Your dad is your best teacher. Being a retired police officer he is going to make sure you are ready. He has seen all the good and bad involving driving.
my daughter did not pass the first time or second time the first time she hit the cone parallel parking , the second time she was nervous and forgot to check her mirror , the third time she passed so proud her mom and step dad just didnt have anytime becuase they have younger siblings but between me and her friends she got the experience needed , and i laugh because her mom i taught her how to drive manual and it was funny she stalled in front of cops i was just laughing but our daughter learned on manual but for her test i told her she should drive automatic just in case
Congratulations young lady! I remember taking my drivers test. Back then (over 50 years ago) in Pennsylvania they were given by the State Police. My friend and I went in at the same time and we both failed. The officer told my Dad that he could have passed us both, but "Kids have a tendency to get cocky if they pass the first time." 52 years of driving and no accidents and just 3 speeding tickets. I'm glad you were able to pass the first try. 👍👏👏
Congratulations! I never had a doubt that you would pass. Now I'm going to give you some geezerly advice that my great father passed on to me about 45 years ago as we were putting gas into my out-of-gas car along a lonely road in the middle of a snowstorm at 2 in the morning. "It's just as easy to keep the top half full as it is the bottom half. Don't you ever get me out of bed for this again"
I agree. I learned the hard way, twice, and ruined my filter thingy when I ran out of gas. It was an expensive mistake, too. I always try to fill the tank up when I get close to the halfway mark.
True....you can burn out your fuel pump (thingy 😀) if you run out of gas, So best to refuel before you get 1/4 low. Best of luck and enjoy the new freedom.
@@hilkaahlers5855 Yes I agree it's best to keep your fuel pump thingy (fuel pump in layman's terms) submerged. It is in the gas tank and is very expensive to replace. It has an electric motor that runs much cooler when submerged which leads to longer life.
Congratulations, Neveah. A newly licensed teenager marching towards adulthood. You're life is picking up speed, literally and figuratively. Much happiness, stay safe.
Congrats Nevaeh! One piece of advice: always top off your gas tank when it gets to half-full 👍🏾. That way you’ll never have to worry about running out of gas. Someday in the future get an international drivers license. 😉👍🏾🤩🐶
I’ve had a similar theory, 1/4 tank is empty, but I do live in a town with plenty of petrol stations, if I lived in the sticks I would adopt the 1/2 tank method too.
Hi Nevaeh, Keith here in NC. The day I took my driver's test was the day we were going to NC to visit family. Dad's job moved us to Iowa. We were in mom's car, a 4 door, 1972 Buick Limited, huge car. We stopped in a town. I'd never been in 45 miles from our house headed to NC. I drove around w instructor and passed. Got my license, and drove my family the next 300 miles. Didn't drive again till after midnight a week later, on the way back to Iowa. I came up on a new intersection under construction, no other cars anywhere! I went ahead and went through it, even though it was turning red. Dad, snoring, said, "why did you run that red light?" How did he know? Dad's have special abilities w their kids. Your dad sure is one of the good ones. Congratulations. Stay safe. Every car around your car has a stupid idiot, not paying attention, so you better!👍❤️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
So happy for you. My 2 kids learned to drive in the fall because there birthday's were Nov. Son. Dec. Daughter. Added pressure....dad was a Lt on the Anchorage Alaska Police Dept. He taught them well for both summer and winter driving. Both successfully received their license 's near their birthday's and drove all winter without an accident. Dad was proud, oh and he also made them learn to drive a stick. Best type of car to have in AK in the winter😅. Congratulations, good job. Be careful out there.❤❤
I remember when I took my test. The lady told me that I can cross my hands over if I wanted to because she wanted me to be very comfortable behind the wheel, and I was very comfortable. She said that if she followed what the driver's book tells each driver to do that no one would pass, so being comfortable was her motto as a driver's testor. Congrats on your driving test girl, I knew you could do it.
Congratulations, Neveah...I didn't get my licence till I was 35. There is nothing like the feeling of facing your fears and doing it anyway. It gives you that feeling of euphoria...and you always hope that you remember it for the next time you have to face another thing that scares you. 😊 Good job! So proud of you! ❤
Nevaeh, congratulation on passing your driving test, you are such a level-headed young lady I didn't have any doubts. The world is at your feet, with your independence. Safe driving, love from Mike. ❤
Congratulations Nevaeh! It's been 60 years since I got my license but I remember the thrill of finally having freedom. You are blessed to have such a nice car. My first car was a 1955 Ford that burned more oil than gas! 🤣Enjoy your new ride and be careful out there! God bless!
