Actually, you can start no matter how old you are. You can't solo until you are 16 and you must be 17 to obtain a raiting. But here is no age limit on how old you need to be to log dual instruction time. I had a kid who started logging time at 14 years old. His plan was to proceed slowly and be ready to solo on his 16th birthday. Then they would use the year to prepare for their practical on his 17th birthday. We had logged dual time (which counted toward a rating) with kids as young as 8. The only requirement is that they are able to reach the controls and see over the dashpad.

wow that's impressive, i can't say i would've trusted myself at that young of an age, i also can't imagine soloing at 16... i had just started driving a car by myself haha

During the month of April any and all attempts to affect my post count will be acceptable, so keep this in mind as you fine-tune your guesses. Ask me questions, post anything that might prompt me to post, or whatever you think will work to your advantage. Now, I might or might not answer or post depending on my availability, but I will attempt to play the game to the best of my ability.
