We call it an open here and you have to be at least 20. Learners at 15 and then you have two stages of a provisional license.

@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.
