What is the minimum age to learn driving?

Generally speaking, you can obtain a driver's license at the age of 18 or above. Here is relevant information about driver's licenses: 1. Vehicle types permitted by C1 driver's license: small and mini passenger vehicles as well as light-duty vehicles. 2. Driving test subjects: The examination includes three subjects - traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving). Each subject requires prior appointment before taking the test (special circumstances may be scheduled through the driving test green channel). 3. How long after expiration does a driver's license become invalid: Time regulations: (1) If expired for less than one year, the license can be renewed normally; (2) If expired for more than one year but less than three years, the license will be canceled, but can be reinstated by passing Subject 1 of the driving test; (3) If expired for more than three years, the license becomes permanently invalid and cannot be renewed.
When it comes to the age for learning to drive, it depends on what type of vehicle you want to drive. For the most common car licenses, like C1 or C2, you must be at least 18 years old to start applying. Don’t underestimate this rule—people are more mentally mature after 18, making them less likely to make mistakes while driving. If you want to learn to drive buses or large trucks, like a Class B license, the age requirement is even higher, usually 21 or older before you can take the test. Preparing for the theory exam in advance is a good idea, but practical driving practice must wait until you meet the age requirement. Age isn’t the only factor—you also need to pass a medical exam, like ensuring you’re not colorblind. I think these rules are quite reasonable. Learning at a younger age helps ensure better safety control, so there’s no need to rush—steady and cautious is the safest approach.
