Subject: How old do you have to be to drive?....
.......in your area?
Here in Canada it's 16. Although I already can drive and own a own a truck.
Subject: Re: How old do you have to be to drive?....
I believe in all of US of America, its 16.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Based on your age in your profile, all I can say is: Don't be in a hurry to grow up and drive. I remember when I was your age, I was so ready to be an adult and get my license etc.
But as soon as I started to realise what it meant to actually be an adult, I didn't want it anymore. ;)

I never said I wanted to grow up, all I want to do is take my sh!tbox truck on the freeway.

In the U.K you need to be 17 to have a car licence.
I think you can have a licence for a scooter/moped from 16.

Here in Australia....New South Wales at least, you need to be 16 to obtain a learners permit and at 17 you are then eligible for a provisional licence.

16
Subject: Re: How old do you have to be to drive?....
17, and not necessarily compos mentis, as a lot of people in college have proved...
Subject: Re: How old do you have to be to drive?....
16 to get a provisional licence, but 17 to actually start learning to drive. I'm learning at the moment!
Subject: Re: How old do you have to be to drive?....
Yeah... thanks for the clarification Criz! I wasn't sure myself. I don't know if I'm going to be able to learn...
Good luck on your learning! I saw a recent theory exam, and it wasn't too bad. Sort of like, a Give Way sign, and it said, "what are you meant to do here". One of the options WAS Give Way... I managed that one..
Best of luck!

sixteen in pennsylvania. but that's just to get a learner's permit...i don't think there's any specific age for when you get your normal license (obviously, you can't get it if you're younger than sixteen.).
i've only a few more months to go...drivers' ed. this spring. :)
Subject: Re: How old do you have to be to drive?....
Here you have to be 15&1/2 to get your permit, and 16 to get your license. But just look at me-I'm rarely allowed to practice my driving skills so I'm 18 with just a friggin permit! >:(
Subject: Re: How old do you have to be to drive?....
I never knew because my mother didn't allow me to even get my permit until I was 18. Then I didn't get my licence until I was 22. (Yeah, yeah, I know-it was just circumstances).

15&1/2 were's this?
Subject: Re: How old do you have to be to drive?....
In Washington state it's also 15 & 1/2 to get driver's permit and 16 for a license.
Subject: Re: How old do you have to be to drive?....
actually in Indiana its 15 for a permit too. I thought he meant 'how old do you have to be to get a license', in that case its 16.
But with the permit, I belive you must drive with an adult the whole time. Maybe I'm wrong, its been a looooooong time since I got mine. :)
Subject: Re: How old do you have to be to drive?....
In NJ you have to be 16 for a provisional license where you can only drive if someone in the car has a regular license. The regular license can be obtained when you're 17.
I think that's what the law is...
Subject: Re: How old do you have to be to drive?....
in maryland its 15 and 9 months the get your permit, have to hold it for 4 months. so to drive, must be 16 and 1 month to have your provisional license(just means you have certain hours you can't drive like 12-5am).17 and 7 months is minimal age for the unrestriced Drivers License. I was 15 and 4 months when they changed the law (you still had to be 15 and 9 months to get the permit, but you only needed to hold it for 2 weeks before going for your license, minimal age 16 0 months) so i got cheateded >:(
