Drove from Iowa to LA at 15.

I now have 45 years of driving experience. Seen a lot of crap with many miles under my belt. 2 accidents neither my fault.

We had a full school year of drivers education with a licensed instructor/teacher.

All you have to today is throw $500 at a "private" driving school that will provide 4 hours actual driving and they give you a license.

Then, 2 years of driving with an adult driver plus public drivers education. Now $500 and a few hours.
