Where I live in the US most people get a learners permit when they're teenagers, then when they're ready they take a written and driving test at the DMV to get their regular license. I got mine when I was 16. Is that not how it's done elsewhere?

So you can be fully licensed at 16 in the states? In my province in Canada you start the process at 16 but written test and two practical tests later the earliest you can get a full license is 18.

That was the process when I was a teenager in the 90s and I've never heard that it's changed since! I had my full license when I was 16, but I don't think your were supposed to have more than a certain number of people in the car it drive out of state until 18. We all did that stuff anyway though and no one seemed to care lol

Yep, my kid is part way through the graduated license and it feels like a long, long process. I think there’s value in it as there are restrictions on the number of people under a certain age until you get the full license. Which I agree with.
