Unfortunately, unlike Europe, we require far too much daily commute and travel to not have licenses basically be a given.
America is far too spread out and large for either non-car transportation or public transportation unless you specifically live in a metropolitan area.
Granted, but I still find it irresponsible to require the license but then have no actual requirements beyond paperwork to obtain it. What's the point of it other than needless bureaucracy then?
I think the drivers' test is a half decent requirement. Mine was taken in downtown, only during the busiest hours on the worst streets. It was a lot of pressure and I even failed once.
It likely comes down a lot to your local branch and how bloatedly corrupt they are. Shit mine won't even talk to a teen without some proof of practice, but I know back in Louisiana they just hand it to you after a DUI check.
