    That sounds wild. I imagine it varies by state and some will be easier than others.

    In the UK you have a lot of lessons and practice getting used to driving the car and navigating traffic, as well as perform some manoeuvres; for instance a parallel park and bay parking. We practice the emergency stop, hill starts, and roundabouts and more.

    Then you have the theory test where they ask questions about signs and road rules etc. many are common sense but people fail a lot.

    Then you have hazard perception where you watch videos and click the hazards before they become a danger. This is harder as you have to click at the right points.

    All in all it’s rather difficult to get driving and I am all for it as it means people on the roads can generally drive.

      I’ve seen documentaries about UK drivers’ training. From what I’ve seen it involves sex with the instructors and the test administrators. And, as far as I can tell, only young women ever take drivers’ training.

        Actually this is how I got my licence. For some reason they want to record it too. Tough day to be a dude I tell you.
