I am not quite 30 and I remember not sleeping for months before my 16th birthday and being there as soon as the BMV opened so I could get my license as soon as possible. Apparently that is no longer the norm....

I think my son falls into this group, he had a car of his own, supplied and insured by us and he ran it using the second tier license until he went to the U of T whereupon he let the license lapse. This meant he had to start the whole license application process from step one. He was without a license again for nearly eight years. Living downtown he really did not need a license but there was no enthusiasm to get one either. The '66 Mustang he insists we keep in the garage for him to fix up is a pie in the sky idea I think.
