Really? It's not possible in Finland, but if you were for example an
exchange student in US and got a driving license there and when you get
back, you just have to pass a driving test, IIRC to get a Finnish
driving license. There is a quite short time limit for the test, though.
So you have to be almost 18 when you return to Finland to get any
advantage of getting a US driving license at earlier age...

And what does this have to do with ME? None whatsoever :-) Except to
demonstrate that laws across Europe varies widely...
