Some people who lack a driver license know how to drive and are quite capable of driving safely. A few of those, I'm almost certain, drive better than most people with a license.

When you need a ride home from the airport, do you want a licensed driver, or an unlicensed one?

It's a bad analogy. The current situation is akin to requiring that the _rider_ is a licensed driver or car will drive into a tree somehow.

I guess you'd take the unlicensed driver, then? Or maybe just ask if they're a good driver? The bureaucracy measures what it measures; if it was useless, you'd ignore it. It isn't perfect (it never is), but it's a simple measure.
