Yeah, lucky you. But you're lucky for some reasons. In USA I think it's less likely to make car accidents due to improved infrastructure, and lots of highways(which are nearly absent in my country). That makes it more difficult to drive in my country, which is why, I believe, requires one to be at least 18 to drive.
But it's also fucked up: by now adolescents are more busy with school, and exam periods start at around this age, which leads to more stressful situations...

I'm not sure I'd want 15-year-olds on the roads.

Oh man, 15 year olds learn to drive on the roads with the rest of us here in the US. It's a nightmare.

Trust me, it'll probably be a while before you actually feel independent. That is, unless your parents are the kind to kick you out of the house when you're legal. God help you if that happens.

Car is best thing from what becomes available when you celebrate your 18th birthay.
Just don't buy french car if you don't want to be disappointed.
BTW infrastructure of roads has nothing to do with age when you can drive. In most European countries roads are good as in USA, but I don't think there is any nation in Europe where you can get driver license at age of 15.

You don't really get your license at 15 here most of the time, usually by the time you have your full license (not just your permit, which you legally need to be accompanied by a licensed adult to drive with) you're already going to be 16. And to get your license this early you have to pay for expensive on-the-road training classes first. That's why a lot of people simply wait until they are 18. Then all they need to do is take the written exam, the driving test, and then they've got their license.

What's wrong with french cars? Not having a 1mpg 1rpm 6L engine is not a downside.
