My driver's license (I'm German) cost me about 2000€ ($2181.75). As a teenager unless you live in a city like Berlin, one of your primary financial concerns is getting enough money together to pay for your driver's license and a car (keep in mind Germany has more regulations there as well).

From my impression of US politics and culture I don't see anyone seriously pushing for that.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that the process of getting a driver's license also usually takes several weeks at least.

I think the regime that you're under would be quite an improvement to here, which is chaos. Crashes were not common, the situation on the road was orderly, almost everyone followed the rules perfectly.

Are your insurance costs high?
