I'd hate to be anywhere near you on the road if you think six hours practice makes you ready to hold a license to drive.

It's 120 hours in Australia, and you have to hold your Learners for 12 months if you're under 25, the up to provisional 1 (12 months), then provisional 2 (24 months), and finally a full liscense.

I've got this, finally, all of those years of Mario Kart will be useful

Wiz khalifa sucks

my mum is still this way, 7 years later

How old are you? Do you have a job? Why don't you hire a driving instructor? You cannot blame your fathers reactions. My dad was explosive and angry when he was teaching me. He ripped the handbrake on more than once. I went to an instructor. I have a license. Now, what's your excuse?

@50 you don't have to be rude. Clearly her dad isn't letting her advance and she probably can't afford an instructor. Just because you did doesn't mean everyone can.

Don't worry. It took me a while to get licensed too. My mom's nerves really weren't helping mine, so I hated driving with her. Is there anyone else in your family or maybe an adult friend who could ride with you in place of your dad? I finally got my license when my grandfather stepped in to help. He was a much calmer teacher than either of my parents.

I think we are supposed to but if we don't it isn't a big deal

It varies by state. And some states have very specific requirements. I don't remember the exact numbers since it's been awhile, but Illinois law requires you get a certain number of hours driving at night, a certain number of hours driving on highways and freeways, etc.

In Georgia its only 40 hours during the day and 6 at night

That's what Australia has. Queensland it's 10 hours minimum for night, and 100 hours total.

In Canada we don't have to drive a certain number of hours, we just have to have a learner's license for a minimum of 6 months and then be able to pass the driving test. I've always wondered about your system in the States, how do they know you've driven the full number of hours you're supposed to? Is there actually any way to document that accurately?

Where I live (Mississippi), it's measured not by hours but by how long you hold your learner's permit. When I was learning, the law was that you had to hold your permit for six months before you qualify for a driving test. Now the law has changed, so you have to hold your permit a year.

@91 I dunno about America, but in Australia they give you a log book, you fill it out as you drive. drove from destination a to destination b, it took 2 hours, conditions were fair and it was day time. something to that effect

What really concerns me is that her mom is her driving instructor. There are professional people who can really teach you to drive, right?
