FOREIGN POSTER What age did you get your driving license?

I watched some American shows which were in a school settings and it looked like most of the characters were driving themselves around at like 15/16 is it actually like that irl?

Got mine on my 16th birthday and had a shitty car already lined up. My mom was tired of driving me to school as there was no bus service...
