*Feels stupid* ..sorry ill correct my error..not with it arm..blah...
No, it doesn't.
It's been 17 for yonks.
Duh. I'm slow.
And that 'it's changing to 18' is bollocks. But still about 4 times a year we get someone asking. Bleeeeeeee.
That was really pointless and doesn't actually make much sense but I don't want to do my history homework so eff it.
*wails*
I'll stop posting now.
buying cigarettes-18
buying and drinking alcohol-21(exception, about 2 or 3 states are still 18 years of age to be able to drink, in the US)
bar/clubs-look at the answer for alcohol
Drive: 17
Alcohol: 20
Everything else is 18. :cool:
However, you can drive at 16 if you have a dissability that means it would be extremely useful to have a car. I know that because of a cousin who's dissabled.
Oh, and it's 16 for riding motorbikes and mopeds up to 50cc. Not sure about other bike sizes & ages though.
