No. I'm 35, she is 2. The legal age that one can take their driving test is 17.
I'll leave you to do the maths there.

Ha! May I use this for the weekly anecdote?

Yes!

If it's any consolation,
she might die before she's 17.

or she might not learn to drive as soon as she's legally allowed
MASSIVELY CONTROVERSIAL

Or she'll take years to pass because she's female.

One cannot take their driving test.
One can take one's driving test.

Yes. I'll concede the hastily typed grammar point there, your highness.
I'll leave you to carry on with the mathematics problem though.

The mathematics is very simple.
If you had taken your test a year ago, and she had taken it in the last 6 months (for instance), what you just said would still hold.

But she is 2 years old. I already said that up there^ when I said "I'll leave you to do the maths there"
The mathematics is even simpler in this case. I'll simplify it down into days for you though...

I passed my test 6,510 days ago, when I was 6,318 days old.
The earliest my daughter could take her test is on her 17th birthday which would make her 6,209 days old.

6,510 - 6,209 = 301 days difference.

I would dispute that your version is simpler.
Especially since you didn't mention when you passed your test.
