Colorado for example, Complete a written test, complete several hours supervised driving, eye test, driving test, pay. Could probably be done in a week then you're legal permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] biddy@feddit.nl 1 point 2 years ago 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.
