If I was in charge of the Department of Driving Licenses I'd have an entire team just to scour social media (hexbear.net)

The amount of people just posting evidence of them being entirely unable to drive a car with 0 consequences is insane. Great compilation of you raging out over somebody going 5 below the limit, phone in hand in the drivers seat. Really liked when you got stuck behind a lorry for 20 seconds and were frothing at the mouth over it. You're never getting your license back.

I've not ridden in the US, being a small german boy, but I don't exactly get the feeling better testing is the solve here if you never even do anything about this afterwards.

A common idea in germany is pedestrians and cyclists, including small children, are "forcing their right of way" and it's kind of their fault if they get hit because they get the short end of the stick of being hit by a car. The judiciary might punish you, in a car, hallucinating a traffic light being green while it is red and running over a small child with up to 3 months of a driving ban you can contest.
