What is the age requirement to apply for a driver license in New York?

The correct answer is: 16

To apply for a driver's license in New York, one must be at least 16 years old. Option A (15) is incorrect because 15 years old is the minimum age to apply for a permit. Option C (17) is incorrect because while New York does allow 17 year olds to apply for a driver's license, they must have completed a driver's education course and have a certain number of supervised driving hours. Option D (18) is incorrect because 18 years old is the minimum age to apply for a full, unrestricted driver's license in New York.
