I don't think there's an age per se, I think a teen should be able to get one if he demonstrates responsibility and the driver education is up to snuff. Unfortunatly, that isn't really checked, and we know the education is lacking. Similarly, I'm sure there are some 40 year olds that aren't responsibly enough to drive a Kia. Not really directed at your friend, but I guess if he's prone to stupidity and killing himself on the highway, I'd rather him be on a bike than in an SUV.
