I was 10 or 11 when my step-dad let me drive on my own. We were coming from out of town, I didn't go no more than 30 miles an hour I believe.
I didn't really learn til years later when I was about 14. I used to drive my aunt's car to the store and what not. She had a 93 Nissan Sentra. It didn't happen a lot, but often enough to where I felt comfortable going down to the store and back.
I got my permit when I was legally able to do so, which here was 15 years and 6 months. And then your able to get license at 16, but I didn't. I don't know why, but I just never went back to get license. That didn't stop me from driving though. It wasn't til I was pulled over when I was about 19/20, and the officer gave me a warning for speeding and ticketed me for driving with no license. But he said if I went to the MVD and got my license before the court date then that charge would be dropped, so I did.
