  If they were serious about improving safety they’d have stricter licensing requirements. A one-legged turkey can probably get licensed in the states I’ve lived in.

Some of that could be explained by people moving here from other states, but it’s usually stuff in the driver’s handbook and in the worst case just doing a search of the vehicle code will give you the answer.
