I would feel truly safer on the road if standards like this existed.  But what about the 30% of the American public that couldn't pass these tests, even if they tried?? Screw 'em!   They don't deserve to share the road with the rest of us.  Here's your bus pass . . . . .Once you pass your test, you want to drive a brain dead automatic with no steering feedback, go for it, but lets not use that as a starting point for skill assessment.</blockquote>
