I would like to know programmes initiated or heavily promoted by your respective governments and what you must do in order to obtain your driver's licenses, if it's no trouble.
Thanks in advance for your help guys. :5cheers: |
Don't know about the countries you listed and also am probably out of date with my knowledge of the current procedures in Finland, and my memory may not be perfect (this happened more than 34 years ago), but if things have changed or if I remembered wrong, I'm sure someone will correct me.
The age limit at the time when I got my license was 18, and I had to attend theory classes a couple of times a week for three months in the evenings.
There were about the same amount of driving lessons with an instructor for the same three months. And at the end you obviously had to pass the driving test and the theory test plus prove that you knew all your traffic signs.
Pretty standard I would think, except for the age limit, here in the US, the kids get licenses at 16.
