you usually know when you are sold it but if like me and you were bought it as a gift then i would say check how you pull off in your first two gears. rwd usually has a faster pull off(so i am told)

What is the age that you can start to get your divers permit?

Best is to look under the car from the rear. If there is a large circular tube or shaft (driveshaft) between the front engine area and the rear axle, then you have a REAR WHEEL DRIVE CAR. Looking again under the rear of the car, there will be a large differential housing to which the drive shaft and two rear half axles are arranged in the form of a "T".
Be careful, rear engine cars like some Porsches, some VWs, and others will not have a driveshaft, but yes, they still have rear wheel drive.
Be careful, there are FOUR WHEEL drive cars, and ALL WHEEL Drive cars. You should try to learn which cars have these other features and how to identify the their presence. For example, an all wheel drive MBz cannot be tested on a two wheel drive chassis dynometer as used in the CA State Smog Inspections.
