I grew up in one of the largest cities in the western hemisphere. I didn't need any car because the public transportation is everywhere. I had no driver education nor training. I received my CA driver license when I was 21. I took driver test and written exam. I didn't get any ticket yet.
My brother received his very first driver license and it was out of country. It has completely different laws. He went to the mall and asked for driver license. He filled out the form and got an "interview" with a guy who gave him a interview test to make sure he understands the rules of driving. Then he filled out his signature and gave it to my brother. That's how my brother got a driver license at 16.
