Answer 1

Well let's see...

-long line at dmv - for all the idiots that didn't pass the first time

-vision test - so you can see where your going

-must have all paper work and temps - to show you are legal and eligible for a license

- must pass written/computer driving test - that you are smart enough to drive

- Car must by inspected by instructor - the car is road worthy

- Cones (maneuverability test) - worse part.

if you knock the cone over you fail. - hmmm... if the was a child in a real situation you would have run them over. Or so you don't hit my car when your trying to park

-2nd part, you drive around and they tally all mistakes - you fail this I sure wouldn't want to be on the road with you

Answer 2

It is only going to get worse.

Terrorists in this nation with driver's licenses ... efforts to make it more difficult for repeats.

The current "all your problems are due to" target is illegal immigrants, which means all legitimate people have to prove they are not one.

Lots of maniacs on the highways carelessly having accidents ... easiest way to prevent that at present is to make everyone prove thei not one, before you can get first license.

You might visit dmv a few times, see how many people waiting at different offices, to find time of day & location that is least crowded.  Figure the driver test is near the dmv office, so maybe also pick one where the local traffic is less of a pain.

Answer 3

It's not about your anxiety, it's about keeping you and everyone else you encounter on the road safe. If the items on that list (other than the long line) are too difficult, you have no business behind the wheel.

Bud, it's the same in every state, basically.
