I drove without a license after failing my driving test twice. It went fine. Although I wasn't afraid to get hurt, I worried about hurting other people by doing this. Now I have my license, and drive without insurance.

Prob get your car towed and have to show up at the courthouse owing money.

If the car isn't registered, then it has no plates or maybe expired plates, right? Well, that makes it pretty likely for a cop to pull you over, and find out you don't have a license.

SO DON'T DO IT.

Paying for driving lessons, driving test, vehicle registration, and auto insurance is still cheaper than all the tickets, fines, and bail.

@voidwreck: Or that it was given to him from a relative who was getting a new one.

@killeem: Your thread states "I just got my car", so anyone would assume that you bought it.

Consider biking to marathon running your way to work.

Why would you buy a car before getting your license?

Don't be a lazy dumbass and get your license, but if you can't even afford insurance don't bother

I wouldn't recommending driving without a licence since it is illegal, especially since your car isn't registered. Driving without being registered is a huge flag that says "pull me over!" to the cops because it's an easy ticket for them and when they ask for your licence, you'll be done for D:! In my state, if you get caught driving without a licence it's a $250 ticket, not being registered is a $150 ticket and not having insurance is a minimum $450 ticket. Unless you don't mind shelling out almost $1000 in traffic violations, I would suggest taking the bus, biking or walking until you can get everything sorted out.

To even get your licence, your car has to be registered and they will ask to see your insurance before you take the driving portion of the test. Since you're probably over 18, you don't have to get a permit. The permit is only for younger drivers (15-17) that want to get their licence before they turn 18.

I'd recommend getting a job first since it costs money to get your licence, insurance and registration. As for school, I would check out your local community college. It's cheap and they offer the same level education as a university, plus, if you want to transfer to a 4 year school later, there's less competition and you don't even have to have take the SAT. If college isn't for you then maybe try a vocational school. Those are typically 2-3 year programs and can land you a much better paying job than just working as a bottom level employee in a retail/food setting.

I'm not experienced with driving without a license or registration or insurance. You need those things before you can drive. Especially insurance, imo.

Apply for permit. Take the permit test. It's really easy, you only need a 70% on it. After you get your permit, you have a 6 month gap until you can take the driving test. You can spend the 6months working. You are over 18 legal adult now so don't get caught.

@killeem it all depends on your state and the police officer that pulls you over. It is highly HIGHLY NOT recommended to drive without a license, insurance and a registered car. If you need to enroll back into school, first find a job and work hard, after a few months of saving, get your license and then figure out how much to get your car registered and inspected(that'll cost some money) and insured. then reeneroll yourself back into school.
