In Germany, you take individual driving lessons and group classes on traffic rules including a mandatory first aid class.

Are you implying that the US is cursed, forever pathologically unable to have bikeable places, because it's too large?

If only the US was smaller...

This is very common in the US, even though it is not typically mandated. Technically you can just go take the test if you're up to it, and some people do exactly that with no more training than they got from mom & dad. But a lot of kids take the classroom route. Not every parent wants to teach.
