How to Congratulate a New Driver on Getting Their License
Sometimes, a new driver feels like a mixed blessing to their parents!
Funny Things to Write in a Card for Someone Who Just Passed Their Driving Test
• It's not true, is it? We're all a bit panicked, so we'll be staying off the roads for a bit to make room for you.
• In a world of crazy drivers, you're now officially driving amongst them. Congrats!
• Here's the biggest tip I can give you: Always drive with your eyes open.
• At first, you'll be excited about driving—until you're the one asked to run all the errands.
• We welcome you to the roads as an official driver! We're secretly scared out of our minds, but we'll get over it.
• Your confidence behind the wheel has us in panic mode.
• "Can I have the keys?"—five words we've been dreading!
• Stay calm and do the right thing; drive the speed limit!
• If you think for one minute we're going to let you use the car, well, you're right! Here are the keys; have at it!
• Congratulations, you're now on the roads. Actually, I meant "yikes."
• You drive, I drive, we all drive: Welcome to the club.
• A yellow light doesn't mean "clear the intersection fast," like my dad told me.
• My knickers are in a twist 'cause now you'll want the car.
• I'm torn between "Yippee!" and "Holy Hannah."
• Congratulations to the newest road warrior!
• Don't drive too fast, don't drive too slow . . . I wish I could say, "Just don't drive."
• You have accomplished something amazing; you passed it on the first try!
• Driving is freeing, but not when you're using my car!
• Only the road knows, but so will the police if you drive too fast.
• Don't tailgate. Only jerks do that.
If you're happy and you know it, and you really want to show it, then always wear your seatbelt and follow the speed limit and be incredibly careful. Whew.
More Humorous Card Inscriptions for a New Driver's License
• Drive nicely and remain calm.
• Yesterday, you were driving a toy car; today, you're toying with a real car.

• Congrats. Good. Now you can drive us everywhere.
• If you're happy and you know it, drive your car!
• Who tested you? Really? Ah well, congrats anyway.
• Thank gawd we don't have flying cars, 'cause then we'd all be in panic mode. Congrats on getting your ground-driving license!
• Getting a license to drive a car isn't easy! How did you do it?!
• The roads are ready for you. We're not!
• The words "You're driving now" are like the title of some horror movie.
• When you get to a red light, remember: That's the color for STOP!
• Your GPS will always take you home—unfortunately, you have to drive the car to get there!
• Claim your freedom and drive . . . just do it with your own car.
• We're sending you good wishes as you take to the roads, and we're sending everyone else on the road the same thing!
Enjoy the freedom, and remember the responsibility.

It took my aunt 4 tries to get her drivers licence. She was in her 40's and my uncle bought her the longest vintage car I had ever seen. I could not have imagined taking the test in that car lol. It was a beauty though.
