ok. so this is prolly like the weirdest question around, but o well. so i'm 14. my birthday was in january. i really want to get my learners permit, i have the book and everything, but there is one problem. i don't want to get it because of my weight. cause, ya know, they put your weight on the lisense, well, i weigh a lot more than most people think. and when i get it all of my friends will be like OMG!! you got your lisense, let me see!! blah blah blah... so anyways, i don't want people to make fun of my weight, but how else will i ever drive?? help!!! thanks!! <3
uisforukelele answered Tuesday May 29 2007, 7:58 pm: i live in texas, and my weight isn't on my permit, but i guess it's different for you. just tell them the weight that you look. they aren't going to like put you on a scale right there or anything. and it's mainly to identify you anyway. i could probably pass off as ten pounds lighter than i am. so if you just tell the the weight that you look, then it should make you feel better! because that actually makes more sense anyways if they had to identify you.

LoveNJstyle answered Tuesday May 29 2007, 6:13 pm: a lot of people lie on the weight part of that... my mom got her liscence in one state 13 years ago when she was much lighter and when she would renew it, they would ask her if that changed and they didnt care than it was still the same... women subtract pounds and men add to their height... seriously. so i'm not saying just lie to the person because lying is good, no, what i'm saying is that it doesn't really matter. if you weigh like 140... you could be 125. you could ask around and see what people think you weigh (just don't get offended by it!) and see what you can get away with. don't let it stop you from driving... either way, if you have a car, i don't think anyone will even care. <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]
Elcee answered Tuesday May 29 2007, 12:10 pm: I live in England so I can't answer about age and weight, but what I will say is I think perhaps only you care too much about your weight. Have your friends got theirs yet and if so what are their weights? Is your weight comparable? If it is unavoidable about putting your weight on the licence, then perhaps you can say your parents won't let you carry it around just yet and leave the licence at home until you need it. Please don't let this put you off getting your learners permit. Good luck. [ Elcee's advice column | Ask Elcee A Question ]
gsngirl7 answered Monday May 28 2007, 11:51 pm: You have a couple of years until you can get your permit so if you want to loose weight, you have plenty of time. Go walking or exercise or something if you want to loose weight. Hope my advice helps! ♥ Jenny [ gsngirl7's advice column | Ask gsngirl7 A Question ]
XoXoXoXo77 answered Monday May 28 2007, 11:43 pm: you cant get it until youre 15 anyways. so try to lose some weight before then.. you have like 8 months.
oh yeah and also.. they dont weigh you when you get your permit. so basically you can lie a little but make sure its reasonable.. like minus 5-7 pounds. theyre not gonna question you because that would be rude. [ XoXoXoXo77's advice column | Ask XoXoXoXo77 A Question ]
