Actually they do. Driving here in the US is totally defensive driving
(for me at any rate) but spending 10 years in Germany I have to say they
do drive aggressive, but follow every rule. If a lane is blocked ahead
each care in the clear lane will allow one car to merge in front of
them. If you don't see a turn signal, they aren't turning. If they
aren't passing, they are in the right lane. Gabriella spent thousands
for mandatory driving school and when I took her to get her US drivers
license she was amazed that all she had to do was drive around the block.

It is certainly an impressive goal, but think of the consequences in
mandating a driving course that costs US 3,000 before one gets a driver's
license.
Many, many people of minimum to modest economic means would not have
licenses, which would certainly have an impact on the economy.

| $3,000.00 for driving school seems absurd.
Sounds like a govenment scam to enhance revenue.
