Since ten years ago
I have made up the sentence below.
(1) I haven't done any driving since I got my driver's license ten years ago.
Almost all of my non-native English speaking friends think it's grammatically wrong to say "since + a time + ago" in the same phrase.
What is your opinion? Thank you very much.

Your sentence is fine. The clause " since I got my driver's license " is grammatical. "ten years ago" is just an additional informative phrase.

If you had written "since ten years ago", then yes, but not when you specify an action as you did with "I got my driver's license".
