The driving age in the US is 16 but should increase to 18

The legal UK driving age is still 17 and always will be (for the foreseeable future), whoever told you it went up is lying/wrong.
LOOK AT THE DAMN CATEGORY PEOPLE. The question is asking about the UK.

It's different in every state in the US. I got my full licence at 16 and 1/2. I started driving at 15.

In the UK its:
16 for a 50cc scooter or tractor
17 for a car &
21 for a Motorcycle 125cc or above.

No, the driving age has not gone up. You have to be 15 to get a permit, and 16 to get your liscense.

It should since the youngest and oldest are statistically the worst drivers.

I don't know but I hope it goes up here in the US all these youngstas. No, I think it should have a maximum age limit too.
