Most of us drive. But the age at which you can begin driving differs depending on the country you live in and the laws governing driving age.

Similarly, it's not mandatory to take formal driving lessons before sitting behind the wheel in every country. But to explore the world legally on four wheels, everyone must take a driving test. In addition, it's often necessary to undergo an eye test and/or other medical checks. And the cost of obtaining a driver's license can be prohibitively expensive. 

Referencing online driver education resource Zutobi, in this gallery, we list the 30 hardest countries in the world to learn to drive and indicate each country's learn-to-drive score. The lower the number, the more difficult it is to pass a driving exam in that country.

Click on and see if the place you plan to pass your driving test in is among them, and find out the nation with the most expensive and stringent process.
