How many trys did it take you to get your learners permit then drivers license

This comes from that locked thread.

Anyway I got my permit on my first try, hopefully lightning strikes twice.

It took me 2 tries to get my permit and 1 try on my license. I didn't really study for my first permit test I thought it was just going to be all common sense.

Permit first try (was it even really a try?), and license first try. I am highly suspect of anyone who doesn't get both on their first go.Dark__Link

This. I really don't understand how so many people fail.

just once for each.

Took me one time for both.. really not that difficult lol

I got my permit on the first try. But it took me two times to get my license.

I failed the first time becuase I missed a stop-sign in the DMV parking lot.

1 time permit 1 time license

One try, both cases.

1 and 1

I got my permit, Missouri, and North Carolina license on the first try.

License system is kind of different here; Learners, restricted, full license. Got each on first attempt. Thought I failed my full license because it only went for 40 minutes instead of an hour before I drove the instructor back, turns out we just covered everything faster than usual.

It took me 1 try to get both my permit and license.

How do you even fail for the learner's permit? Isn't that test basically just "what does a stop sign look like?"JML897

Meh some people do not study the books they give you.

A lot of you guys have passed the test first try, it gives me confidence.

Here in New Zealand the licensing process is a bit different. You initially take a learners theoretical test which allows you to drive a car supervised and with learners plates displayed. After that you take a restricted practical test which allows you to drive independently but only during certain hours. Then finally you can take a practical test for your full license. Here's a play by play of my experience getting my motorcycle license. Learners attempt 1- All good I aced the theoretical test first time. Restricted attempt 1- failed to come to a full stop at a stop sign. Immediate failure. Restricted attempt 2 a few weeks later- failed to give way to a car turning right. Immediate failure. Restricted attempt 3 a year later- motorcycle failed to pass fitness standard because the indicator wasn't working. Immediate failure. Restricted attempt 4 a month later- I finally passed it with a fair amount of ease. Full license attempt 1 a year later- Passed it easily first time although I lost the assessor once. Fun fact New Zealanders are among the worst and rudest drivers in the world.domatron23

Sorry about that man, but atleast you passed.

Once for permit, three times for liscence. The driving proctor was lame. Ended up going to a different DMV on my third try and got it there no problem.

Yeah I have been nervous about getting a very pedantic teacher, though I know ultimately it is the driver though. I still don't want to catch someone on a bad day.

Well I am 22 going on 23 and have never even got my permit. Live in Seattle with a pretty awesome public transportation system so never felt the urge to drive. Guess in the long run I am helping out the planet which makes me feel better :) If its any consolation my girlfriend does drive though since she has to go to work like 30 minutes away.

One try for my permit and two tries for my license.

I got both on my first try. I don't know how I did it :P

First try on both for me. My neighbor however took 3 tries before he got his drivers license.

For my permit, 3 times in Virginia, 2 times in Nevada.

just once for each.

hey, same here!

Just once. Exam was a cakewalk. At the driving test, the person who examined me was surprised that I not only passed, but scored very well, because I didn't have any driving ed beforehand. I think she was expecting to fail me.

Questions that ask for specific numbers as answers, and occasionally a common sense fail. :P
