No. It's always been 17, ever since 1968 - when it was lowered from 18. But, in 2012, the Lib-Dem's have said that, and the Prime Minister has confirmed that, the driving age will be lowered to 16 in England, kept 17 in Wales and N.I. but raised to 21 in Scotland. Weird.

Why should the driving age be 15?

It should be 15 because it would lower taxes. Teenagers that are not yet the legal driving age are tempted to drive illegally, which calls for the right disciplinary actions via the police. If the age was lowered, police would have less work, and therefore lower taxes. There are other reasons.
