24．（8.00分）Although people drive in all countries， the rules can be quite different between nations and areas． For this reason， you should always learn the laws before you decide to drive in a foreign country．

In the U．S．， people in Alaska may have a learner's permit at the age of fourteen． This is quite

different from the driving laws of Niger， where a person must be at least twenty﹣three years old to drive． If you want to know the minimum（最小的） driving age in most countries， the answer is eighteen． It may also surprise you to learn that not every country allows people to drive， although most of them do． For example， women are not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia no matter how old they are． Driving on the right or left side of the road is also different． In Great Britain， Cyprus， Australia， India， and Malaysia， people drive on the left． However， in the U．S．， Mexico， France， and Canada， people are required to drive on the right． In fact， one country can have different driving rules for different areas． People in Hong Kong drive on the left， while drivers in other parts of China use the right side of the road．

Other different driving laws between countries include those about using mobile phones． In Japan， using any kind of mobile phones is illegal（的）， even if you do not need to hold the phone with your hands． However， in Argentina and Australia， drivers are allowed to talk on their mobile phones if they do not use their hands．
