Is it true that the driving age is being increased to 21 for people that are born in 1994 and later or is it just rumours?

Just rumours, I heard this one too, but I checked on the site a while back and it confirmed that they were just rumours. :)
even if it were to move up i doubt it'd be by 4 years
i remember the rumours it was going up to 18 a few years back, yeah cus that happened
Why can't England be like America, where everyone can learn to drive at 16?
i wouldnt like to be like america, no alcohol untill 21, no thanks.
oh good, i'd be propa depressed if i had to wait till 21 :PQuote:

what do you mean no sex till 18? there is no law to my knowledge saying you cant, but if you're above 18, and you have a girlfriend under 18 and you have sex, than break up, theres a chance shell screw you over and use the rape card. besides, most girls here lose their v card at 12 or 13 tbh.Quote:

Driving age here is 16, drinking age 21. Obviously people don't follow the drinking age. Age for straight sex is 14 and gay sex is 18.
I wish the driving age was higher here. You wouldn't believe how many 16 year old faildrivers there are :P
Sex is legal for 14?! Bloody hell...Quote:

No matter what it is people will still take the chanceQuote:

Apparently you can learn to drive in Alberta at 14, you can get your actual license at 16. That would be awesome.Quote:

I hope the driving age doesn't increase! :(
I've been waiting ages to drive and I've still got a couple of years left, if it gets risen I will not be happy! :D
I grew up thinking the driving age was 18 lol. I'll laugh so much if this rumour is true though because my brother was born in '94 :L
this happens EVERY year
i remember my sister panicking, then my brother, then my year
its proper lame how people believe it every year seriously
Its a load of crap. thats been around years, happens every year and it isnt true, it will stay at 17.
It's just rumours. It was even going round when I was 16. I think driving age is fine at 17, I think lowering it to 16, although it would never happen, would be stupid. There'd be loads of ******s on the roads. (yes, when I was 15/16 I wished the driving age would go down too.. looking back it's nonsense.)
It is 16 here to get your learners. Then once a year is up you are allowed to go for your "New Drivers" licence which allows you to drive by yourself.
I believe that it would be far too late to have the driving age at 21. It will create mass confusion and it would just be.. pointless. Although people even at 16 are immature (and always will) raising the age to 21 probobly wont solve any problems.
Yes, it HAS to be a rumour lol.
yeah it's true, this is the oldest rumor in the book designed to annoy people who are in the younger half of the school year.Quote:
