ualpilot1, you’re telling bassoon to grow up, meanwhile you’re complaining about not being allowed to drive the car your parents gave you even though there is a perfectly fine other option (the bus) available at no cost to yourself or anyone else? And the reason you lost the car is because you didn’t respect your parents. I’m pretty sure if your parents a) give you things and b) have the power to take them away, that makes you a child! How about YOU grow up and take the bus like all of us “common folk”! Sorry if the seats aren’t quite as comfortable as the ones in your Audi or your airplane.</p>
<p>@Rachel: Nah, I got my license in Tennessee (I don’t live there at the moment but that’s where I got it). My friend was speeding, swerving, and parked at like a 45 degree angle during the test and still managed to pass lol. Not to mention the permit test was easy as hell.</p>
<p>The questions were all pretty much something like: what do you do at a stop sign. A) stop, B) speed up, C) slow down. Not even joking, I think that was an actual question lol.</p>
<p>@Uapilot1: Regardless of whether or not we want to know about you, it takes up unnecessary forum space and is more for the readers to scroll down through, so I think it would be much appreciated it if you cut down on the signature. No offense.</p>
<p>All the kewl kids fly.</p>
<p>The bus isn’t that bad. It only sucks when the bus leaves just as you come.</p>
<p>Also, I’m suprised they would take away your car after they paid for it, your flying lessons, renting or buying a plane, language lessons, and god knows what else.</p>
<p>I have a car, it’s not a 2013 Audi… Its a 2003 Toyota. Anyway I’ll be driving been driving since may of junior year. I’ll be driving b/c I start at 9 (I chose to have free 1st per. school normally starts at 8:15 so the bus comes at 7:30) and get out at 12, so I refuse to sit around for 3 hours doing nothing.</p>
