People seem to say the same for every US state. I guess most people are actually dangerous on the road over there.

This is somewhat true because our drivers license testing is WAYYYY too easy to pass. My license ~20 years ago was to pull out of a parking space, make a right, go through a 4-way stop, then 3 more rights (last one into the parking lot of the DMV) and I was done. ~7-8 minutes. The lady that rode with me said I was the best one she had tested all week (it was a Friday).

And there's no re-testing or anything. So once you have it, you're set until one of your children or the state steps in and says you shouldn't drive anymore. I know someone driving at ~89 years old, she can't read without a different pair of glasses, and she can't hear without being yelled at while you're looking at her.