When I took my driving test... over forty years ago, the rule for hand placement was 10 and 2. In the intervening years though, 8 and 4 became safer due to air bags... you need your arms down and away from that potential deployment range. I am not sure if the official legal rule ever changed, though. Congratulations girl!!!!!!!!!
As a Father with 2 older children, i have experience for their driving tests. My daughter passed on her 1st try and my son, well he got it on his 2nd test. Congrats Nevaeh!
45 years ago, I took my test, I also made One mistake. He said I cut the turn to narrow. That was coming off interstate and at the stop sign I had to turn left. He said I needed to go further towards my lane. In a place where there was little traffic, he set up a scenario of, "a kid running into the road chasing a ball" When he said "KID!" I stabbed the brakes, he said good job as he was picking his clip board up out of the floor, he then told me he never had anyone react so fast! I was all smiles. Congrats girl, a big step in growing up! I hope Dad has taught you how to also change a tire too!
Congratulations Nevaeh you can be so proud of yourself I sure am I am almost 50 and still to scared to do the test I can drive but here in England there are so many things to it I fear the failure ridiculous I know but there it is. So so proud of you 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Congratulations on passing your drivers test - well done. Things I am grateful for since my drivers test many years ago-backup cameras :) Safe travels wherever you may go 🚗🚗
Congratulations Nevaeh! I am setting here with a big smile to see you go thru this huge step in your life! Drive carefully and stay the same wonderful young woman we have watched you become!
Congratulations Nevaeh 🎉 The first step in becoming a independent young adult! I do feel for you though seeing how much gas is there 😢 to think I was complaining of our gas being $2.99 a gallon.
Congratulations Neveah!!!! Had complete faith in you. You worked really hard to achieve this. Now stay focused on everything around you when you are in that seat. Enjoy!
Congratulations!!! I did fine on my driver's test 42 years ago. Then my mom got back in the car and I ran a stop sign right by the department of public safety (Oklahoma's version of the DMV), made a left in front of another car at a stoplight. But got away with both with no tickets or wrecks, lol. 19 years later, I got to do it again in a semi to upgrade to a commercial driver's license. I was nervous on that one too, but I did fine. As a teen, I was well practiced at driving because when I got my learner's permit, I became my mom's chauffeur. While I was just on my learner's permit, I got to drive my dad's classic 57 Ford convertible to storage when he moved in with my future step mom while he was recovering from major surgery. Who knew 42 years ago I'd end up driving for a living.
Congratulations Nevaeh! I just became the proud Grandmother in two months of three teen drivers, it is so exciting to see our youth gain some independence, a little bit at a time. Be safe sweetie. 💞
Congratulations! First major life milestone! I failed with hugging the right for a while too. Think it was because I was scared of getting hit especially on the smaller 2 lane highways. Now I’m afraid of going to far to the right because I hate the rubble strips(really do wake you up) and the steep ditches.
Congratulations to you! The test is probably the hardest thing about driving, & once that part is complete your confidence & learning will grow even further, & driving will probably soon feel like 2nd nature. Enjoy your travels & stay safe on the roads.
Great job and Congratulations on getting your drivers license! Big hurdle that’s not as bad as it’s made out to be. You were well prepared for it! Much adventuring lies ahead!
Congratulations, not just for passing your test but for facing & overcoming your fear! I took my test at 27 years old and my nerves were so bad that I nearly backed out at the last minute. Luckily I went through with it & passed 1st time too so didn’t have to go through it again 😂😂 Enjoy your new found freedom xx
Congratulations Nevaeh! I'm so happy for you! Having your license is a new chapter in your life, and opens up new possibilities! Great job! Blessings from Rick, in N.H.
Congrats Nevaeh! Glad we could be part of this milestone. I expect you'll have Sue for a while, but when it's time for your next car, you know where to look!
Congratulations young lady! Dad, I know exactly how you feel. I felt the same way when both my children got their license. My son was way eager. On his 16th birthday he got his license and a job.
Congratulations Nevaeh you have an awesome driving instructor's in your parents. Your dad is an epic instructor. Now those things like knowing how to open your gas cap, which fuel to use is key what your dad taught you. I'd like to add another bit of advice and that is always be aware of your surroundings and focus. Your dad can add to this advice by educating you. Again awesome job Nevaeh be safe and have a blessed day. Aloha from Kansas
Great job Neveah! I remember the day I drove alone for the first time, it was a huge feeling of freedom and nervous energy. It looks like it was the same for you! Our family very much enjoys your content and we look forward to many more videos from you! Cheers and well done!
