Is the Legal Driving Age the Same for All Countries? The legal driving age is the age in which a person can obtain their driver's license to operate a motor vehicle. In the United States, the age in which a person can legally drive is 16 and there are certain rules that must be met before the teenager receives their license. These requirements include obtaining a learner's permit and taking driver education classes before taking the written and driving exam for the driver's license. However, the rules per state vary. Some states allow the learner's permit to be issued at the age of 15 and the teen must satisfy 6 months of driving practice with someone over 21 in the vehicle. During the 6 months, the learner must drive a certain number of hours during the day and a certain number of hours in the evenings. Then again, there are states that do not have such a requirement and may only require the teenager to have their permit for 30 days prior to taking the exam. Nevertheless, it isn't just about the requirements in the U.S. What about driving ages in other countries?
