student's license application, take three

I've been to the LTO thrice to get my student's license. Guess what? Still no license.

The first time I went, on Wednesday, they had already closed even though it was just 2PM. Told me to come back the next day. Went a second time today (Friday), but apparently I needed ID pictures (I was under the impression that the ID picture taking would be done on the spot; guess not). Went to get my picture taken, came back after half an hour

...and they were closed again, even though it was just 4PM.

At some point, they *will* let me get my license, and I *will* learn how to drive. It's way past time for me to do so. (I've never had to drive before because we've always had more drivers than cars. Now that that's no longer the case, I have no choice/excuse.)

Sounds like getting the licence is harder than learning to drive! Why do these places close so early, I wonder.

I don't know :( I think I just had a run of bad luck. I hope that Monday is better *crosses fingers*

This is an obstacle I'm facing as well. We'll get them, and life will be made of awesome when we do!

It will! I cannot wait to have mobility!

(I saw your entries and your conversation in backscroll. I hope that you do manage to overcome the objections to your learning how to drive soon :( *hugs*)

I will. I don't know how I am going to do it, but I will. We both will. *hugs*

Hey. I'm... over thirty years of age and still can't drive. >.> I'm also hearing of more folks at least my age who have never learned to drive.

Depending on how good the public transit system is where you live, it might not be a necessity anyway. =) While being able to drive gives you independence and freedom (not to mention lots of other conveniences that are almost nonexistent with public transportation), it's not the be all and end all.

That said, good luck with it. =)

*grins*

The public transit system here is pretty comprehensive, but it's pretty open to pollution, and I'd be scared to use it at night (and I expect that most of the time that I'd need to drive would be at night, especially since I may have to work odd hours/do overtime.)

That reminds me though, I need to learn how to use the public transit system here as well!

Thanks for the luck. I think I'm going to need it *grin*
