I think it should be 18.  i didnt get mine until 17 and I could have got it at 16.  Kids should not be driving, most (not all) are too reckless and think its cool to race and go fast and dont know how to control the car.  There are more teen deaths in CO then anything else (driving wise)

In denmark when you turn 18, you pay about 2000 $ take 6 months of classes, then take a driving test, and a paper test (or whatever its called)
if you fail any of those tests you have to pay extra take more lessons and then take the test again, soo gay

The license at 16 is a GDL, so you have to have a 0% blood alcohol level(even if you're 18), and you only have 8 points I think to lose before they suspend your license. At 18 you get the real license where you can have like a 0.06 bac before you can't drive and you have 15 points to lose instead of 8.

Nobody from NJ sooo...

16-16.5 for permit, 6 months from getting your permit to getting your PROVISIONAL license which is 1 non-family passenger, have to be in 12AM - 5 AM,

18 Unrestricted.
And they're trying to pass some bullshit law where you can't get your full license til 21, reduce the curfew to 11-6 and some other really really dumb shit, like a sticker on your car to say you're under 21.  New Jersey is so retarded.

new jersey is fucked... permit at 16 with 6 hours behind the wheel with a driving instructor and can only drive with a parent before 11:00pm. jr license at 17 if you have had your permit for 6 months, but you start with like 4 points on your license and cant drive after 12am. full license at 18. ohh and drivers ed classes are almost mandatory if you dont want to go into the written test blindly.

but even with all the restrictions and shit, nj still has the worst drivers in the country because our actual driving test is the easiest thing in the world. you go on a closed course, parallel park, k turn, and make like 3 left turns at 5mph with no traffic and you pass. Its like 1 minute long. NJ makes no sense to me...

From what I remember, you get your permit at 15 or 15.5, have to drive with a relative 18 or older in the passenger seat until 16 and a month, when you can then take your tests to get your full license, which is considered temporary until 16 and a half or something. This is for Indiana by the way, and it might be wrong, this was like 8 years ago...

Now its 16.

You used to be able to get your license at 14.5 if you lived out of town or had a legitimate reason to need to drive.

Pennsylvania:

16 you can take your learners permit test(written computerized exam).  must drive w/ parent/guardian/etc for 6 months

16.5  you can take your road test and obtain your junior driver's license. (only restricition is a curfew of 11pm) which is the only restriction i can recall

17.5/18  senior license (17.5 if no accidents/traffic violations/etc.)

they are or did pass a new law that you have to wait a year instead of six months after you obtain your learners permit to take your road test for your junior license(1994 birthdays and after).

In the fucked up state of Massachusetts you need to be 16 for your permit and 16.5 for your license. That isn't too bad  but i think u should be able to get your permit at 15.5. MA's laws for driving age arent bad but i don't like this place so much.

15 for a permit if you're in Driver's Ed
15.5 for a permit otherwise
16 for a license

and then you can only have your family in the car for 6 months, then only two additional non-family members for the next 6 months. unrestricted driving at 17. messed up WA.
