I can't wait till I can drive?

Man I'm just so pumped, I can drive in a year and its gonna be wicked sick! I know I sound like I'm 9 talking like this but I'm just so thrilled to the chance to get on the road and not have to ask my mom to drive me everywhere! I mean, my dad has been so chill about it, cause I've thought that I would get my buds honda but he was like "Well sure, your first car isn't gonna be a Ferrari or anything but I think we can get you something cooler than that." and then he went on telling me that he'll put a stipe and maybe a spoiler on it so it looks cool! Where he works he gets great deals on cars so thats a big plus and over all I'm just so pumped about it! I guess I gotta make this into a questions so nobody takes this down so uh, what can I do while I pass the time waiting and what should I prepare for the driving test?

I'm from uk. I know you Americans have some crazy driving law. I should know, I have driven around America twice.36 states… If I was going to give advice its this.don't even sit in the car without the best insurance. Even if if more than you can afford… Its crazy that some states allow a person to drive without it.in 50% of accident the driver is innocent victim… Get covered

Find and download your state's driver's handbook. Read it, study, understand it. Find and take online practice tests to be ready, when the opportunity presents itself to get your instructional permit. Know where to lay your hands on your birth certificate and Social Security card. SAVE every nickle, dime dollar you can get. Look for new ways to make money and stock pile the cash. $100/week or more, is where you set your sights.
