Too young to be driving methinks, although I certainly didn't when I was 14!

*Mental note*...move to Alberta, Canada......

Around here I think it's 15.5 gets a permit, 16 gets a license (if has a permit and taken a class), and 18 gets a license without a class.

I think they also recently set up up a law to restrict teenage driving so you can't have other teens in the car with you; apparently you're more likely to get into an accident if you have your friends in your car.

uk- 16 liecense......

Lets see:
16½--permit--no one under 21 in the car, only 1 person.
17--"restricted license"--1 family member or 1 other person over 21
18--license--anyone.

im pretty sure thats the way it is here. i could have the passengers mixed up for permit and RL.

I heard that Europe has stricter and tougher driver examinations, well Germany anyways. Is this true? The tests here are a joke.

[ragt20]

the tests are pretty strict.... you have to pass a written test b4 even applyin for practical.......which then I think U are allowed upto 3 minor mistakes anything over or even one big mistake....U fail...........

In Ontario, a blind chimp on crack could get his beginners!!

Here, its:

16: G1 (beginners, cant drive alon, someone with 4 years experience must be in the drivers seat, no driving on highways with speed limits of 100kph, no driving between 12-5) It is a written test.

Take a driving course
16 years, 8 months: G2 (drive alone, no booze) it is a driving test

If no driving course
17: G2

12 months after G2
G (full license) it is a driving test

In New Brunswick it's like this:

16 - Class 7 graduated 1 - 0% alcohol, 1 Class 5 liscensed passenger
16, 4 months - Class 7 graduated 2 - 0% alcohol, no other restrictions
18 - Class 5 - points begin to cumulate (points are good, they are subtracted if you get a violation, 0 points = no liscense), can be the passenger for a Class 7 G1
18 - Class 4, 3, 2, 1 - All optional, these are simply licenses for bigger vehicles, class 1 can drive anything including transport trucks.

Its 15 for learners but you dont graduate to teh next steps by age

learners-restricted takes 6 months from time of gettinglearners
restricted-full takes 18 months or 12 months if you do a defensive driving course

I'm 17

i thought everywhere in canada you get your beginners at 16?

[Chris]

My cousin in Calgary got his beginners when he was 14. But most places in Canada you need to be 16 to get any license.
