I heard that the government will be changing the age that people below the age of 18 are not allowed to get a driver's licence? am I right? Is there a website where I can check?

In California, you can get a license at age 16 if you have a clean record and have taken driver's training. Otherwise you wait until 18. Been that way a long time.
Accident statistics would indicate that 21 would be a lot better.

For Oklahoma:
School Requirements
You need documentation from your school showing that you have taken and passed the required 8th Grade Reading Proficiency Test or an alternative reading proficiency test approved by the State Department of Education.
You need to bring proof that you are either currently enrolled in school or in a school program or that you have graduated high school or the equivalent. Bring the document that applies to you from the following:
High school diploma.
Other proof of high school graduation.
Proof of home school on the proper Department of Public Safety form.
Proof of an excused absence.
Proof of enrollment and satisfactory progress in a GED program.
Completed GED.
Proof of employment if you are working more than 24 hours each week
Any forms from your school must be typed and have an original signature and your school's official stamp. No fooling' around―make sure those school forms are complete! You don't want to get to the tag agent, only to have to come back later because a stamp, a signature, or something else is missing, now, do you?
Driver Education
You'll need to present your Driver's Education green card, a certificate of completion from a commercial driver's school, or a Parent-taught Driver's Education Course approved by the Department of Safety.
Graduated Drivers Liscense...
Once you apply for an Oklahoma driver's license and the State of Oklahoma grants you a graduated driver's license, you will have the following restrictions:
You are permitted to drive between the hours of 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., with exceptions for driving to work, school, church or related activities, or if you are driving with a licensed driver in the seat next to you.
You are not allowed to drive, even between 5 a.m. and 11 p.m. with multiple passengers younger than age 21, unless those passengers are members of your family. So, while you are allowed to drive your brothers or sisters around, you may not drive around in a car full of friends.
Not too bad. You have a year with some restrictions, during which you'll gain a lot of driving experience. Once the year is over, if you've kept your driving record clean, the restrictions will be lifted.
If you get a traffic ticket and are convicted (found guilty) of a moving violation during the first year of driving, the graduated license restrictions will remain on your license until you turn 18.

It is totally dependent on what state you live in. I am in Minnesota and you can get a learner's permit at 15 that allows you to drive with one of your parents or a person over 18 that is approved by your parents. The next step is a provisional license at age 16, where there are restrictions on the time of day you can drive (can't drive late at night) and you lose your license for two moving violations and have to start over with a learner's permit. In Minnesota, you cannot recieve your full license until you are 18 and had a provisional license for 18 months.

in the experience that your enable continues to be valid then you definately only might desire to schedule the line try. If not you will possibly be able to desire to get a enable first so which you will practice and then schedule the line try once you experience waiting. even however you're 18 you nevertheless elect an approved driving force with you once you force with a enable.

in missouri you have to get your permit when you turn 15 and have it for atleast 6 months and have 20 hours of behind the wheel driving then when you turn 16 you get a restricted license which means you cant drive between the hours of 1a.m. and 5a.m. and i think there are a few other restrictions and then when you turn 18 you get a regular license where you can drive anytime you want
