Its strange how most of the states have different requirements and age laws. Here in California you can get your permit at 15 1/2, but you have to wait at least six months to take your driver's test no matter what age you are when you get the permit if it is under 18. You are required to take behind the wheel driving lessons here. You may get your license at 16 at the very youngest, but it is provisional until 18. For the first year or until you are 18 you can't drive anyone under the age of 25 around. California has so many laws, but its one of the craziest states in this country.

Here, you can get you license and drive only after you hit 18. And you have to have had some practical driving lessons as well as some theoretical (on the driving code and such things). I don't know how things are done in other countries.

I don't have a license yet because it costs a bit much to get and there's always so much traffic in Athens, I really prefer using the metro. Besides, I'm against using cars if it's not absolutely necessary. Good thing I have loads of mass transport around (and my feet).

It's crazy how young you can drive in America. In the UK you have to be 17. I'm 21 and I'll hopefully be taking my test in the next month or so! I have a gorgeous little turquoise Rover 100 waiting for me!

Okay, me. I'm at uni studying photography, which is just amazing! I have a boyfriend called Chris who I've been with for over 3 years now and I spend most evenings with him. I work for Zavvi (formerly Virgin Megastore) at weekends. I love music, films, reading, gaming (die hard Nintendo fan), internet-ing, gigs, pubs with friends, clothes/dressing up, cooking, Christmas, cats!, balti, naps, ssandwiches and dinosaurs!

    Slightly OT here, but what's the deal with that name change? I just keep calling it Virgin anyway

    Hmm.. did they change their name? Does that mean the Virgin Megastores in Greece will be turned to Zavvi, too? Zavvi sounds kinda funny in Greek, hope they don't adopt it here too. :p

    The Virgin group sold the megastores so we couldn't use the name Virgin anymore. Zavvi is literally meaningless. I think it's entirely stupid but never mind!
