The Comprehensive
Reform for Studying Driving, slated to go into effect on April 1, was postponed for three months to July 1 due to a "technical reason," a
spokesman for the Transportation Ministry told The Jerusalem Post on
Sunday.
As part of the reform, the minimum driver's license age will drop
from 17 years old to 16 years and 9 months old. However, the plan calls
for extending the period in which new drivers must drive with a licensed
escort from three months to six months.
