Answer 3

You start learning when you are 17. You can take the test whenever you want after you have come of age. However, for 2 years after you have obtained your license, you need someone above the age of 21 who has already had a licence for more than 2 years to be in the car with you when you are on the highway. Otherwise, when you are not on a highway, you can drive on your own.
