You can hold a learners permit from the age of 16, but have to be 16 and a half before you can have your P plates.
Drinking is 18

Public Drinking age is 18. Under 30's asked for ID. Private functions same as UK laws and is permissible. Note no drinking allowed on streets or parks or outside a private property, fenced function or bar boundary limits.
Drink Driving is here. P and L Plates are not allowed at all 0%

Re: Driving and drinking ages
I first began drinking & driving at 16, it's the law in the Isle of Man.
Being 36 now, I think I've done bloody well to avoid a very serious road accident.
In Perth, it's fashionable to do a couple of bottles of Margaret River's finest and take on the Mitchell freeway.
