I thought this a couple months back.
It's never been passed but keeps coming back up.
Results 11 to 17 of 17

the youngest you can get your LICENSE is 17, but the youngest you can actually DRIVE is 18...

The age requirement WILL STAY at 17. It has been confirmed numerous times that it will be STAYING at 17. The only thing happening in september is relevant to the theory test.
Instead of having 50 theory questions you will now have 45 theory questions and 5 questions based on a case study (you read a story and answer questions on it) the pass mark will still remain at 43/50 and the hazard perception test will still remain as it currently is.

You can learn to drive at 17, 16 in special cases but you'd have to read up on the DVLA for more information on that. You can apply for your provisional two months in advance, not three. It will say on your provisional on the back when it is valid from, so if you have it before you are 17, it still wont be valid yet. When you are 17 and have a full provisional license you are free to learn to drive, take the theory and the practical test. Which means you can attain a full driving license and 17 and legally drive at 17, unsupervised.
Anyone who thought you had to be 17 to learn, but 18 to drive unsupervised, was very wrong.Edited by Garion (Forum Super Moderator): Please do not have images in your signature that exceed the 150 Pixel height limit for your usergroup.

You must not drive until you´ve received your Provisional Licence and have reached your seventeenth birthday"

And have you got a source for this quote? Originally Posted by jam666

So don't try and call me stupid, when all I've provided is true information.Edited by Garion (Forum Super Moderator): Please do not have images in your signature that exceed the 150 Pixel height limit for your usergroup.
