I wonder what the reason for this is. Anyone with a pulse can get a US license. I’ve gotten a California license and a UK one.
I passed the California one when I was 16 (which was an absolute joke) and proceeded to get into multiple close call collisions and got pulled over by the police with a threat of reckless driving.
In comparison I failed my UK test twice with 20 years of experience driving in the US. It was much tougher to pass. You have to know the rules well and be comfortable driving the test car.

- CincinnatiMan 3y ago> I wonder what the reason for this is Consider how difficult life is for people who aren’t able to get a driver’s license. US society is not set up for non-drivers.

- laurencerowe 3y agoAmusingly I almost failed my US test after passing the UK test a couple of months earlier (I figured I should learn to drive before moving to the US.) In the UK I was taught to inch out slowly while making a turn at a junction to see traffic while in the US you must stop completely behind the line. Fortunately as the US test only requires driving around the block I didn’t lose enough points to fail. The examiner said it was pretty common for people who learnt to drive in other countries.
