I was already pretty sure I never needed to visit Georgia again but this sealed the deal for me. Drivers with no training or test??? No way.
Georgia teens will no longer need to pass a formal driving test to get a driver's license due to the pandemic. They will only need parents approval: bit.ly/2ybwbYu

Replying to @JohnBauters
I read something (I think in @greg_shill's writing) about how driving tests and licensing were created to make it *look* like drivers were trained so that it looked like it made sense to give them less liability/responsibility for the harm they cause.

Hmmm, I was at least misremembering the source, since it's not in papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.โ€ฆ where I thought I might have read it. Hopefully not the substance, but sometimes I remember things wrong (or the source might not have been that reliable).
