It might not be uh, peak performance, but I passed my driving test (roughly 1.5 years of lessons, 1 per week, ~£5000 on lessons)

You make it sound free lol. I definitely would love to make it harder to get a license In the USA, but you have to learn, get a permit, drive with an adult for six months, pass at least one written and one driven test. Spending 5200£ is fucking ludicrous. No test should be that hard
i watched a guy have his mom basically do his eye exam for him when i was waiting for a renewal once my belief on the dmv sticking to the rules is low
no test should be that expensive but it for sure should be that hard as driving kills so many people
it’s pretty common to have part of the requirement be drivers ed in schools around here and the stories i hear from extended family are crazy
that also ignores issues like the elderly as well, 72 year old lady ran a red light t boned my mom, totaled my mazda truck to where the wheel came off 40+ through a red light no breaks, shed had her lawyer on speed dial he beat the ambulance there, this was her second one that month (no charges)
the us is so car dependent and so lacking in mass transportation that we let almost anyone drive
how many dui repeats on the road? hint its real bad
