Never underestimate an Amerikkkans inability to know how to drive. Or their willingness to say that a big yellow painted truck with reflectors and a giant ass flashing sign is somehow not noticeable (thelemmy.club)

maybe instead of "no distracted driving" they should do "only distracted driving" and you can only get your license if you can navigate a deadly obstacle course while having an IMPORTANT interview over the phone

    In Norway they make you fill out your taxes while driving on an ice lake as part of the exam. They shoot your dog if you fail.

    I would REALLY trust drivers with that sort of strict licensing procedure

    Yeah it's a whole thing where you pick a puppy from a big group of them when you register for driving school and you care for the puppy while you're taking classes and all that. You get a collar for the dog when you pass the written exam.

    They even hand you the gun to do the job yourself if you fail the practical exam. They make the instructors wear bulletproof armor just in case you turn on them, but it's a social democracy so if you fail the test and use the one bullet on the instructor in an act of dramatic protest they just charge your credit card for an ebike with a dog basket and send you off. Fat tires for the snow conditions of course.