Awesome, well done! Now the real learning begins. Enjoy your adventures and the freedom "own transport" brings. Most excellent that you shared so much of your journey with us.
Well done Neveah, as you said you were not afraid to try but understandably went for it, all part of becoming an independent adult. Here in the UK many youngsters do not seem interesting in getting a drivers licence. Why I am not sure, perhaps it is the costs involved in buying, insuring, and running a car. Congratulations.
Congratulations Naveah ,, never a doubt... Great comments from dad ..Buying you own gas now taking a weeks earnings ... and insurance ,,oh boy ..... the freedom comes with responsibility,, be careful and stay safe ... ..
Congrats Nevaeh, I remember first couple months after I got my provisional license at 17.. I made small errors because I was just so nervous Based on your personality, I'm sure you are and will continue to be a safe and responsible driver!
Try to remember not to let your gas tank get below half a tank before you fill it up. And that helps with two things. It helps with the sticker shock of what you having to put out for gas each time, and two in case of an emergency if you had to go a distance for some reason you wouldn't have to stop and get gas right away you'd be able to go for several hundred miles.
Congrats. I'm in my fall years and I still remember my drivers test, I missed 1question. You will become great as you gain more experience. My nugget of wisdom if you are first at a stop light count out one Mississippi to 3 because there is always that 1 driver who is in a hurry. I'm like a proud grandma here. Blessings
Being scared of failure is very normal Naveah, as you can see it was not so bad right, 👍🏼 , you passed and you are a full fledge driver now, very proud of you and congrats girl. Be a defensive driver, if you don't know what that is, ask your dad, he'll tell you. It's very important. I would tell you but it's just to much to text.... Be safe and always stay alert 🚨‼️.🎉👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎉👏🏼👏🏼🎊
Congratulations Nevaeh!🎉 I knew you would do great! Congratulations mom & dad on raising a wonderful young woman. Stay safe. 🚙 P.S. My dad went with me the day I got my license too.
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉😊!! So exciting to see you get this behind you Nevaeh. Why am I singing It's a whole new world 😊😂! God bless you !! Hugs, love and prayers from a Great Grandma in Kansas Aka Krissi57
Well done, Nevaeh! One of those milestone steps. Like school, the learning process of driving well continues all your life, if you're smart. Like with horses, the biggest cost is not the purchase, but the maintenance (and insurance). Mobility comes with a price. And as you said, living in the sticks comes with a cost as well. All that solitude and wild life demands that you be more mobile than your legs can provide. Life is full of such tradeoffs, and being financially successful in life means making those tradeoff choices as thoughtfully as possible. You will make mistakes. Try to keep them small, and learn from them! But along the way, enjoy yourself (to a reasonable degree)!
Congratulations, young Miss, from a admirer of your family, from Germany! Driving tests are one of the events in life that you never forget. I can remember the streets that we drove along for the exam, in an old truck from 1950, 56 years ago.
The day I took my drivers test.. I WAS terrorized... but I just went for it. When it was over though it was the BEST feeling. I figured .. all these other people did it..why couldn't I? What helped me build confidence was getting as much practice in as I could. It really is a Right of Passage. So glad I embraced it. If it takes a few tries... that really is ok too. Be easy on yourself. 👍 😊
Congratulations! I learned to drive when I was 18, but I didn't actually get my license until I was 35. Long story! 😂 My only daughter had been a licensed driver for a year now, she is 23. My oldest is almost 26 and doesn't have his license. In his defense, he lives in Portland, OR, where there's a ton of options so he really doesn't need one right now. My "baby" is the same age as Kaimani. I'm not ready for him to learn to drive.
Congratulations Nevaeh....you did it!! I am so proud of you and just because you made one mistake on the driving test is OK, we all made a few when we had to do that test. I think your dad did a great job helping you get ready, I think he was more nervous than you were..HA. I more thing, it seems your dad can't go by that bakery without saying ...we need to stop and get a doughnut...HA HA. Have fun and be SAFE out there girl.
Congratulations Nevaeh! So happy for you! As a parent I will say that don't be surprised if your parents keep very close tabs on you for a little while. It just means they care. I think you will be an awesome driver! Love your family and enjoy your new found freedom!
