I'm not sure about other countries, but in the USA, you can get a license at the age of 16.

I was hoping I would get one today since I turned 16, but I will probably wait til the weekend. (Is this a cover story for a birthday thread for me? Maybe.)

So OT, when did you get your license?

what is the steps to getting a drivers license where you can drive yourself around in the U.S? Do you just turn 16 and go for a test?

No you don't. The license age is 16 nationwide. I think you're mistaking it for the permit age (which is 15).

In Canada you can get in when you're 16. Which would explain so many accidents involving 19-20 year old dumb kids. I got mine when I was 18. No accidents since then! Just a speeding ticket for driving at 71/KM per hour in 50KM per hour zone.

Either your teacher is misinformed or you misheard. In the US, your permit is 15 1/2, your license is 16.

I got my learner's permit when I was 14 years and 9 months old (on the day), and then I got my license on my 16th birthday. If you can't tell, I was pretty excited to drive :P

I am 24 and have yet to get my license. Live in Seattle so we have a pretty decent public transportation system which has enabled me to never really need one. Live 5 blocks from my local Safeway and have all the fast food places I can handle right next to me. I have been with my girlfriend living together for 5 years and she drives so if we have a emergency or such she can get us there.

Feels nice being one of the few people with a real low carbon footprint.
