n the United States, a person's 16th and 18th birthdays are important milestones. In most Spanish-speaking countries, the legal driving and voting age is 18. Since Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens, they can vote when they are 18 years old. They can get their driver's license at age 18 or at 16 with parental consent. How would your 18th birthday be different if you lived in Puerto Rico? got this from my.hrw.com got stuck on this question too...
