Learners permit 14. Unrestricted drivers license on my 15th birthday.

i was 18. I never had teh want or need before then.

 

[WhoBeDaPlaya]

24!
To be fair though, that's when I got my US driver's license.

15 for a permit, 16 for an unrestricted license, and 22 for a motorcycle permit and license. I believe they started implementing the restrictions on under-18 and under-21 licenses a few years after that.

I had a learner's permit first... I think I got the unrestricted one at 16.

16 but maybe you should ask when did you start to drive as that was 15!

"Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!"

had my permit at 15, but got my license at 18

I got my permit the first day they were open after my 16th birthday and my license a couple of weeks later after the waiting period was over (I think PA had a 4 week period where you spent the time with your permit learning how to drive.) I can still remember the first time I drove without a parent in the car, I felt so free. My parents wanted me to get it so they wouldn't have to pick me up from after school events or drive me to work. I think they liked that I could pick up my younger brother from his events too. I was the second to the last kid, so they were about done playing taxi driver.

I got my motorcycle permit when I was 19 and my motorcycle endorsement at 26.
