Do You Need to Be an Adult to Get a Driver's License?

You need to be an adult to get a driver's license. Here are some important points to note: 1. Age restrictions: Minors are not allowed to obtain a driver's license. Traffic laws clearly stipulate that you must be at least 18 years old to apply for a car driver's license. For small cars, small automatic transmission vehicles, small automatic transmission passenger vehicles for the disabled, and light motorcycles, the applicant must be between 18 and 70 years old. 2. Application materials: You can directly bring your ID card to a local driving school to apply. For large vehicle driver's licenses, you need to apply at a driving school in your registered residence. For Class C small vehicle driver's licenses, you can apply in a different location. If your ID card is lost, you can bring a temporary ID card.
Obtaining a driver's license indeed requires adulthood, which is explicitly stipulated by law. I remember when I went to register, the staff required me to be at least 18 years old. Driving demands mature responsibility and judgment, and minors lack sufficient mental maturity, making them prone to panic in emergencies. Moreover, being legally liable for accidents is something minors cannot independently bear. Requirements are even stricter for licenses like those for trucks or buses, with higher age thresholds. So, I advise younger friends not to rush; it's more practical to spend this time learning traffic laws and regulations.