Congratulations 🎊🎉 This is great for you!! Your Dad is such an easy going. . Your a beautifyl young lady. Keep smiling and drive safe, watch for the other drivers. Good Luck!! 🚙
Congratulations Navaeh! 🎉 your father’s facial expressions when testing your driving skills really cracked me up. I love your family . Drive safely and be sure to lock all doors as soon as you get into your car. Don’t forget to check your backseat before you get into your car, at all times. I have two daughters and one granddaughter, all driving, and I am always reminding them to be vigilant. Apart from that be happy and enjoy your new slice of independence. 👏👏👏🥤🍦
Congrats!! In 1980 I passed no problem but, while leaving the DMV I backed into a light pole and broke the taillight. I also got a ticket for a busted taillight the next day on my way to buy a new taillight. Be Safe!
Oh God! This is another DAD post. I have three children (not gunna mention grandkids) and getting a driving licence is a right of passage. We have so few celebrations in our western culture. You will remember that test for the rest of your life. So happy for you. It will change your life, living a little remotely as you do. Again congratulations and on your channel too. Loved the dental surgery video the most I think. My grandson thinks your very pretty - now he is only 9 but was so upset for you when he saw the blood in that video and now I can share this video with him to show him how OK you are now. Looking forward to further videos.
Congratulations you did a great job. I did not get my license until I was 40 I am so glad I got them because I live alone now and would be stuck without it.
"Congrats on getting your license Nevaeh" 👏🎉🚗. Took me 4 years from getting my drivers permit in (1998) at 16 to finally getting my license at 20 in (2002). $25 each 7X I had to take my written test because I didn't pass it the first 6X, and took the behind the wheel 4X and passed it on the 4th time. Had to pay $50 each time I took the behind the wheel test at the DMV (in California). Had to pay a total of $375 within 4 years to finally get my license in "02". Have had my license for 21 years and had only got 1 ticket in 20 years. Have perfect driving record since (2005). On top off my mom raised me and my older brother by herself and couldn't afford to get me driving classes and had to teach me in the parking lot of a school nearbye when school wasn't open. Living in California sometimes its pointless to get a license though because allot of people just take Uber and avoid having to pay for car expenses and gas and just pay for Uber to take them to and from their destination they want to go to. Depending on the city you are in it's cheaper that way than having to pay to get your car fixed every couple years or so if you don't trade it in or get a new car.
Congratulations🎉🎉. When I took my license test back in my days I did it on a stick sift. I was so nervous. But I did great. Dad and Mom are good teachers.
That is such good news, congratulations Nevaeh ! Woo Hoo ! I held my breath the whole video. I taught both my girls to drive, I'm proud of them the way your whole family is proud of you. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Congrats!! I’m so happy for you. Enjoy your new freedom! Next practice your dad may want to help you with is driving in the snow. Be safe an take care, thanks for sharing this. 🚗🚘
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You did awesome Nevaeh! Ive had my license now for over 35 years and i don’t always like driving anymore, especially in rush hour traffic and big cities. Have fun with your new found freedom!
Well done Nevaeh! It's really good that you are going to get used to driving in a rural area for the most part. City driving is no fun these days. Most drivers are not as focused as you are. They drive for a while and get careless and take risks. 50 years for me with no accidents and only 2 minor citations. So what if I drive like a driving instructor. My insurance is very inexpensive! Don't let anything distract you from your duty behind the wheel. Period. Always do your mental checklist before you put it in drive. You're an impressive young lady.
First off congrats on getting your license. Enjoy your new freedom. As a fellow Subaru Outback owner, a tip on your electronic parking brake. Always apply it while your foot is on the brake, otherwise the car sometimes rocks forward/backward in park and getting it out of park later becomes tough (shifter kinda sticks). Also not sure if your model has this feature, but if the electronic brake is on, and you put it in gear while brake is pressed, then give it gas, the car will turn the brake off. This feature exists on my 2016 model, but I can't remember if my 2011 model had that feature or not.
Yay so proud of you on your drivers license 👍 by the way it’s my first time watching your channel so for sure subscribe to your channel 👍 can not wait on your next channel
❤🎉 you are a gorgeous little girl. God bless you congratulations on your license. You have wonderful parents. Your daddy is a wonderful daddy. You can tell how much he loves you as a parent I know what those happy tears are. you’re not alone you are like every teenager that wants to do things on their own and totally fine. Just be cautious careful and safe.❤ yeah I said grandma I just had concerns you being by yourself in the park. Sorry so I know you want to explore a lot of things right now but cautious:-) be blessed
I'm so proud of you Nevaeh. Congratulations. Just an FYI, gas pumps will put anywhere from a $75-$150 hold on your credit/debit card when you pay at the pump. That is a practice of the banks, not the gas stations. If you don't have enough on your card for that hold, we have to pre-pay at the window.
