In California Highway driving for cars is required for special drives only i.e. can't read charts, or tickets.

  You would be wrong, the handbook (and presumably the law it derives from) states (or at least stated when I took the test) freeway driving is a mandatory part of the driving test. I asked the instructor why we skipped it, and they said it was because the freeway portion "is too dangerous for the instructors". I had a good chuckle that day.

    Easy to say one is wrong. I would not argue, but the fact is fact. For car, as long as your vision in 20/40 in each eye, & 20/70 in both, at least, no physical disabilities for car controls, no seizure or medical issues, no law enforcement referrals, you don't need to do freeway drive. Any Yes to any of the above things will warrant a Special Driving Performance Evaluation, and that most probably includes freeway 99% of the time (assuming there's a freeway access), plus some other things. And for the record, no, no part of the driving test is dangerous for the examiner any more than for anybody sitting as a passenger. Routes are carefully designed to cover as much & as little as law requires, conditions allow, and much more. https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/handbook/driving-test-criteria/dmv-driving-test/ https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/handbook/driving-test-criteria...
