Like the OP, my first Ca DL was 41 years ago, flimsy paper, black and white with a photo in profile. That was done so bars could tell if you were a minor at a glance.
My first car was '55 VW Bug, full throttle was 65 mph. I got marked down by the driving examiner for failing to stop for a pedestrian in the crosswalk. The ped was on the other side of the street but I still managed to pass on the first attempt.. 40 years ago was also when my dream car was brand new, '69 Plymouth Hemi Roadrunner. Couldn't afford it at my minimum wage job pumping gas for $1.65 an hour. Unfortunately I still can't afford a '69 Hemi Roadrunner. I am guessing they go for $100,000 or more now. |

Turned 16 on Dec 13th, got my permit on that day. Took driving test on the 14th. Passed with flying colors on a snow covered course too in a 1989 Berretta GT.
Got my first ticket on the 15th doing 51 in a 25. Cop gave me a break and told me doubling the speed limit was an automatic suspension for 30 days, he reduced it to 49. Cost me $225.10. ahhhh....those were the days.... |

Aging the ID.
It's funny you mention lamination and date changing. I did the same thing successfully with my draft card, all males were required to carry their card along with their other ID, or face the consequences, after the 3 year boost in age, I laminated the thing. It always worked to buy beer or go to nudie bars.

I really feel sorry for you...

Wow! What they gave you sounds hardly worth having; the system of licensing has become fascist. My license in 1970 was the equal of every other driver on the road. Nobody would've put up with the whittled down version the "authorities" foisted on you. It's an outrage! |

Got mine in 1985.
I remember taking the test in my parents 77 impala. The instuctor took points because I didn't yield in time but I didn't have a choice, that car was so huge you had to stick the nose half way through the intersection before you could see anything.
