What is the legal driving age in the UK?

17 generally unless you have a disability when you can start to learn at 16

You'd think those searchers would spread out in a line rather than all walk behind each other.

Didnt they find some items on the beach? Maybe they think more it's there that has been taken by the tide.
I'm thinking bedding? Possibly he washed her to try and remove dna traces?

Could drugs be involved I wonder?

Thank you both. So, not that crazy to say he could have used the car illegally.

Did Alesha see or find something she wasn't meant to? Just a hunch. Post mortem took 7 hours apparently so makes me think cause of death not glaringly clear to see. Just speculating, I know nothing but have watched post mortem and relatively quick.

Post mortem plural I meant to say when I was a nursing student

Ah so they did spread out.

"police confirmed they made an arrest on a 16-year-old."

Bute schoolboy held over murder of Alesha MacPhail

Possibly someone who hasn't quite left school yet. In year 11 maybe?

Is that the last year of schooling? Or does it go up to 18? Also, would they have left school (if up to 16) by now, with the start of summer vacation?

Not that it matters, just conversing.

 

[HayLouise]

I think Year 12 is the last year, where I am from anyway.

Police confirmed a “number of items” have been recovered amid rumours that a child’s clothing had been discovered on the waterfront, but the force would not say what they had found.

If he is 16 he could be in S4, S5 or S6 confusingly. I've just had to look it up. Secondary education in Scotland - Wikipedia

What is the legal driving age in the UK?

17. This was my thinking also, given that the cars are being seized. Not unusual for younger teens to have been taught by parents or friends earlier than this, but very unusual for them to risk being 'on the roads' without a license due to age.
