The talk apparently is:
Provisional licence at 17, then 1 years' training before full licence at 18 - can't hold full licence under 18.
Some people have said : "OK, wait 'till one or two months before 18, then do the lessons" BUT it may be that the training has to be taken over the year eg. a time frame for each module, if you like, so no-one can wait 'till the last minute and cram.

I think the minimum age to start driving should be changed to my age, i.e. 55.
This would cut down accidents very substantially and leave the roads pretty clear for good drivers like me.
There would be a lot less stupid people on the roads (by stupid, I mean people with cars with exhausts like sewer pipes and others like those who drive cars where the stereos are worth more than their cars!)
With so few cars, naturally the speed limits could be abolished on motorways just like in Germany.
Oh, and nothing under 500bhp would be allowed on motorways anyway so that leaves me in my M5 and precious few others to spoil my Ultimate Driving Experience.

I think the age is likely to be raised to 18. But really it should be about 40 for a man and 35 for a woman ~ ask any insurance company.

DSA have not made any decision as to when or if they are going to change it yet. So it will still be 17 for the foreseeable future.

I wouldn't worry about it, this rumour has been knocking about for years, I heard it when I was going to learn to drive.
