I do not know about California but across the country states are changing the laws but right now it does range from 16-18 years old depending on where you live. It also depends on factors like taking driver's ed.\n\nIndiana it is 16 w/ driver's ed but there are limits on when you can drive for the first three months and you cannot drive with anyone under 21 in the car but you can drive by yourself.\n\nA lot of states limit when and who you can drive with after you get your license for a period of time.

My brother was given a temp. license after completing driver's ed through school earlier this year. He just went to court to get his perm. license a few weeks ago. He is 16.

if their job involves driving, yes.  otherwise, it depends on the province they are in, and the labour law there.

I THINK IT'S 16 NO MATTER WHERE YOUR AT. YOU CAN GET A SPECIAL WORK PERMIT IF YOUR YOUNGER

You can get a permit, but a full license comes at 18

I don't believe the legal driving age should be raised. I don't believe it will solve anything. I believe we need better Driver's Education in high schools, more parental involvement (or at least more parental common sense), and more Practical Road Testing. Kids here are tested on city streets, and then go out and die on the highway. Go figure!\nAnother problem we're having, in my opinion, are video games. I know, now the PS2 crowd is getting mad, and don't get me wrong; I like 'em too. But they don't follow real life rules of mass and inertia. Let's face it; a kid zipping around a race track on an XBOX since he was 13 obviously knows the difference between the game and real life. But his BRAIN still treats the game as "experience", and he's liable to react to an emergency automatically as if he were playing the game. Which frequently is the wrong way to react.\nPerhaps a better solution would be to governer a teenager's car. The governer could be set to prevent the vehicle from accelerating beyond 55 MPH, at least solving the problem of speeding. With today's computerized vehicles, a parent could simply take the vehicle to a service station and request the vehicle be governered, and a coded sequence would be inserted into the computer that would limit the vehicle to 55MPH. I think that would help, especially among male drivers.

16, if you get your permit when you're 15-1/2.  You have to drive with your permit for 6 months before you're eligible to get your license.

No. You don't have a valid driver's license and aren't allowed to drive anywhere.\n\nBest wishes and God bless.

Here in Washington State you have to be 15.5 years old to get just a PERMIT but not a complete license, and 18 to get your full license.

No. Many people seem to forget that driving is a privilege NOT a right. If you are too old, too short, too young, too drunk, or too stupid you should NOT be allowed to drive. It is not offensive to question this as it is about the safety of the entire community.

Probably never being allowed to drive when you reach the legal age......  seeing as the chance of you ever getting a license would probably be slim to none.\n\nThen, if by chance you were ever allowed to drive, your insurance would probably be insanely high.\n\nTake a bus.... haul a cab....  ride a bike....

If you mean by being caught, like being pulled over by the cops, well with just a permit you will most likely just get a warning or a ticket. I can only see a warning depending on what you did. But if a parent or no one who is at least 18 with a license isn't in the car with you then I just see a ticket and your permit being taken away. ALong with the possible not getting your real license till 18.

You will have to wait until you are 18.

If they raised the legal driving age to 30, then 30 year olds would be causing fatal crashes daily.  They're new to driving and still getting the hang of it.  Yes, some of it has to do with irresponsibility, but for the most part they aren't skilled enough to know how to manoever their way around sticky situations.  It takes time and practice to be really good at something, no matter what age a person is.

Utterly illegal, a learner driver in the UK has to be accompanied by someone aged over 21 with a full driving licence which they've held for at least three years if they are driving a car. Whether or not they own the car themselves is irrelevant.\n\nSuch a driver would be guilty of 'Driving other than in accordance with a licence' (max penalty: £1000 fine, 6 penalty points and possible driving disqualification) and as their insurance would be invalidated by driving illegally also 'Driving without insurance' (max penalty £5000 fine, 8 penalty points and possible driving disqualification).  It's all in the Highway Code.
