Wait, how do you get a drivers license in the US? Do you have a minimum of required training, a theoretical and a practical test?

I got my first drivers license in Utah in the 90s while I was a tourist. You did ~20? multiple choice questions then a 10 minute test drive - wasn't even on real roads. Looks like it hasn't changed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTUCmTbPQfo https://secure.utah.gov/exam-center/exam/bank/take-test.html

Yes, but the tests are cursory. Just drive on the highways in the US and you’ll immediately see that the testing regime doesn’t work. Also, you just need to pass the meaningless tests once, and then can move from state to state and retain your license well into your oblivious years of senility.
