What's the driving age where you live?

For me, it's difficult. I lived on a farm, so I could drive tractors and heavy machinery on the road at 13. I was one of those guys you saw driving a cotton picker down the interstate going 45 MPH with everyone pissed off.

You have to wait until your 16 where I live.

38

I live in Katy, Texas and the age for a driver's license is 16. But to get a permit you have to be 15.

In Australia you can get your learners permit when you are 16 yrs 9 mths. You then have to maintain a log book and accumulate I think its 150 driving hours with a fully licensed driver who doesnt have a driving offense. Then after you complete that and pass your practical exams you have to complete so many years of being a probationary driver I think its like 2 years where you have added restrictions on your license before you become a fully licensed driver. Its been a long time since I went through all that so some of those facts likely changed a little and tvary slightly depending on what state you do it on. But the general rule applies.

Venezuela. 18.

16 for learner's permit, and 17 for license. Nearly a week away before I can qualify for my learner's permit -- awesome.

16

16 for Permit, 16 1/2 for license.

I didn't get my license until I was 18 though

17 Over here in Northern Ireland, about to start learning myself, 1/2 a year late.

16 here in michigan

17 in the good ol' U of K.

The idea of having 16 year olds driving cars (without any limit) scares the living hell out of me.

16 here for a co-driver license which means you must have someone with an drivers license next to you, 18 for the normal license. Also maximum speed is a bit more limited for the first 2 years you get your license. Its a bit different for cycles at the age of 13 (yes 13) you can get a licence for a 50cc bike, you can get a license to drive a 125 cc at the age of 16, a license to drive up to 25Kw motor cylcles when you are 18 then at the age of 21 you can get the limitless licence (or if you got your licence at the age of 18 you will automaticly get your limitless lisence at 20).

You can get your license in Nashville at 16. It's ridiculous.

In the UK the age is 17 for your full licensee but you can get your provisional one at 16.

It's 17 here, but if I was in charge I'd make it 21. It's stupid to allow immature teenagers to drive cars. Even 21 is pushing it. Young people just aren't mature enough to control a car safely. They are dangerous machines, and you hear horror stories on the news of young people driving too fast, crashing and killing themselves, everyone in their car, and sometimes other innocent drivers/pedestrians. Just stop them from driving.

Don't remember, been a while since I got my license and the law changed or something I think.
