16 when I was learning to drive.
Waited a year up until it's expiration so I could avoid paying $300 for my behind the wheel permit. So, 18 when I got my DL (couple of days after my birthday) because I would only have to pay a few bucks plus no restriction on my license because I wasn't underage.

It's just that most of my friends have cars, and I live in nyc where public transpo is usually my means of commuting, so I never really had the necessary means to get it asap. Permits expire every year, don't they? How you managed to have one for 5 years, haha?
