To have a driver’s license you will be asked to have some documents including photos, a copy of your identification card, elementary school or middle school diploma, physical report and a document which says you didn’t kill anybody.
In Turkey lots of teenagers don’t like the driving age law. Because when they compare Turkey with America they thinks it is unfair. In America the driving age is 16. In some states it is 14.
