Learning the basics to safely operate a car is fairly straightforward and good fun, at least to a level that’s on par with a typical licensed driver. However going through the whole process to get a formal drivers license is a different matter and is often quite expensive.
I wasn’t specifically talking about the US. The US has unusually low requirements, because when it’s basically required to drive to participate in society, you have to set the bar low enough that the dumbest, poorest, most disabled, reckless idiots that definitely shouldn’t be driving still do.
And yeah, obviously you shouldn’t operate a car without a license except in emergencies, it’s illegal. Is enforcement really that bad in the US that this needed to be said?
