The states vary, but when I was 16 in Maryland I had to do classroom training for some number of hours, then when I got my learner's permit I had to do some number of hours of driving with an instructor, then some number of hours driving with a licensed adult. Only after all that, and I think some minimum time limit, could I take the 20 question multiple choice test and a parking test to get my driver's license.

I think part of the difference may also be that in USA you need to drive to participate in society (fundamental right -ish) whereas in much of Europe driving is seen as a privilege, albeit a very useful privilege.
