Believe me, the media in the UK is extremely sensitive, if there was any sign of this happening there'd be debates on all our debate shows and the news would mention it and shun it down, the whole shebang!...The DVLA haven't said anything, so tbh, I don't think anything will happen.

if you were born in 1989 you can learn to drive at 17
and if you were born in 1990 you learn to drive at 18.

RE: RE: UK Driving Age
Driving Age Rumours - That website says how it was basically rumours, and why it isn't true; the obvious one being that the house of commons haven't even mentioned it.

Edit:In fact when I looked into it, the last plan with driving age limits was to lower it to 16, however the plan was rejected about 2-3 years ago. Since then no official plans have been given, and no unofficial ones have leaked in any shape.

Also here is the current law in the UK on driving

You cannot start to drive a car until your provisional driving licence has been accepted and in your possession. If you are in receipt of the higher rate of disability, you can start to learn how to drive when you reach your 16th Birthday otherwise you will have to wait until your 17th Birthday.
