In Europe, drivers and vehicles are required to meet certain performance and capability requirements. In order to obtain a driver's license in most European countries, you must first demonstrate you can safely operate a motor vehicle, and you must be well-versed in the legal and practical details of motoring.

In America, if you're seventeen years old and you have about $30, you can be driving by the end of the day. Virtually no requirement to demonstrate proficiency. You can, as we all know, be blissfully ignorant of traffic laws and still maintain a driver's license. I think this is a problem. Of course, the car companies and the oil companies don't see a problem, but I do. And since the oil companies and car companies are basically in charge here, I think we can forget about proficiency testing.
