Because I keep failing these theory exams and I’m about to throw the towel. These laws, rules and stuff are so stupid and complicated to remember. Also this shit isn’t cheap to do and I don’t have a car anyways.

    So, I skimmed all the answers and I think everyone is ignoring a critically important aspect.

    As others have said, yes you should get your license for the flexibility it’ll give you. You never know when your life circumstances might change and you need a car, and with graduated licensing it may be over a year or two before you have a full license.

    Now let’s say you decide fuck it and don’t get it.

    You turn 45 and you finally need it for some reason so you get it.

    How many years have you had your license when you then go to insure your first car?

    0 years

    You know what that means? They’ll wreck you on insurance. Even the idea of getting something semi nice (I mean you’re 45 and can afford it) will cost you thousands more in premiums for years to come.

    However if you get your license today, if you were hypothetically 16, that’s 29 years of ‘experience’ that various insurers will count, and you’ll have exceptionally better premiums.

    Not getting it ASAP is going to cost more and more money every year you delay it, up to many thousands of dollars in the future, if you ever change your mind.