Yay!! I drive a Subaru as well. Mine is a 2021 and I have been driving for over 45+ years. I will tell you the first time I had to fill up my car, I also could not figure out how to open the gas door. No levers to pull or buttons. Turns out when the car is off, you have to push on the gas door to open. lol. So just remember, figuring out the gas door is not always as easy as it seems. Congratulations!!
Back in 1972, we were taught to cross our hands while turning. Turning right, left hand first turns the wheel to the right with the right hand crossing over to grab the remainder of the wheel and finish the turn. Opposite when turning left - right hand first turns to the wheel to the left with the left hand grabbing the wheel to finish the turn to the left. But that was back in 1972 and in NC. And hand positions on the steering wheel: 10 and 2 (like the clock 10 a.m. for the left hand and 2 p.m. for the right hand. My how times have changed.
Remember whatever car your in if u look at your gas gauge, theres a little arrow that shows u what side your fill tank is on, just a little tip. Didnt learn that until i was 50
Congratulations Nevaeh! Getting your driver's license is so much fun! You will be a good driver, I think. One word of advice to you. Learn to use your mirrors when backing up. It takes a little time to learn, but it will be so much easier on you! No more straining and contorting to look out the back window to see what's behind you. 🙂
Congrats on getting your lisence i watch your parents channel with you and all the family i love you guy's and i just joined your channel Nevaeh and you do great ,love how you slept in your car i'm glad you had a great experience on how to live
Young Lady, you did a great job preparing for this momentous occasion in your young life. Having taken my test when I was almost 18 yrs. old, I can still remember being as unsure as you were but only 67 yrs. ago. I am praying for you and your entire family as you all make this journey together. God's spead.
Your dad is your best teacher. Being a retired police officer he is going to make sure you are ready. He has seen all the good and bad involving driving.
As a dad, I also took my daughter for her driving test. I was more nervous than her. She passed.
Congratulations Nevaeh and safe driving !
my daughter did not pass the first time or second time the first time she hit the cone parallel parking , the second time she was nervous and forgot to check her mirror , the third time she passed so proud her mom and step dad just didnt have anytime becuase they have younger siblings but between me and her friends she got the experience needed , and i laugh because her mom i taught her how to drive manual and it was funny she stalled in front of cops i was just laughing but our daughter learned on manual but for her test i told her she should drive automatic just in case

Congratulations Nevaeh! I just became the proud Grandmother in two months of three teen drivers, it is so exciting to see our youth gain some independence, a little bit at a time. Be safe sweetie. 💞
Congratulations! First major life milestone! I failed with hugging the right for a while too. Think it was because I was scared of getting hit especially on the smaller 2 lane highways. Now I’m afraid of going to far to the right because I hate the rubble strips(really do wake you up) and the steep ditches.
I’m so happy for you🎉Congratulations, Nevaeh!!!! You encourage me to continue giving my best in everything I do.💗
From a long time viewer of your family, you are gonna be a rock star with whatever endeavors you take. Your whole family is amazing.
Congratulations to you! The test is probably the hardest thing about driving, & once that part is complete your confidence & learning will grow even further, & driving will probably soon feel like 2nd nature. Enjoy your travels & stay safe on the roads.
Best advice I ever got for driving: Watch out for the other guy. Congrats!
Great job and Congratulations on getting your drivers license! Big hurdle that’s not as bad as it’s made out to be. You were well prepared for it! Much adventuring lies ahead!
Congratulations Nevaeh, never in doubt.🎉🎉🎉
The smile on your face at the test centre was priceless.
Congratulations, not just for passing your test but for facing & overcoming your fear! I took my test at 27 years old and my nerves were so bad that I nearly backed out at the last minute. Luckily I went through with it & passed 1st time too so didn’t have to go through it again 😂😂 Enjoy your new found freedom xx
Good job! My youngest is getting ready to get her license as well. Big accomplishment ❤
Congratulations Nevaeh! I'm so happy for you! Having your license is a new chapter in your life, and opens up new possibilities! Great job! Blessings from Rick, in N.H.
Congrats Nevaeh! Glad we could be part of this milestone. I expect you'll have Sue for a while, but when it's time for your next car, you know where to look!
