> There's also the added issue that American driving standards for a licence are incredibly low since it's kinda required for you to have a driver's licence to exist and have a life in the majority of the country.

Relative to what?

Relative to developed countries like Germany, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands, so on and so forth.

First, each state has their own drivers test, lumping “the US driving test” into a single unit displays a clear lack of knowledge on the subject matter.

Second, actually trying to verify if you were right or not, you’re not. Germany, for example, has driving tests similar to the state of maryland in the US.

You are, unfortunately, incorrect and ignoring research/critical thinking skills.

Critical thinking skills? Gimme a break, lol, driving standards, on average, in the USA are abysmal in comparison to these countries. Traffic data don't lie, no matter if tiny Maryland has better standards, it doesn't improve the average.

Also, how exactly have you verified this, I'd like to see the sources, thank you.
