Not sure why you would say the US doesn't have proper drivers education. I took a mandatory semester class in high school (in the 80s) with a proper curriculum, a driving simulator, a dedicated paved training area, cars with instructor brake pedals, and lots of scary movies on how we could kill ourselves and others with bad driving...

From what I read in this thread and on reddit, in the USA (somewhat state-dependent) you can drive with almost no experience in a vehicle that has zero safety standards (some states only check up on emissions, others don't even check that, or so people on reddit said).
