How is uncle bobs best buddy allowed to give me lessons, if I am not allowed in the drivers seat, as I do not have a license yet? So you have to break the law first in order to be able to abide by it?

In the USA, you can get a learner's permit that allows you to drive (with some restrictions that vary by state. In some cases, that uncle Bob need not even be present) before you have a full license (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learner%27s_permit#United_States https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learner%27s_permit#United_St...)

  I think this is crazy. In the netherlands you take lessons and once the teacher thinks you will succeed you can take the practical exam. There is records available about the successrates per school so there is some healthy competition. You are not allowed to drive without a license. Only if you are paying a licensed teacher who is registered as a driving teacher and had education for just that. It is expensive but our roads feel safe. Very much for cyclists as well.

    http://www.kansasgdl.org/instruction-permit.htm http://www.kansasgdl.org/instruction-permit.htm Age 14, pass a written test, now you can drive, but no alone. http://www.kansasgdl.org/restricted-license.htm http://www.kansasgdl.org/restricted-license.htm Age 15, and now you can drive by yourself and siblings from home to work or school. It use to be pretty popular to take driver's education in public schools, but this is not as common in smaller highschools. It wasn't offered at my school. My parents sent me to a private driver's education company to learn to drive where I learned to drive automatic and stick, and also how to get into and recover from slides on wet sand and snow. But most of my friends were taught by a family member or a friend of the family.
