"At what age" vs. "from what age"

English Language Learners Asked on December 9, 2021

Could you tell me if there is any difference in meaning and usage between at what age and from what age? For example:

At/From what age are you allowed to drive a car in your country?

One Answer

At the age of... refers to something happening during a particular year of a person's life, often a single occurrence. "I left school at the age of sixteen."

Obviously you can drive a car at any age once you have passed your test, but there is a minimum age for taking the driving test. So you need From what age...? here.
