Is the age your allowed to drive at baing changed?

[mattsayle]

As a 16 year old i am counting down the days to my 17th birthday so i can start driving lessons but my bubble was burst when i heard the driving age was being changed to 18. Does anybody know when or if this law is being put in place?

Thanx

I think you start driving at 17, and get a provisinal license, then when your 18 you the official license.

I hope that makes sense.

It appears your g key is a bit sticky, here's a few:

ggggggggggggggg GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Also i see you have substituted the word for with the number 4, thereby i can only assume you're having trouble with your spelling and grammar.

I hope this will enable you to converse with other members of society without having to resort to spelling that would make a four year old cry.

Insurance companies started this sort of thing a few years back, while we lived in Florida. Their proposal was to raise the minimum age, stating that the 15-21 age group was too high risk. Of course, this also restricts the rights, mobility and the ability to work in that age group. It was instantly deemed unfair and unacceptable. As it turns out, it was simply a ploy to drastically raise premium rates on younger drivers, which they did. Don't say I didn't warn you.
