Posted by Eugene Volokh: Highest and Lowest Starting Ages for Unsupervised Driving in the U.S.: http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_03_15-2009_03_21.shtml#1237236968
Which states have the highest and lowest starting ages for unsupervised driving, though perhaps with limits on time and number of passengers? (My source is the [1]Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.) ([2]Show answer.) South Dakota: 14 years 6 months, or 14 years 3 months with driver education. New Jersey: 17 years. 1 sets the age below 15 (South Dakota). 5 set it at 15 years to 15 years 6 months. 33 set it at 16. 10 set it at 16 years 1 month to 16 years 6 month. 1 sets it at 17 (New Jersey). According to [3]Europe.Org, "in most [European Union] countries the minimum age for driving is 18." ([4]Hide answer.)
