My school district actually had driver’s ed as a required class in our Sophomore year. Our instructor was a former Formula 1 and Indy Car racer.
Myself and a couple other guys in the class had already had our licenses for a while and he considered us pretty good drivers. (high praise)
One day he selected us out of the class to ride with him the next day. He took us out on gravel roads and taught us how to “drift” corners and recover from skids. Fun day!
And yes, many traffic jams and accidents are caused by stupid drivers trying to (meter) the speed of traffic. Plus the whole “MERGE” thing is lost on Americans. It took me a few years to break my wife of awful habits, but I did. Now she uses lights to “flash” truckers that they’re clear, she merges properly, and knows how to use the cruise control.
Sounds fun... In the U.S. they’ll give anyone driver’s license...Even those in their 80s being treated for dementia...More money for the DMV and State etc....It’s incredible.
Take care.