Congratulations young lady! Dad, I know exactly how you feel. I felt the same way when both my children got their license. My son was way eager. On his 16th birthday he got his license and a job.
Congratulations Nevaeh you have an awesome driving instructor's in your parents. Your dad is an epic instructor. Now those things like knowing how to open your gas cap, which fuel to use is key what your dad taught you. I'd like to add another bit of advice and that is always be aware of your surroundings and focus. Your dad can add to this advice by educating you. Again awesome job Nevaeh be safe and have a blessed day. Aloha from Kansas
Great job Neveah! I remember the day I drove alone for the first time, it was a huge feeling of freedom and nervous energy. It looks like it was the same for you! Our family very much enjoys your content and we look forward to many more videos from you! Cheers and well done!
Awesome, well done! Now the real learning begins. Enjoy your adventures and the freedom "own transport" brings. Most excellent that you shared so much of your journey with us.
Congratulations, there's a whole new world waiting for you. I'm looking forward to seeing more videos. Stay safe😘
Well done Neveah, as you said you were not afraid to try but understandably went for it, all part of becoming an independent adult. Here in the UK many youngsters do not seem interesting in getting a drivers licence. Why I am not sure, perhaps it is the costs involved in buying, insuring, and running a car. Congratulations.
Congratulations Nevaeh! 🎉
My niece just passed hers in the uk, the freedom to explore starts now, the world is out there ready for you! Well done ❤
Congratulations Naveah ,, never a doubt... Great comments from dad ..Buying you own gas now taking a weeks earnings ... and insurance ,,oh boy ..... the freedom comes with responsibility,, be careful and stay safe ... ..
Congrats Nevaeh,
I remember first couple months after I got my provisional license at 17..
I made small errors because I was just so nervous
Based on your personality, I'm sure you are and will continue to be a safe and responsible driver!
Try to remember not to let your gas tank get below half a tank before you fill it up. And that helps with two things. It helps with the sticker shock of what you having to put out for gas each time, and two in case of an emergency if you had to go a distance for some reason you wouldn't have to stop and get gas right away you'd be able to go for several hundred miles.
Congrats. I'm in my fall years and I still remember my drivers test, I missed 1question. You will become great as you gain more experience. My nugget of wisdom if you are first at a stop light count out one Mississippi to 3 because there is always that 1 driver who is in a hurry. I'm like a proud grandma here. Blessings
A massive well done and congratulations on passing your driving test 🚙 watching from the uk
Being scared of failure is very normal Naveah, as you can see it was not so bad right, 👍🏼 , you passed and you are a full fledge driver now, very proud of you and congrats girl. Be a defensive driver, if you don't know what that is, ask your dad, he'll tell you. It's very important. I would tell you but it's just to much to text.... Be safe and always stay alert 🚨‼️.🎉👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎉👏🏼👏🏼🎊
Congratulations Nevaeh!! I had no doubt you'd pass! You take the responsibility of driving very seriously and that's a GOOD thing!
Congratulations Nevaeh!🎉
I knew you would do great! Congratulations mom & dad on raising a wonderful young woman. Stay safe. 🚙
P.S. My dad went with me the day I got my license too.
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉😊!! So exciting to see you get this behind you Nevaeh. Why am I singing It's a whole new world 😊😂! God bless you !! Hugs, love and prayers from a Great Grandma in Kansas

Well done, Nevaeh! One of those milestone steps. Like school, the learning process of driving well continues all your life, if you're smart. Like with horses, the biggest cost is not the purchase, but the maintenance (and insurance). Mobility comes with a price. And as you said, living in the sticks comes with a cost as well. All that solitude and wild life demands that you be more mobile than your legs can provide. Life is full of such tradeoffs, and being financially successful in life means making those tradeoff choices as thoughtfully as possible. You will make mistakes. Try to keep them small, and learn from them! But along the way, enjoy yourself (to a reasonable degree)!
Congratulations, young Miss, from a admirer of your family, from Germany! Driving tests are one of the events in life that you never forget. I can remember the streets that we drove along for the exam, in an old truck from 1950, 56 years ago.
The day I took my drivers test.. I WAS terrorized... but I just went for it. When it was over though it was the BEST feeling. I figured .. all these other people did it..why couldn't I?
What helped me build confidence was getting as much practice in as I could. It really is a Right of Passage. So glad I embraced it.
