in the UK there are courses that 16 yr olds can take on private land ( usually airfields) that enable you to take your test on your 17th birthday. Do some net searches i'm sure you'll find some.

If you are in the UK and under 17 driving a car private land with permission only is OK, as you are uninsured and can not apply for licence. 17th birthday you are eligible to possess provisional licence and can drive on the highway providing that you are accompanied by a qualified driver, who takes responsibility and you are a named driver on the cars’ insurance, or you are taking a driving lesson with a registered driving instructor who has a ‘group’ type insurance that covers you on the road.
In theory there is nothing to stop you applying for your driving test on your 17th birthday – at least the first part the written part and then moving on to the actual practical/driving part of the test should you pass the written/theory part of the test.
Motorcycle tests/licences are different and capacity/power output restricted with the smallest category open to 16 year olds.

You are NOT allowed on the public roads (beachs or other public areas) until you are 17, have a provisional licence AND a qualified driver (who is over 21 AND has been driving for 3 years). You can however practice on private land, as long as you have the permission of the land owner.

In the UK you can't drive a car on the public roads (or in any other public place like a car park) until you are 17 years only.
If you have permission, you can drive on private ground.
There are some courses you could take, such as Earlydrive at Brands Hatch ( http://enjoy.underwired.com/portfolio/sites/brandshatch/exp_early.html ).

UK laws do not permit this, if you drive anywhere particularly on the Queens highway you can be prosecuted, only ways round it is to drive on private land with permission and even that is problematic, if you cause damage or injury you can be held accountable for these things even then.

Depens on the laws of your states. Most states require a permit just to practice, and for that you take a written test not a driving test.

i assume that he suggested you blew a .087 (at .87 you may want to be useless). there are possibly no grounds for dismissal, yet you'll take care of to debate this jointly with your criminal professional (an criminal professional will be appointed for you in juvenile court docket). there is not any mandatory penal complicated time (certainly, for juveniles there is not any penal complicated time in any respect). There might want to be a disposition short of a DUI conviction (established in California as a "moist reckless"). there is possibly no longer some thing you may want to do to keep your license, seeing that any drug or alcohol offense by using someone less than 21 leads to a a million twelve months license suspension.

As long as you are not posing any danger to others, this should not be a problem. But this forum is not the final authority on the subject. So please check, you comply with your local regulations

only on private land and I do not mean car parks etc., it has to be privately owned land with the owners permission as you will not be insured.
