    Driving under the influence is a ban able offence (reckless endangerment) in most countries.

    So is a proper driver’s ed before giving even a learner’s permit. US loves giving a multi ton killing machine to untrained people with impulse control. And teenagers

      I agree with you, but the difference is that, in the US, people NEED to be able to drive to function in society. That’s why the bar has to be so low to get a license.

          It isn’t. Public transit is great. When will it be discovered in America? Who knows.