If it takes a few tries... that really is ok too. Be easy on yourself. 👍 😊
Congratulations! I learned to drive when I was 18, but I didn't actually get my license until I was 35. Long story! 😂 My only daughter had been a licensed driver for a year now, she is 23. My oldest is almost 26 and doesn't have his license. In his defense, he lives in Portland, OR, where there's a ton of options so he really doesn't need one right now. My "baby" is the same age as Kaimani. I'm not ready for him to learn to drive.
Congratulations Nevaeh....you did it!! I am so proud of you and just because you made one mistake on the driving test is OK, we all made a few when we had to do that test. I think your dad did a great job helping you get ready, I think he was more nervous than you were..HA. I more thing, it seems your dad can't go by that bakery without saying ...we need to stop and get a doughnut...HA HA. Have fun and be SAFE out there girl.
Congratulations Nevaeh! So happy for you! As a parent I will say that don't be surprised if your parents keep very close tabs on you for a little while. It just means they care. I think you will be an awesome driver! Love your family and enjoy your new found freedom!
Congratulations Niveah! I failed my first driver’s test and passed the second two weeks later. I was so disappointed the first time. 😊
Congratulations 🎊🎉 This is great for you!! Your Dad is such an easy going. . Your a beautifyl young lady. Keep smiling and drive safe, watch for the other drivers. Good Luck!! 🚙
Congratulations Navaeh! 🎉 your father’s facial expressions when testing your driving skills really cracked me up. I love your family . Drive safely and be sure to lock all doors as soon as you get into your car. Don’t forget to check your backseat before you get into your car, at all times. I have two daughters and one granddaughter, all driving, and I am always reminding them to be vigilant. Apart from that be happy and enjoy your new slice of independence. 👏👏👏🥤🍦
I've had my Su for over 5 years. I still jump out at the pump and forget to pull the little door opener. 😊
A well mannered doll. Your parents should be very proud.
Congrats!! In 1980 I passed no problem but, while leaving the DMV I backed into a light pole and broke the taillight. I also got a ticket for a busted taillight the next day on my way to buy a new taillight. Be Safe!
Oh God! This is another DAD post. I have three children (not gunna mention grandkids) and getting a driving licence is a right of passage. We have so few celebrations in our western culture. You will remember that test for the rest of your life. So happy for you. It will change your life, living a little remotely as you do. Again congratulations and on your channel too. Loved the dental surgery video the most I think. My grandson thinks your very pretty - now he is only 9 but was so upset for you when he saw the blood in that video and now I can share this video with him to show him how OK you are now. Looking forward to further videos.
Awee haha thank you!
Congratulations you did a great job. I did not get my license until I was 40 I am so glad I got them because I live alone now and would be stuck without it.
"Congrats on getting your license Nevaeh" 👏🎉🚗. Took me 4 years from getting my drivers permit in (1998) at 16 to finally getting my license at 20 in (2002). $25 each 7X I had to take my written test because I didn't pass it the first 6X, and took the behind the wheel 4X and passed it on the 4th time. Had to pay $50 each time I took the behind the wheel test at the DMV (in California). Had to pay a total of $375 within 4 years to finally get my license in "02". Have had my license for 21 years and had only got 1 ticket in 20 years. Have perfect driving record since (2005). On top off my mom raised me and my older brother by herself and couldn't afford to get me driving classes and had to teach me in the parking lot of a school nearbye when school wasn't open. Living in California sometimes its pointless to get a license though because allot of people just take Uber and avoid having to pay for car expenses and gas and just pay for Uber to take them to and from their destination they want to go to. Depending on the city you are in it's cheaper that way than having to pay to get your car fixed every couple years or so if you don't trade it in or get a new car.
Congratulations Nevaeh, you did awesome. Welcome to the world of crazy drivers. Be careful and drive safely. All the best from Alaska.
Congratulations Nevaeh! You are definitely one of the most gorgeous new drivers out there.
Congratulations🎉🎉. When I took my license test back in my days I did it on a stick sift. I was so nervous. But I did great. Dad and Mom are good teachers.
That is such good news, congratulations Nevaeh ! Woo Hoo ! I held my breath the whole video. I taught both my girls to drive, I'm proud of them the way your whole family is proud of you. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I’m so proud of you. You’ll be a good driver, but always remember to listen to yourself and not others.
She’s an absolute sweetheart of a person.
Congrats!! I’m so happy for you. Enjoy your new freedom! Next practice your dad may want to help you with is driving in the snow. Be safe an take care, thanks for sharing this. 🚗🚘
This is exactly the sweet, wholesome content I was looking for.
