Not in the UK - 17 is the minimum age to apply for a driver provisional licence, for a car (bikes can be at 16, up to a certain engine size) valid if accompanied by a licenced driver, who must accompany a provisional licence holder, when driving, until he/she has passed the MoT Driving Test, theory and practical, and obtained a 'full' licence.
But on the other hand, next year I can apply for a free bus pass !!
