The minimum age is 18 normally unless the individual has taken Driver's ed which lowers the minimum age to 16. People here are not what I would call cautious drivers. There are two things that make driving a little different here. The winter time weather and the mountains. Driving on snow or ice is always interesting and Colorado gets a lot of that in the wintertime. There are a lot of windy mountain roads which can be intimidating to out of staters. Colorado residents just zip around the curves. There are some mountain passes here that have huge drop offs with no guard rail. A driver needs to pay attention in Colorado or it could be a bad day.
