Whatever happened to turning 16 and going to the DMV to get your learners permit? I turned 16 in 1966 and I can recall guys who skipped school on their 16th birthday so they could go get their learners permit. I didn't do that but felt like a nerd because it still took me over 4 months after turning 16 to get a license. Took driver ed in 1967 in a 67 Chevy on loan from the local dealer with one of the gym teachers who also taught driver ed. Even got to watch a couple of those gory car accident movies. I see 20 year olds today who have never even gotten a learners permit yet.....WTF ???
What's a learners permit?
