Back in the day (1985) when I was going through all of that, at 15 1/2 you could get a learners permit that allowed you to drive with anyone over 21 years old.

During that time you had to take a driving class that either the highschools taught or you could do one through an outside source.

When you turned 16 you had to take a written then an actual driving test through the state dept of motor vehicles.

This of course was the way Washington state dealt with it. Each state has control over thier roads over here so things differ between states.

As far as speeds, residential areas are usually 25 MPH, main streets in town something like 35 MPH, smaller highways 55 MPH, and interstates 65 MPH. When you get to limited access interstates, rarely though, you see 70 MPH. Most of Interstate 5 is 70 MPH.

This is based on California, other states vary somewhat. Montana still (as far as I know) has unposted interstates with no limit. But that might have changed recently.
