Its 17 years old for your learners and then 18 to get your actual drivers.
Although to be honest I dont think my mother will ever let me drive the Golf.
Chances are I will end up with a Ford Bantam 1.5 tonner Bakkie (which are really nice) or if Im extremely luck i may get my dads Pajero which is stunning. The GTI might be used to learn in because the Pajero is Automatic/Tiptronic.
:embarassed: I am counting down the days though
