Car license.

Not sure if this is right section, but I didnt find any other for this. So, from what age am I allowed to have car? and to have a license? I am 16 now.

What about the Learning to Drive Forum?

You may own a car at any age - the restrictions only apply to driving one on a public road.

You may do the Theory Test now. If you pass, and reach 17 years, you may apply for a category B Learner Permit. This will allow you to access public roads for the purposes of learning to drive but you are legally required to be accompanied, have insurance, tax etc.

At 16 years of age, you may apply for a Learner Permit in categories A1, M or W (after having passed theory test first). There is no requirement to be accompanied in these categories.
