I know this is not the answer you want to hear, but you have to listen to your mom on this one. Driving is a big and expensive responsibility. Ask your mom what you can do to prove to her that you are ready to take this seriously AND how you can prove
to her that you are responsible.
Maybe you could offer to get a part time job to help pay for the added expense of you driving (insurance, gas, maintenance, etc.)
Parents are overprotective for a reason. Ask her nicely to talk it over and find out what you can do.

She should know you better then anyone on the computer....
"15 years old and 5 months" when you get a little older the months, hours and seconds of birth will not be in question....
Driving is not that big of deal! You need that job to pay for insurance not even talking about the car you will drive. Gas being so spendy all this should take all the money you can make after school and on weekends. So you see you wont have time to drive.....You can spend your money on better things......

Bad news growing up in a broken home myself there is no way to change an over protective mother not after years of court battles with your dad. My only way of getting out of that problem was to move in with my dad i did that at your exact age you are now. She then after my little sister did the same she became much less stressed and relaxed you'll see a hole new side of her once she isn't as worried about you every second of everyday, and the fact your lil problems aren't hers anymore. Sorry to say but honestly you CANNOT change her mind. But I am most certainly not saying that moving in with your dad for a permit is worth it thats just stupid.

Driving is a very huge responsibility and just because you are old enough doesn't mean you just have to do it. I personally have 4 sons two are still to young to drive. I personally did not allow the older two to have a license until they were 18. So, I would have to say, I agree with your mom. Sorry. and Good luck and God bless

not sure where u live but in vancouver u gotta be 16 to get ur L, then after 1 year u can get ur N test. If you take driving school you can decrease that time to 6 months.
I think places in Alberta, u can drive when ur 14? driving regulations differ from place to place

Don't rush, I got my permit when I was 16 1/2, I know how moms get when you wanna do something and she don't want you to, maybe you should gain her trust by drivin her around town and showing her that you can ACTUALLY drive, just keep it cool for about two weeks and then when your drivin her around drive to the place where you get your permit, she'll think WTF are you doing? but she'll let it go, well thats what I did, It was FUNNY.

Um, just be patient with her. I recently got mine and there's a lot of work that you may have to do before you can get your permit (depending on your state and what curriculum you use). It really does require a lot of responsibility.
My best answer is to show them that you're responsible in other areas of life (school, chores, etc.), then ask her again later.

Sign an agreement promising her that if you were to ever get in trouble, like hit someone kill some one by accident and if you were to be tried, you will plead guilty and want to be tried as an adult. If you believe that you cannot take this burden, then I guess you are not ready.

I agree with your mom. You'll be ready when you stop mentioning to people how many months past 15 you are.
