What I'm trying to do is explain than a person who is of age to be considered an adult has no legal obligation to obey his parents, and the parents have no legal rights over the child (who is an adult).

You obeyed your parents while you were an adult and living with them, but you had no legal obligation to do so, maybe moral ones, but that's all.

Edit: And I'm not talking about maturity. You had every right to refuse giving him your driver license. He might have booted you from his house, but he had no right to punish you without your permssion. You accepted his punishment out of respect and moral obligation over your parents, but you had every right to refuse. That's what I'm trying to explain.
