the driving test being just a drive around the block?

This varies. Driving is regulated at the state level, not the federal, and even then, it's pretty subjective.

I grew up poor, so didn't get my first license until I was 22. I was in a small town in Oklahoma, so there was one place to take it. First two times I failed; the officer grading the test was pretty much by the book. Third time, it was a laid back dude, and he didn't even have me parallel park. Gave me a 97 or something crazy like that.



view as:

I got my license at 16 without ever taking a driving test. To say it "varies" is a severe understatement.
