I got my learners permit the day after my 16th birthday, then about 6 months later I took my road test and got my "Junior License" which is basically a learners permit but you can drive between your home and work, a work-study program, college, or night school (no high school) between 5 and 9 pm. If you take drivers education (which I did just so i could get my license as soon as possible) you can get your full license at 17, if you don't you cant get it until 18. So for many it isn't even possible to get a license at 16
