Answer 3

You can still apply for a provisional license at 17 but they are making the testing more rigorous so that anyone will be 18 before they are able to take the full test.

Answer 4

In UK you can't drive on your own under the new law untill you are 18 and can't put in for your test untill 18 but you may learn to drive at 17 still.

Answer 5

Are you talking about in the U.S.? I haven't heard anything about that here... it's still 16 to get a license (15 in most states for a permit).

Answer 6

idk where u are, but im in the US, and in rhode island, u can start driver's ed at 15 and 10 months, and then get ur permit at 16 from the DMV, and at the sametime, they set up ur driving test date, usually 6 months from the date u get ur permit. Then drive with it for 6 months, WITHOUT getting any traffic violation(s). Then, when ur 16 1/2, u take the road test, and if u pass, they give u a provisional license, where u can drive by urself, except between, 12 p.m. and 5 a.m.. then, after another 6 months, u get ur full license.

Answer 8

If you were born in or before 1991, then you can start to learn aged 17, but if you were born in or after 1992, you have to be 18!
