Legal Driving Age

[AndyDude312]

Is it true that the legal driving age is going to be increased from 17 to 18? If so that's well annoyed me. I'm 13 and wanna start driving lessons asap!

They are considering doing that.

[Samishlol]

It's not defo but they are thinking of it.

Can't see the difference that a year will make to be honest.. if they are going to raise it, they might aswell make it 21 or whatever.

They're thinking of it, and it solves nothing.

18 years olds are just as bad, and the only real rule is that you cannot drive with people between the age of 12-20 or something, which is stupid anyway. They're just asking for people to be trouble really.

Also, when you are 17 you have college (well, the majority do) but when you are 18, you have ages to much about, so that's one small reason not to.

it's not that much better than the UK, with your permit you can't really do anything anyway.
