In US, you have a special license if you are under 18 or 16. I forgot which one. I think 18. It has a note saying 18 in such and such date as well.
AND before that special first year license, there are learner permits and so on while you are at traffic school or have passed the written portion.
As for qualified drivers with you, there are exceptions for first years and most never have qualified drivers with them. That is because of a possibility and accepted law that if there is a written statement and permission by parents and such because being with the new drivers 24/7 isn't feasible example going to school and such, the requirement can be waived. So most have no qualified drivers beside even though they should at times.
So basically if parents say it's OK for their children to drive unsupervised it's alright?
Most people here learn with an Instructor, but some have parents who get them insured and take them out to practice also. Also, if you drive without someone who is qualified your insurance is void and you can be banned/fined/imprisoned.
I think, on average, it takes people a few months to pass their driving test, between 12 - 20 lessons, usually one a week. But no parent I know would let their child drive around unsupervised before they pass their test! Until then they can get the bus to school or walk

Yeah but some of the people use their parent's car. Now their parents have to drive around with it. Also, isn't it more unsafe with predators and other people? Now it's a big sign saying, "Hey, I'm a girl under the age of 18!"
If they're like the plates here, they'll be magnetic and easy to take off/put on.
Like I said I think it should be for everyone who is a 'Learner', and it could also be a male.
