In a considerable part of the world. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minimum_driving_ages

Yeah, I assumed most of the world was at least 18. I was surprised when I moved to the US at 15 and could get a learner's permit and drive with an adult, and drive by myself at 16.

Growing up in a rural part of Ohio it was needed. Everything was 20-30 miles away. Need milk and eggs, well see you an a hour

Yeah, I totally understand how it's necessary across many parts of the US. There's so much I couldn't have done in high school, like having a job, if I couldn't drive. I didn't live in a rural area, but between the sprawl and lack of public transportation...
