At age 14 you are expected to pay adult prices on our busses.
at age 16: you pay full adult fares on our railways,
pay income tax,
pay national insurance,
get a job,
Can legaly have hetrosexual sex,
smoke/buy cigarettes.
At 17 you can hold a driving licence.
At 18 you can drink alcohol in a pub..
See what i mean its all very confusing......
Answers:
I know what you are saying with all the different things at different ages, it is very confusing and even more with the drinking age probably going up to 21, and also laws possibly coming into place about young drivers under a certian age not being able to drive with passengers at night. *rolls eyes* Typically though, you are classed as an adult from 18. This will probably go up to 21 but who needs anything simple in life, hey?!
Based on observing Simon Cowell, sometime in your 50's I think...
Given the behavior of your british football teams and fans, it's questionable whether there's any guarantee that it ever happens.
dont bother.
i think some things like driving a lorry are 21 so maybe thats when you become an adult??
Well since you posted in the Law section, you become an adult with respect to the law and can be tried/prosecuted as an adult at 18.
depends on what age the goverment want to tax you at!
it's 18
at 18 you are an adult but the way some people behave it should be 25, sorry to all you mature 18 year olds
16, it is the age you can move out, have sex as you have already stated, lottery and drink some sort of alcohol at pubs, and can enter a pub on your own, get married, get a full time job. 16 is the adult age. And by the way, the person who said you can only get banged up from the age of 18-you are wrong. You can get banged up for life at 15/16.
18
16 is also the age at which you can have homosexual sex, too, since Sutherland v United Kingdom 1997, although it wasn't until the end of 2000 that the government finally was able to pass the bill through the House of Lords to amend it to 16 (previously 18).
You're wrong anyway, a male can legally have heterosexual sex at ANY age.
To reflect on some of the above answers, the age at which you can be prosecuted for a crime is 10 (the law of doli incapax, reduced from 14 to 10 to accommodate the prosecution of James Bulger's killers) and the age is probably 21 for lorry driving just to ensure you've had enough driving experience (and can see over the wheel).
at 14 , 15, 16 and 17 there are still things you can not legally do, at 18 all these things become available to you... so 18 is the answer.
