I was unclear. In my head I was specifically asking about: but it

> You can get a license after self declaring doing the "course" with your dad and taking 10 minute round around School parking lot

I don't think it's that easy anywhere.

It’s not far off. My driving test in San Francisco was a couple of manoeuvres in the parking lot and a drive around the block.

New York has a much more difficult road test, but nothing to the level of a British one. Coming from NY, I always thought it was ridiculous that you could be licensed without showing that you can drive in traffic. But it’s not like New Yorkers have a reputation for good driving, so it’s not a big part of the solution.

Can you describe drivers license procedure in your state?

Is there a state licensed drivers ed training course required? How long is it (hours) and what is the division between theory

    traffic law
    best practices
    basic physics
    basic car knowledge

and practice

    basic vehicle roadworthy check - fluids, lights
    pre drive preparation - setting up mirrors/seat/headrest, fastening seatbelts
    parking lot maneuvers - parallel parking, reversing, stopping and starting on a slope
    city driving

and the same for the final test?
