Do you think the US system is better? Just let anyone and everyone drive 3 tons machines at speeds that would have been impossible to reach in any public mode of transportation 100 years ago?
I mean, the US has driving tests and written tests you have to pass....People don't walk into their state's Department of Motor Vehicles, say "1 license to drive please," and walk out without anyone checking to see if they're competent to drive a non-commercial vehicle.
Arguably they need to test people again once they're seniors, when mental decline can start. But that's another subject.
Yeah, no. A drivers license in the United States is much more like a participation trophy at this point. The testing process mirrors that.
For the whole country or just some states. Because there are 50.of.thek.with their own laws
The easiest test I've ever received was the written portion of a US driving test. I'm sure the average American would need no more than ten minutes of study to pass it. I regularly observe US drivers either willfully ignoring what they know from the test or having forgotten it entirely. Everything is bad here but for transportation I wouldn't be surprised if it were the worst in the developed world.
Even in Slovenia, I don't recall anyone remembering anything from their tests and we have to do a theoretical, practical test and a medical evaluation.
Not everything is about the US, despite them living rent free in your head, apparently. Also, that's not at all how it works in the US. But dont let the truth get in the way of your hate boner.
It pretty much is how it works with how easy to get your license in some States!
And some provinces, too
E.g.: Manitoba only requires you to show up to your appointments and pass tests, while Quebec needs 1.5 years of accredited training and road experience to get a probationary license.
