VERY VERY true. It's close to a YEAR of education and driver training before you can even THINK about getting your license, not to mention the extremely tough driving test.
Why do you think Germany, with the Autobahn, has one of the world's lowest fatal crash (and overall accident) rates in the world? Train people to drive properly, not like here in the US.
The one thing I don't agree with overseas is the strict vehicle inspections though. I love my old cars. But really, they are necessary to keep clapped-out beaters off the road. Face it, a rusty '79 Caprice may be able to go as fast as a Focus on the freeway, but it's not nearly as safe.
