Age to start driving 24' class C
Howdy, Have some almost fully grown kids. What age do you think it is ok to let a young adult drive a class c. 17, 20 and 24. Mostly need input on the 17 year old.

I think starting young can help, but I know a lot of folks whose early learning has made them overconfident and risk taking. So, I think it really comes down to the individual.
When I was learning to drive, my dad took me out in his pickup which just happened to be missing the rearview mirror - it really helped me learn how to use the side mirrors. Before that, I mostly turned my head and looked back. That helped a lot when I towed a trailer the first time.
I also think that driving different vehicles regularly helps improve driving skills a lot. If you only drive one vehicle, you get used to its handling and get lazy. When you are switching vehicles a lot, you have to stay alert and adjust to different handling, as well as different blind spots, etc.