Yay! Congratulations Nevaeh!!! Great job! We're so proud of you!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You did awesome Nevaeh! Ive had my license now for over 35 years and i don’t always like
driving anymore, especially in rush hour traffic and big cities. Have fun with your new found freedom!
Well done Nevaeh! It's really good that you are going to get used to driving in a rural area for the most part. City driving is no fun these days. Most drivers are not as focused as you are. They drive for a while and get careless and take risks. 50 years for me with no accidents and only 2 minor citations. So what if I drive like a driving instructor. My insurance is very inexpensive! Don't let anything distract you from your duty behind the wheel. Period. Always do your mental checklist before you put it in drive. You're an impressive young lady.
First off congrats on getting your license. Enjoy your new freedom.
As a fellow Subaru Outback owner, a tip on your electronic parking brake. Always apply it while your foot is on the brake, otherwise the car sometimes rocks forward/backward in park and getting it out of park later becomes tough (shifter kinda sticks).
Also not sure if your model has this feature, but if the electronic brake is on, and you put it in gear while brake is pressed, then give it gas, the car will turn the brake off. This feature exists on my 2016 model, but I can't remember if my 2011 model had that feature or not.
You will do great! I failed my first time I was so nervous! So don’t be afraid go for it!
I love the relationship you have with your dad! ❤
Yay so proud of you on your drivers license 👍 by the way it’s my first time watching your channel so for sure subscribe to your channel 👍 can not wait on your next channel
❤🎉 you are a gorgeous little girl. God bless you congratulations on your license. You have wonderful parents. Your daddy is a wonderful daddy. You can tell how much he loves you as a parent I know what those happy tears are. you’re not alone you are like every teenager that wants to do things on their own and totally fine. Just be cautious careful and safe.❤ yeah I said grandma I just had concerns you being by yourself in the park. Sorry so I know you want to explore a lot of things right now but cautious:-) be blessed
I'm so proud of you Nevaeh. Congratulations.
Just an FYI, gas pumps will put anywhere from a $75-$150 hold on your credit/debit card when you pay at the pump. That is a practice of the banks, not the gas stations. If you don't have enough on your card for that hold, we have to pre-pay at the window.
Yay!! I drive a Subaru as well. Mine is a 2021 and I have been driving for over 45+ years. I will tell you the first time I had to fill up my car, I also could not figure out how to open the gas door. No levers to pull or buttons. Turns out when the car is off, you have to push on the gas door to open. lol. So just remember, figuring out the gas door is not always as easy as it seems. Congratulations!!
Congratulations Nevaeh for doing a good job on your driver's license.🎉
Congratulations on getting your driver's license Nevaeh !!! 🎉🎉 Please be safe out there 🙏🫂💞❤
Congratulations! Your parents must be very proud to have you as their firstborn
Back in 1972, we were taught to cross our hands while turning. Turning right, left hand first turns the wheel to the right with the right hand crossing over to grab the remainder of the wheel and finish the turn. Opposite when turning left - right hand first turns to the wheel to the left with the left hand grabbing the wheel to finish the turn to the left. But that was back in 1972 and in NC. And hand positions on the steering wheel: 10 and 2 (like the clock 10 a.m. for the left hand and 2 p.m. for the right hand. My how times have changed.
Remember whatever car your in if u look at your gas gauge, theres a little arrow that shows u what side your fill tank is on, just a little tip. Didnt learn that until i was 50
Awesome, don’t worry over time it’ll come naturally to you. Congratulations🎉
Good job Nevaeh. Be careful when driving. People are very careless driving so you have to always be aware of your surroundings when driving.
Congratulations Nevaeh! Getting your driver's license is so much fun! You will be a good driver, I think. One word of advice to you. Learn to use your mirrors when backing up. It takes a little time to learn, but it will be so much easier on you! No more straining and contorting to look out the back window to see what's behind you. 🙂
Congrats Nevaeh well done just shows. If you put your mind to it. You can do Anything. Be safe and enjoy your new independence. 😊😊
Congrats on getting your lisence i watch your parents channel with you and all the family i love you guy's and i just joined your channel Nevaeh and you do great ,love how you slept in your car i'm glad you had a great experience on how to live
Thank you!!
Young Lady, you did a great job preparing for this momentous occasion in your young life.
Having taken my test when I was almost 18 yrs. old, I can still remember being as unsure as you were but only 67 yrs. ago. I am praying for you and your entire family as you all make this journey together. God's spead.
