Can You Get a Driver's License Under 18?
2 Answers
You cannot get a driver's license if you are under 18. Here is the expanded information on the age requirements for applying for a driver's license: 1. For small cars: Small automatic transmission cars, small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled, and mopeds require applicants to be between 18 and 70 years old. 2. For low-speed trucks: Three-wheeled cars, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, or wheeled self-propelled machinery require applicants to be between 18 and 60 years old. 3. For city buses: Large trucks, trolleybuses, or tramcars require applicants to be between 20 and 50 years old.
Well, I know this question comes up a lot. It's not allowed—the law clearly states that you must be at least 18 years old to get a driver's license, and this is for safety reasons. Young people below this age often have underdeveloped brains, with judgment and reaction times that just aren't up to par, making accidents more likely. I've seen plenty of cases where trying to drive too early ended in trouble. My advice to those under 18 is to hold off and focus on learning traffic rules—whether through books or online courses—to build up knowledge. Once you're old enough, then go ahead and sign up for driving school. That way, the test will go smoother. Remember, safety always comes first. Don't do something reckless just because of a momentary impulse.
