They say this every year...... its getting boring. Rumour mate its rumour, ignore every one..... phone the DSA urself if you dont believe us. Its 17, and thats that. I always used to here, "from this September if you aint 17 you have to be 18 to drive" its all cr*p. Think also of this, a majority of ppl who learn, are 17. Places like BSM, The AA etc would struggle like hell for a year waiting for the ppl who didnt make the supposed "september barrier" because no1 would be 18!!! Well obviously some people would, but the 17yr olds would be bugad.!! :o
