Learn Driving

Which is the best age to start learning driving? When did you start? Was it too early now that you think about it?

Honestly, the moment you are legally allowed to. I didn't learn straight away but it was only a few years later. It was pretty much a good time to learn because I had time to do regular lessons and it wasn't too daunting either

I learned at 17 but I waited until I was 18 to take the test (I think there were less restrictions once you were a legal adult).

I learned at 21 and passed my test first time.

Been driving since I was 12 and got my drivers at 16, now I don't care to drive anymore I find it boring.

You don't need to be 18 to get a license?

Where I was born 16 you could get learners, hold that for two weeks and get your permanent drivers.
That was a long time back and it may have changed.

My parents & then the school when they had Driver's Ed when I was 16. It was a summer course & was a bit annoying going back to school in the summer! lol My pet peeve was because I live where it snows, they didn't teach us how to drive on snow & ice. My parents had to help with that portion.
I think the best age is when the kid can handle the responsibility. 16 may be too young for some people.

I feel like the best age to start learning to drive is as soon as you are legally allowed to be on the road with someone who is trained to teach you and be in the car with you. I never started learning to drive until I was around 26 and due to health issues that arose over the years, I have had to now stop learning to drive after failing my test. I am hoping to go back to learning again when I can afford to and when I feel my health is more stable. I do wish I had started to learn to drive when I was around 17/18 years old though.
