I don't think its true, it might be something they are bringing it but currently you can apply for a provisional at 16 but it will only have moped category allowed on it. You can definately apply for one this year as the law currently stands. I've just applied for my sons he's just turned 16 so I know you can. |

The raising of the minimum age for driving to 18 was a proposal and has not been implemented.
The age at which you can apply for a provisional licence for a car is two months prior to your 17th birthday but will not become valid until that date. however, if you are registered disabled, and in receipt of full invalidity benefit, you can apply at 16yrs. |

As the law stands at the moment, the earliest you personally can apply for a provisional car licence, is October 2008.
The Government is considering changing the law, so that new drivers won't be able to obtain a full licence until they are 18. It hasn't happened yet, but a lot can change in 12 months... |
