  • The age at which a person may have permission to get a driving license has varied by jurisdiction and by year. When I started driver training I was 14 and a high school freshman. The age has been raised for safety and insurance reasons since those days. I did not have to have a driving license, as a practical matter, until I was in college and found it was less expensive to drive home for summer vacations than to fly home. The answer to this question will depend on where a person lives. Some locations do not have good public transportation, so a driving license may be needed earlier for school attendance or employment. In other locations, a large city, for example, a person might never be required or practically need to have a driving license.
