How old do you have to be

@Notladylike Strict. But i suppose it may create better drivers.

@Perry1968 Yes it is strict. It came about because of the number of fatalities involved with newly license drivers. I remember one of my lecturers at uni being part of the research team involved in creating the system.

@Notladylike Thats quite good to a extent. I learned my kids at young ages so they would be competent drivers. Although you do get some parents who hand over the keys of a porshe or something that.ll kill you to a kid at a young age. Thats not a bad law imo where you are.

@Elessar Laws are crazy in most countries it seems

@SW-User I learned at 10 on farmland here in Devon UK but yeah like your country its 17.

@Perry1968 you must have loved that!

@SW-User Oh i really did. I could just go for it once shown. I could drive pretty competently at 12. At 14 i used to drive my brothers 44 tonne truck. Lol. I drove for a living so not so keen anymore.

@Perry1968 hardship license, for example

@iamnikki Ah right. Ive never heard of that.

@Perry1968 farming type community,,needed to help family, I forget what all criteria was but yes at 15 you can drive

@MsSwan Same as here i think. They call it a provisional licence youbcan get at 16. But can only take a full test bike or car at 17. Heavy goods vehicles. (Trucks) 21.

@CactusJackManson Its a big country. Here its the same throughout. Its the UK after all. Youve got states bigger than this country lol.

@Perry1968 16 for a full licence and 15 and some months for a learners permit. So 16

@MyNameIsHurl Its crazy here though tbh. You can driver a tractor at 16 unattended and some wiegh around 10 tonnes. More with a trailer and load. Same if you have a full motorcycle licence here you can drive a manual (stick shift) 3 wheeler car thats exactly the same as driving any other car. Most are manual transmission gearboxes here. We live in a wierd country.

@Perry1968 that is pretty crazy

@ImRileyTheDog your age group is very old

@deadgerbil I know🥴🤤
